Mr Brigo

'What has the BBC said to attack the critics?'

The BBC itself ?

Probably nothing.

Quite rightly as a mature organisation it has defended itself not attacked its opponents.

I'm beginning to feel a little sorry for the BBC (if such a sentiment can be applied to an institution or organisation).

Firstly it takes it from the 'right' for its supposed negative attitude towards and in one instance fictitious reporting of Trump quotes and also for having a leftish bias.

Now the attack is coming in from the left -

"MP says Kelvin MacKenzie BBC interview 'an insult'"

'A Liverpool MP has urged the culture secretary to speak to the BBC about its decision to interview Kelvin MacKenzie over the resignation of director general Tim Davie and news chief Deborah Turness.

Labour's Ian Byrne called the decision to include Mr MacKenzie "a grave error of judgement" and an "insult" to the survivors of the Hillsborough disaster in an official letter to Lisa Nandy

Mr MacKenzie was editor of the Sun newspaper in 1989 when it ran its notorious 'The Truth' headline, falsely accusing fans of causing the stadium crush which killed 97 people.

The BBC has said he was interviewed as part of a news package which "sought a range of views from people across the media industry".

Byrne, who represents West Derby, said he was writing the letter to express his "profound concern".

Obviously no 'right-winger' should be given air time.

And why should the Government get involved ?

We are not living in a totalitarian state and the BBC is not Tass.

I thought everyone was calling for un-biased balance in its output.

'Leftish' views and 'rightist' views.

It must be getting something right ! 😉
