An impartiality dispute engulfing the BBC could lead to the downfall of the UK's public broadcaster, with GB News host Dan Wootton arguing it had revealed the BBC's bias to the British public.
The BBC’s football coverage was highly condensed and without commentary over the weekend, after disciplinary action against Match of the Day host Gary Lineker caused dozens of sports presenters and reporters to walk off their jobs.
According to New Zealand-born British journalist Dan Wootton, “we might be witnessing the end of the BBC as we know it.” There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and Iâm out of order?Wootton predicted BBC management would “give in to Gary Lineker… and his lefty mate.” But he said the dispute had revealed the BBC’s bias to the British public.
“Which means we don’t want the BBC, we no longer want to be forced to pay this tax in order to watch our television – and by the way, in the UK you face jail if you don’t pay the TV tax.” “Remember, the BBC never saw Brexit coming, they spoke down to Brexit voters, they treated us like fools, they never saw the Boris Johnson sweep of the red wall coming.
