“The BBC must uphold the highest standards of due impartiality in its news output,” we are told, as it reprimands #EmilyMaitliss.

Take the BBC’s daily use of anonymous “sources”, spinning a line on behalf of powerful people.
Take its business reporting, which is *completely* unbalanced, seldom allowing any critic a slot.
Take its daily use of lobbyists claiming to be independent observers (IEA, TPA etc).
Take its obsession with noise above signal, providing a massive platform for buffoons (Johnson, Farage, Rees-Mogg, Francois) because of the reaction they generate, thereby empowering them and radically changing our politics. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
