In the past, I would have cared about the BBC

but since the Brexit vote, they've taken on the mantle of "Brexit Broadcasting Corporation". Both by giving disproportionate airtime (the correct proportion being "zero") to Nigel Farage - a notably unelected person in the UK, and by an editorial stance which seems to be "if it's from a Brexiteer, it can't be challenged or held to scrutiny". Even Radio Four has suffered.

Exhibit A is todays puff piece that we're all holding street parties, celebrating feeling so much better since the vote.

Except it isn't if you read the story, rather than the headline.

Some great documentaries (almost all I watch on the BBC these days) on BBC2/4, but then so have PBS, Amazon and a host of other services.
