I mean they're meant to be non-partisan, but if I recall, the Tories popped a bunch of high level execs in to skew things a year or three back.

Definitely not quite as impartial as it should be, and absolutely feels like the quality has dropped off since before the pandemic.

Cameron changed the rules of the BBC charter in 2015, and installed a load of Tory affiliated people. They first elevated Laura Kuenssberg to political editor, they then swapped the long time DG Tony hall for Tim Davie, someone affiliated with the Tories for decades. Then of course we had the Robert Sharp stuff with Boris. And we don't need to go into the drop in editorial quality.

The BBC is compromised

Jokes aside, it's fuckin criminal what the tories have done to this country.
