Ensure the BBC continues its neutrality
The aim of this petition is to enforce the neutrality of the BBC and remove biased reports such as Chris Packham.
Countryfile is watched by an average of over 5 million viewers.In the BBC’s words, Countryfile is ‘the people the places and the stories making the British countryside’. However the ‘impartial' BBC continue to employ Chris Packham, who is known to be an ‘anti’ toward countryside pursuits, which account for over £2 billion towards the British economy and are enjoyed by over 600,000 people.Surely if the BBC is as neutral as it claims to be, the extreme views of Packham should not be tolerated?

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There are no plans to change the requirement for the BBC to report impartially, so we're not sure what you would like the Government or Parliament to change. You can find out more about the BBC's editorial guidelines here:
