Come on BBC- since when are driving instructors a profession? Perleese! BBC journalists will start calling themselves a profession soon.

Anyone else noticed how Chris Mason labels anyone who voices an opinion that's vaguely to the left of his (98% population I'm guessing) an "activist"

Chris Mason misled the country, then.

So much for all that bleating about being misled by the Treasury from the BBC's political editor Chris Mason .....

I honestly can’t get my head around anyone saying the BBC is left wing. I mean have they watched Laura K or Chris Mason? Ridiculous.

Chris Mason has openly told viewers (BBC News at One) his personal view of Rachel Reeves. I do not watch the News and pay a licence fee to listen to the view of a man I don’t have any respect for. I want to form my own opinions and I’m quite capable of doing so. He overstepped the mark.

Chris Mason: Why, in my judgement, Reeves was misleading on one specific point The Chancellor chose not to share some information on tax receipts in an unusual press conference, given before the Budget.

Thread 1/2

In my judgement, Chris Mason is a powerful symbol of how far the BBC has fallen ...

Why has Chris Mason not been fired. He looks to me like he’s broken the so called impartiality rules of the BBC on several occasions.

All of us: Why, in our judgement, Chris Mason is misleading on most political points, all the time.

Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

I wish Chris Mason would sometimes do things one would expect a journalist to do.

Indeed. This is not the BBC's job and to make it worse, in the same piece, Chris Mason again lurches into opinion and gives government carte blanche when he absolutely should not have!

Has Chris Mason ever called Badenoch ‘deeply deeply unpopular’ or reported on the extraordinary poll that if there was a general election now, theTories would win just 14,seats?
Just asking

FWIW, I do know Robbie Gibb, having met him almost 30 years ago when he was working for the Tories & always quite liked him. But the claim by this self-identifying “Thatcherite” to be a completely impartial BBC arbiter is as ludicrous as me claiming I’m not partial towards Labour.

‘A leading pollster has suggested that support for Reform UK has “topped out”, and that the momentum that was carrying the party up in the polls has ground to a halt’
Yet BBC Mason says the momentum is with Reform.
Which is it?

Thank god there wasn't a BBC #Germanycast in the early 1930s when a Justin Webb figure could have excused the 'excesses' of the government there whose crackdown on dissidents was presented as an administration 'honouring its promises' made before the election of 1933. #r4today

BBC Bosses Draw Up Plans to Win Over Reform Voters by Changing News and Drama Output The Director General Tim Davie and other executives discussed altering BBC “story selection” in order to secure the "trust" of supporters of Nigel Farage’s party

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?
All the shifts are in just one direction.

Absolutely. His one sided articles compromise his role on R4 Today. We switch him off

As I've been grumbling about certain BBC presenters, it's important to say that correspondents like Jeremy Bowen, Lyse Doucet and Steve Rosenberg continue to not just deliver the finest reporting and analysis but push back against daft questions. It's such a relief to hear them instead of [redacted]
