Over the past few years I’ve come to the late conclusion that the BBC isn’t only biased, but is a propaganda machine for British establishment: which is obvious when I think about it. BBC is enjoyable for entertainment but for “factual” narratives it’s purely propaganda. Sadly.

I don't actually think this is accurate. BBC has reported "genocide" and "war crimes" several times quoting others because that's what journalists do. Israel hasn't been convicted yet of war crimes so the BBC can't definitively call them that.

You can easily do a quick search for such articles.

I'm not sure whether it's the BBC's job to ascribe labels to actions. Report the facts, then let the people decide for themselves.

The BBC is always running scared of the right. Jenrick, Braverman, Patel, Mad Mel et al screaming antisemitism at them terrifies them.

As someone who grew up grounded in BBC impartiality, and always preferred BBC output to independent TV, I find the recent realisation that all is not how I believed it be incredibly disappointing.

BBC board is controlled by Israel through a complicit government .Israel propaganda Channel.

This is just a really stupid and frankly antisemitic comment, and I say that as someone who views the Israeli government's actions as war crimes.
