Chinese observers said the BBC has turned into "a rumor mill" that deliberately throws mud at China, and the decision to suspend its broadcast sends a clear message that China doesn't accept fake news.

    exactly. also, like why does the fact that they have done a handful of decent things like hiring poc reporters absolve them of their hand in imperialist propaganda?

    I'm happy they're proud of the bbc, i'm happy they've had a good experience with it, no one wants to take that away. but let's be adults and recognize that our countries and their institutions have some blood on their hands that we should hold them accountable for.

      Yeah 100%. Honestly I like the BBC, it has decent reporting sometimes, despite its propaganda and horrific official anti-trans stance. Obviously I'm comparing it to other msm here.
