Launch a Public Enquiry into bias within BBC news and current affairs reporting.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Given the disquiet of the public in relation to bias within the BBC from both left and right of the political spectrum there are real grounds for concern that BBC current affairs coverage has ceased to objectively report news and now serves only to reflect the narrow views of a metropolitan elite.
