What a day for the #BBC yesterday
Lost all their #MOTD presenters after @GaryLineker wouldnโt apologise for criticising the government (read that again!๐ฑ)
And while that was obviously the big story, their bad day didnโt end thereโฆ.

They announced theyโd wouldnโt be airing the final episode of the latest #Attenborough series on TV for fear of a โRight Wing backlashโ
WTF?
It will go out on iPlayer where the poor snowflakes wonโt see itโฆ.

Then we had the statement about why #FionaBruce felt the need to clarify it was a โone offโ when #stanleyjohnson put his wife in hospital๐ฑ
Yes, she was quoting one of their friends and not expressing her own opinion, but of all the things to ensure they clarified..?

Finally, an apology for NOT clarifying on air that Nadine Dorries was making unfounded, absurd claims when she was interviewed about #SueGray.
They were happy to let those accusations go unchallenged, but needed to add โbalanceโ by pointing out SJ only beat his wife once!

I really want to support the BBC
Even more so because the government are so keen to shut it down (God knows why!)
I do hate the inherent right wing bias under the cover of โimpartialityโ but I try and give them the benefit of the doubt

But oh my God do they make that hard when they:
โSilence govt critics
โRefuse to air a show that might offend Right wing watchers (an Attenborough nature program FGS!)
โDefend a Tory wife beater
โFail to correct spurious accusations made by a Tory MP

I really hope there are some serious emergency meetings taking place today after the shocking day they had yesterday
But given all the high level posts are held by well known Tories and Tory donors, I wonโt hold my breath
Please, please #BBC, do better for all our sakes.๐ข

Iโm being accused of lying with this thread. As far as I can tell the issue is with the Attenborough tweet.
The Guardian report what senior BBC sources have said.
The BBC are denying thatโs the reason. Although they donโt really give a reason why they couldnโt broadcast it.

I donโt know which is โthe truthโ. Only the BBC and those senior sources do.
It was a 5 part series with a 6th part made by the same people but not commissioned by the BBC. However the BBC acquired it and chose to put it on iPlayer.
But I hope this clarifies things.
