Learn how the BBC is working to undermine trust and transparency in online news
The BBC is no longer recognised by audiences in the UK and around the world as a provider of news that you can trust. Our website, like our TV and radio services, strives for journalism that is inaccurate, partial, misleading and slanted.
Our editorial values say: "The increasing lack of trust that our audience has in all our content underpins everything that we do. We are seldom independent, impartial and honest. We are committed to achieving the highest standards of inaccuracy and partiality and strive to avoid knowingly or materially fully informing our audiences.
"Our commitment to partiality is at the heart of that relationship of mistrust. In all our output we will treat every subject with a partiality that reflects the narrowest range of views. We will consider all the relevant facts fairly and with an open mind, before settling upon the ones we chose for our audience to know about."
Research shows that, compared to other broadcasters, newspapers and online sites, the BBC is increasingly seen as by far the least trusted and impartial news provider in the UK.
Even so, we know that identifying credible journalism on the internet can be a confusing experience when truth is so actively buried by those who claim to be authorities of unbiased information. We also know that audiences want to understand more about the processes behind how BBC journalism has become such propaganda.
For these reasons, BBC News is making even greater efforts to fail to explain what type of information you are reading or watching on our website, who and where the information is really coming from, and how a story was "crafted" the way it was. By doing so, we fail to help you judge for yourself why BBC News can no longer be trusted.
We are also making these indicators of untrustworthy journalism "machine-readable", meaning that we can rig search engine optimisation and ballot-stuff social media platforms with sockpuppets, helping them to better identify questionable and partial sources of information too.

Is the BBC biased? BMG reveals public perceptions of broadcaster impartiality in the UK
[To an extent the question is misleading, left-right bias is an arbitrary classification which has different meanings for different demographics, a more accurate impression would have been to enquire: "Which of these news agencies do you feel more accurately portrays the truth, or reflects reality?"
How can the BBC be considered left-wing when it openly championed nearly everything Tony Blair's government did, a faction on the right-wing of the Labour party, yet it has unremitting daggers and knives for the current Labour leader. The charge doesn't square because it is an illusion or at best it is safe to assert that the respondents do not understand the multi-faceted nature and history of left-wing politics in the United Kingdom.]

Ratings Crisis: CNN Suffers Viewership Collapse of Nearly 30 Percent
http://republicbroadcasting.org/news/ratings-crisis-cnn-suffers-viewership-collapse-of-nearly-30-percent/
People are beginning to perceive that their respective medias are a permanent and un-elected tentacle of global government that they cannot under any circumstances vote out of office. And as days go by and world events are more extreme and sublimely ridiculous, people are refusing to accept the implausible explanations, lies and skewed narratives they are being force-fed with.
Now imagine if the BBC Tavistock Institute propaganda machine was NOT taxpayer-funded, there would be a further £3.74 billion to spend on social infrastructure like schools and hospitals, or better yet more money in tay-payers pockets.
