Don't Let the BBC Get Away With It

Season 1
•

This is an unacceptable breach of journalistic objectivity - with potentially devastating consequences. In its coverage of Rishi Sunak's ascent to the premiership, the BBC declared that spending cuts - as well as tax rises - are inevitable. Both are political choices. If the government decided to increase taxes on the wealthy - as I set out here - then they could avoid spending cuts. If the BBC get away with this, they'll keep doing it - and soften up public opinion to protect the government from anger at unpopular cuts, because the electorate will decide they're inevitable.


Please complain to the BBC here - making it clear you're complaining about Nick Eardley's comments at 10:16 on the news channel - "The economic backdrop has changed: Mr Sunak is going to have to agree to spending cuts, and to tax rises" - which presented austerity as inevitable, rather than a political choice. https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints/make-a-complaint/#/Complaint
