Impartiality Rant

“Honest, intelligent commentary. Goes to the media stories that other journalists are not paid to comment on. I particularly like the attempts to facilitate BBC impartiality; “no-one is impartial”. I believe that is true. Also, because we try and classify people as “black”, “BME”, “white”, etc..., everyone is racist. You can’t be impartial when it comes to your family and friends. Therefore an organisation which employs a person from school to retirement cannot change. I mean, come on, the BBC is the Civil Service. Masses of managers who are holier than thou!
As an old, white, poor male brought up by parents who refused to watch ITV because it allowed change, I say that the whole licence fee structure has to stop. The mere fact that the BBC exists continues to promote the class and ethnic structure in Britain. Creating a radio station called Asian doesn’t help. I listen to it occasionally because I like some Hindu music, but I feel that I’m doing something wrong because I shouldn’t listen to it because I’m white.
Watch programmes you want to watch and pay for it. As you cannot be impartial then don’t bother. The wonderful Naga Munchetty was a terrible traversty. How dare the BBC say anything other than what she said was right! Of course Trump is racist. He became President because he’s racist.
Brexit shows just how bad things are. The BBC tried to be impartial. They really did try, bless ‘em. But you cannot sit on the fence; you’re either for it or against it. There’s no supporting evidence to prove Brexit is good. It’s like God; you either believe or don’t.
The BBC has given many middle class people a great start in show business, but I’m not worthy to watch, or listen (but that’s a different story).”

“When I first started listening to the podcast, I found it fascinated and very informative. A sneak peek behind the currents into the shadowy world of UK media, almost like I was being let on into a secret. As with all UK media most of the commentators had their biases towards the left but I felt...”Read full review »

“The only decent UK podcast about the media industry. Recommended. Olly Mann is is excellent but it would be good to also hear from John Plunkett from time to time. Also, some fluff about what's new on TV this week would be great.”Read full review »

“Love Ollie Mann anyway so I may be biased to this show but I enjoy it very much. Only small gripe is sometimes the guests/Mann forget to contextualise or put things in laymans terms for non-media insiders.”
