Stop the BBC from marking their own homework. Cancel OFCOM's "BBC First" scheme.
It is a little known fact that, uniquely among UK broadcasters, the BBC get to evaluate their own complaints.
Within OFCOM this is called "BBC First".
This scheme allows the BBC to uniquely evaluate their own complaints which are increasingly rarely upheld.
It is unreasonable to have a system where the BBC mark their own homework.
They are increasingly joining in the culture wars and have appointed themselves arbiters of the truth through BBC Verify.
Their complaints should be evaluated on the same basis as the other broadcasters.
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:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about Ofcom's handling of complaints are a matter for Ofcom, which is operationally independent of the UK Government and Parliament.
