The BBC hasn’t been impartial since it was established, it’s sole purpose was to support the British State, that was it’s entire purpose of being created in the first place. I mean it’s not like there was never any news in England prior
Honestly? There isn’t really one. I think the best you can do is expose yourself to various sources and apply a very, very, very high dose of skepticism to everything you read.
OK, that’s one really article that was in bad faith, but I would argue the topic has journalistic value. But it should have been more nuanced.
Does that make the entire bbc transphobic? I am in full support of trans rights (I have a gender fluid child), but not everything is 100% black and white (cfr gender ;)) , one bad article doesn’t make the entire bbc transphobic.
I gave it as one example, there’s dozens more articles like it. They’ve been pushing anti-trans articles for years at this point. And it’s been noted by LGBT media and others that entire time. Some examples:
Fair enough. Most articles are still about the original article, but it does seem the bcc (or at least the dinosaurs in control) has its own (shitty) trans agenda… .
Thanks for not attacking me, but giving actual info. Appreciate it.
I’ll certainly be more wary about the bbc in the future.
The BBC hasn’t been impartial for at least 20 years. Not only that, but they’re the most transphobic publicly funded institution in the UK.

Can you expand on that? They’re my main news source and I’ve never got transphobic vibes from them.
There is an absolute wealth of articles online about it, but here’s a couple points to get you started

Thanks for this. Really opened my eyes.
What are some more central/impartial news source for international coverage?
Honestly? There isn’t really one. I think the best you can do is expose yourself to various sources and apply a very, very, very high dose of skepticism to everything you read.
There’s an entire Wikipedia article on one of their more egregious cases, where they platformed a genocidal rapist cis lesbian who was claiming all trans women are rapists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22We%27re_being_pressured_into_sex_by_some_trans_women%22

Genocidal? They’re mass murdering a special group of people? How have I not heard of this person?
Don’t embellish the point. It completely undermines what you’re saying.
People who refuse to acknowledge forced sterilisation as genocide are genuinely some of the worst type of people.
I don’t think you should be sterilised but I do think you should stop being such an ignoramus.
Somebody is forcibly sterilising people? How have I not heard of this person?
Advocating for genocidal acts still makes one genocidal.
