Make the BBC news politically balanced.
All news on the BBC has a left wing bias. It is funded by the public. Half the population is not left wing. The public is not being represented.
The BBC is global and can be seen to represent Britain. Well it doesn't represent me.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The BBC is already required to deliver impartial news by the "Royal Charter for the continuance of the British Broadcasting Corporation" and the "Agreement Between Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and the British Broadcasting Corporation". It is therefore unclear what further action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
In any case, we would not be able to accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The BBC Trust is responsible for investigating breaches of the BBC Charter, which includes complaints about the impartiality of the BBC.
