This started off as just a bias towards Brexit. The way they adopted government posture after the referendum.
And ever since then their ability to provide information has been fatally crippled.

The BBC with all their money, what exactly do we pay them for when I've been able to give more consistently accurate information than they have for the last three years?

For the last two years I told you that there would never be a withdrawal agreement because there is nothing that will pass both the European Union and Parliament.

And I told you in the absence of an agreement Theresa May would be forced to resign.

So who turned out to be right? Me with an internet connection, or all the thousands of journalists at the BBC with a budget of hundreds of millions?

But the point is I'm not clever. I think I've demonstrated that just lately if nothing else.

If the truth was so readily available that all you needed was an internet connection, then it must have been equally available to the BBC.

So why did the BBC miss the fact that Theresa May could not get anything through parliament and would be forced to resign?

Because they made the mind-bendingly stupid decision to adopt government posture.

See, the BBC crippled itself three years ago when it decided to adopt the referendum result as their totem and religion.

And ever since adopting that posture they have been forced into an ever more demented insistence because they can see it failing.

For all the reasons we've known for the last two years, Brexit is failing. The government and prime minister that held the referendum has long gone.
And now the government and prime minister that tried to execute the referendum result has also gone.

We will now be on the third prime minister who has tried to deal with the referendum.

Cameron lost it and resigned. May tried to enact it and resigned.

How many more will it take to get it into the heads of the BBC that this policy might never work?

And this is where political posture is crippling the BBC's ability to produce valid news.

The withdrawal agreement has been voted down three times, and the prime minister who negotiated it has been forced to resign.

Those are facts.

So the BBC gets a complete fruitflake - Caroline Flint - to come on TV and repeat all the same crap that Theresa May has been babbling for two years.
The deal The deal. We have to vote for the deeeeeeeeeeeeeeal.

I mean, this won't fucking do, will it?

Brexit has become completely deranged. Everyone still arguing for it sounds insane because it's not possible to argue for it without divorcing yourself from reality.

It's time for the BBC to adopt another posture.

They have to accept that the withdrawal agreement can't get through parliament - SIT DOWN, Flint - and Europe will not offer another.

By that logic we either leave with nothing or not at all.

And in the end we're going to stay in the European Union because we can't afford to leave. That's the reality.

And eventually the BBC is going to have to explain to people why is it all the money they spend, all the journalists they've got, managed to come up with the wrong answer and stay wrong for three solid years.
