Unfortunately, the BBC has a questionable relationship with its current audience in its failed modernisation attempt to drive more clickbait-like articles.

Whilst being funded by the tax-payer and privileged enough to have a royal charter to be the UK state broadcaster which has a duty to be fair, impartial and balanced in its reporting, it has become one-sided in several debates siding with hard leftists, aggressively edits / cuts out recorded content (Not providing unedited recordings in full) and has a infatuation of posting irrelevant articles involving cringeworthy memes and young teenage millionaires giving financial business advice.

If this is the nonsense that you'd love to pay your taxes to, then cancelling that BBC TV license sounds like one of the best financial tips in order to save money each month.

There's plenty of people who think the current BBC, especially in flagship news (Today on BBC Radio 4) and current events (Question Time on BBC 1) takes a right wing position. See for example: https://twitter.com/search?q=bbc%20right%20wing&src=typed_qu...

I'd be interested to see if there's any research on actual bias.
