The BBC is not just the editors of The Today Programme, or Question Time. It is not just that Panorama about ADHD or Stephen Nolan’s Stonewall podcast
The BBC is also Yasmin Finney and Ncuti Gatwa on Doctor Who. It is Newsround. It is Horrible Histories doing the Bristol bus boycott. It is CBBC dramas for children about autism. It is a platform for new music of all kinds on radio. It has no ads.
Hating “the BBC” because of Tory news editors misses the bigger picture.
I don’t watch much TV or radio news output at all any more, but I do listen to a lot of #6Music, stuff on #BBC Sounds and what my kids watch on #CBBC and #CBeebies. And #DoctorWho, obviously.
Whilst it is obviously not going to dismantle capitalism, the stuff I see is Woke As Fuck. It’s very respectful and encouraging to all cultures and to LGBT+ and neurodiverse children and adults.
The right wing and billionaire press hate the BBC and attack it constantly for a reason. It should be defended.
