Many people are very critical of the BBC. Bearing that in mind what are your thoughts on Talk TV ? |  | | |  |

29M watched the funeral on TV in the UK. |
It was on every side as well as the BBC.
If you think 29m people willingly sat and watched a funeral then i have a bridge to sell you.
If it was pay per view than there would have been about 73. [Post edited 27 Aug 2023 18:38]

29m people chose to sit and watch something on TV when they could have done pretty much anything else instead. Gone for a walk. Read a book. Put Netflix on.
Contrary to what loonies like Kilks would have you believe, watching stuff on TV is not mandatory in the UK. That's reserved for places he no doubt thinks are just spiffing, like North Korea. |  |

The BBC have the World Service. The BBC World service Facebook page in Turkish presents the UK to the World 600m Turkish speakers as "ingiltere". This means England. From the French "Angeltere".
As far as Turks are concerned UK and England are the same and they prefer to call UK England. Google auto translate has to determine in the algorithm whether Turks are actually talking about England or UK. It is quite complex when talking about the NHS for example because it is a devolved matter.
I have e mailed them and contracted the Facebook page but with no reply. Turkish policy is a policy of assimilation. Kurdish activists working for democracy are jailed. Osman Kavala for example. Clearly totally innocent.
For the BBC of all people to dance to the Turkish policy of assimilation and pretend that Scots Welsh and Irish do not exist is morally bankrupt. I suspect BBC Turkce is run by Turks with a dozy Brit overseeing.
I have e mailed the new head of Plaid Cymru to see if he is of any substance. [Post edited 27 Aug 2023 21:00]

Yes you are right. I over egged it by quit a bit actually.
I do not know where I got 600m from. Probably around 120 million in TC, Kazakstan, Iran, Germany and other Turkic states like Turkmenistan. | |

Kilky, 73....there were probably 73 people just in my street who'd have watched it. It is quite a long road mind, with a lot of over 50's.
We hardly watch live tv besides breakfast but Im out of the door at 06.40 so I don't watch much, but, it is BBC breakfast. | | | |

I can't remember when I last watched the BBC. I listen to BBC Radio in the car occasionally, the journalism seems to have merged into opinion. |
I long since quit watching BBC Wales .
Too many pitifully amateur reporters with too strong Gog accents

People are critical of the BBC for many things. One of them is that it is, apparently, left wing and therefore not balanced politically.
Other stations like Talk TV, who are extremely critical of the BBC, have been created to be balanced (as far as I understand it). There's no point to them otherwise. If they criticize the BBC for this there's no point if they do the same.
Some of the presenters are okay but some are so bad it's hard to understand the logic of employing them. Take Mike Graham. He has said so may silly things and made so many plainly incorrect statements I find it baffling that he is employed as a broadcaster.
If you watch political programmes on the BBC they appear to me to be pretty failry balanced. They usually have left wing and right wing people being interviewed and both are given equal air time. If you watch Fiona Bruce on Question Time (who has herself been much criticised) she gives a pretty balanced airing to all of the panel. And if one of them says something that is simply wrong she points it out.
One particular story regarding Mike Graham has just stuck in my mind for some reason. A lady named Connie from Yorkshire (sad that I remember isn't it) rang in to criticise the governments efforts on the immigration problem. She was scathing about them.
But she also said that Labour would be even worse if they were elected. She said that Labour policy is for completely open borders on immigration and that all those immigrants would go to the head of the queue for housing, that is ahead of British people.
Any decent broadcaster who cared anything for the truth would have come back on this and said this was simply untrue. But not Mike Graham. He said simply 'thanks very much Connie, good call' or one of his other stock responses.
It is disgraceful that someone who is so utterly unable to provide some semblance of truth and balance is able to allow lies like these to be broadcast nationally. | | | |

Importantly though it seems to have fallen flat, which shows we’re nowhere near as far down the rabbit hole as the US.
Imagine having to choose your own news, whether it’s Newsmax on one side or MSNBC on the other?
The BBC isn’t perfect but as close to fair as you can have. It’s noticeable that whichever party is in power hates it and is convinced it’s out to get them. |
It's not close to fair, it's pro union, pro royalty and right wing the Beeb asked experts at a Welsh university a few years ago to look at it to see if it was biased and they found they were giving twice the amount of coverage to the Conservatives as they were Labour, pro bosses over workers, pro union over independence (Scotland), pro Israel over Palestine etc etc, it wasn't just the amount of coverage they were giving one side over the other it was also the positive and negative language they used when covering stories, they would also not cover or barely mention some newsworthy stories if it made their 'causes' look bad.

No Welsh experts looked at the Beeb and the British Broadcasting Corporation are right wing, God Save the Queen, little Englander types, but I always knew that, I always thought that, it was obvious to me, I seen their coverage of General Elections, the troubles in the North of Ireland, World events etc over the years and they are big time right wing, powerful people who own newspapers, media outlets etc are playing a game in trying to suggest they are left wing to try and force them to be even more right wing, it's a game with them and we now have a society that is moving more and more to the right, health, education, infrastructure, welfare system, taxes, housing, workers and bosses pay, it's got to the stage where the two main political parties in the UK are both right wing yet these powerful people with influence will suggest that one of the two main parties are Communists, it's a joke and the public have been conned by the elite who want low taxes, low pay for their workers and more and more money in their own pockets. | |

You don't have an agenda? Well you fooled us all then. We all had ou pegged as a pretty far left Welsh nat, the kind who thinks Communism a good idea.

Those are your words on the thread about who do we vote for.

It’s difficult to judge the bbc as a whole entity because it’s so vast and churns out so much content. But it is undoubtedly true that the overwhelming majority of “stars” who ultimately are the faces of the Beeb are of a significantly left persuasion.
Also just a five minute cursory glance at any comedy/panel show commissioned by the beeb in the last ten years will see you plummet into a hideous echo chamber where a veritable smorgasbord of left wing comedians heartily slap each other on the backs and guffaw manically as they make yet another joke about brexit or Donald trumps hair. |  |
