It’s actually refreshing that the two bosses resigned over this. Means it’s not just an empty apology followed by business as usual with no consequences.

The bulk of the issues mentioned in the article seem to fall into the "Why doesn't the BBC give equal time to both objective reality and my bullshit right-wing talking points?" category.

While I agree that the BBC did some shit that a news organization shouldn't have done, disproportionate coverage does not by itself imply bias - thinking otherwise is classic both-sides-ism.

So basically: you're equally biased and that means the BBC bias is fine.

Looool this is such bullshit. All of these things are the exact opposite of what's been getting on the air.
