Stop all state / tax payer / license fee funding of the BBC.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

As a publicly funded corp the BBC should be neutral in its reporting. However it is deeply politicized and continually displays political/social bias across all its content. As such it should privately fund its self as any other politically bias network would and no longer receive public funding.
500 characters is insuffient to provide the supporting examples. In short, when interviewing political candidates the BBC employ subliminal/psychological tactics to present candidates they do not approve of in a negative light. BBC website articles are written with a political / social bias. They display an ideological bias and agenda within their light entertainment, have a history of scandals, are niether fair nor balanced, but deeply politically motivated. Examples available on request.
