What the petition asks
BBC news is completely biased and they actively hate the majority of the population. They have been engaged primarily in a social engineering agenda, rubbishing the electorate or whipping up hysteria rather than reporting the news. Remove their entire news team - they are beyond redemption.
With both Brexit and the Trump presidency the BBC has pursued a biased editorial agenda, and hidden wider truths behind petty arguments over trivial facts. It has failed to represent all sides of the debate and has selectively given prominence to some facts and not others.
The BBC should stick to making wildlife programmes. They are good for little else.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
