The Spin
Narrative A
The BBC has been perceived as biased by a variety of people. For instance, one poll showed that only one in 25 Jewish people were satisfied with the British broadcaster's coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Others have accused it of a "left-wing bias" since at least the 1980s. Some others have said it has a pro-establishment tilt. It's clear to all that a lack of neutrality is a widely accepted reality of contemporary BBC programming.
Narrative B
The BBC reaches around 400M people worldwide, and among these are audiences containing a wide political spectrum. Recent polling showed the BBC to score higher than any other news outlet in the UK when it came to "doing a good job," and Ofcom found that the broadcaster has maintained its reputation among most people for trusted and accurate reporting. Complaints concerning BBC's bias must be taken with a pinch of salt.
