A massive struggle session has appeared in the UK left with arguments over defending the BBC or not now that it has been announced that the tv license might be gone by 2027.
The factions seem to be:
A "But it makes good entertainment and documentaries and music and puts lgbt people in shows"
B "Yeah but none of that has anything to do with the extreme political harm it clearly does".
I am in faction B and have no idea how to get through to the first faction. Libs obviously also support the first faction.
I assume Hexbear being anti-treats lately would also be in faction B but could be wrong.
What are your thoughts on the topic overall?
I see no real reason to fight for the survival of the BBC as a leftist, like yeah it might have some negative effects that it dies but what are you gonna do? Fight to get it back from the brink of death only for it to slander you as deeply as is respectably possible?
Public Television is for boomers anyway. All the cool kids are cord cutters.
"Public services are for boomers, all the cool kids like privatization."
Commercial TV most definitely for boomers as well.
