What the petition asks
A recent OFCOM investigation found widespread and irrefutable evidence of huge bias in news and political discussion programming even though the summary contradicted these findings.
Prevent the BBC from broadcasting or producing any news, political discussion or current affairs programs or any transmissions of any genre that proffer a biased opinion.
The BBC must maintain neutrality at all times and this is especially important now in the already divisive climate created by Brexit. BBC bias is fuelling the fire of discontent.
EU funding must be examined.
Please refer to the published OFCOM report.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because this would be the responsibility of the BBC and Ofcom which are independent of the UK Government and Parliament.
