Yes - it's why the BBC has more listeners than any other worldwide news service.

Its journalistic standards are why hundreds of millions tune in, on every continent.

Those services peddling propaganda, lies and misinformation don't have that massive following.

Going on for decades, in dozens of languages - and heard daily in over 200 countries.[/quote]

A lot of people follow the BBC and have done for decades - yes I am aware of this.

This is because we used to have only the BBC and a couple of other channels. It is free beyond the licence fee. Ubiquitous. Historic. Habitual. I love a lot of the output too; dramas and nature programmes in particular. Though current affairs has sunk to the pits in recent years - Question Time unwatchable now.

But they have betrayed the trust in them. You talk about propaganda - BBC news may as well have been edited and presented by the Government since last March regarding Covid.

If their journalistic standards are [i]so[/i] low on this subject, I don't see how we can trust them on any other. And your repetition of viewing numbers does not address this question at all.[/quote]

I have said I rate many aspects of the BBC highly, just not now current affairs or news coverage - where they need to get their act together. Not sure where sport has come from; I haven't said anything about sport, and enjoy Match of the Day as much as anyone! - this thread has been about China and BBC news. I don't hold the media responsible for the consequences of Covid, which is a tiny percentage of people becoming seriously ill, and an even smaller percentage dying "with" it. Media has yes in my view massively hyped the risk of the virus and influenced the Government's response to the virus to devastatingly destructive ends.
emile	Well the hundreds of millions of regular BBC listeners don't seem to think their journalistic standards are low! But a minority view is acceptable. Just like many hate sports - like association football and cricket. But the followers of these games almost equate to the population of the world - so they must hold some attractions/have some merit. You (Wyot) don't rate the BBC and hold that the media is responsible for the consequences of covid. Again, some will disagree - and just like you, are fully entitled to their opinions.
