Criticising BBC "too political"

from the department of subredditology


I am a latecomer to Reddit, enrolled in 2022, soft switched when Musk ruined Twitter. I read and contribute on several subreddits, mostly blamelessly, but the following comment was too much for the r/CasualUK mods:


I boycott the BBC. It has degenerated into a propaganda channel for the British government, and  can certainly no longer be wholly relied on.
I do still listen to radio-like programmes; but hardly ever what's broadcast by the Beeb. It's a big wide world out there. Shout out to Radio Garden

Keeping it twee

from the department of frank censorship


One obviously spends less time on Twitter since its degeneration into an unmoderated sewer.  I switched some of this freed attention into Reddit, which still manages to attract some light-hearted wit from contributors.

I quite like r/CasualUK for this, but yesterday I fell afoul of its "no politics" rule. So by the rules of this blog, the exchange appears here.
