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?
The issue is...who's providing the mass left wing media anchor there for radicalisation?
The Guardian? The Morning Star? Philosophy Tube?
Don't get me wrong, loving the BBC being in the finding out stage. But even though it was always at best the Civil Service's way of fucking over any government it didn't like, Murdoch has essentially chosen every PM for the last 4 decades, and giving his system even more power isn't a good situation
