00:00I think it's unbelievable. They make it sound like it was a mistake. Rather than two pieces

00:20of thing being spliced together, it's unbelievable. I think the biggest thing is that GB News,

00:28I think they broke it quite a long time ago, and the BBC has only just kind of come out now.

00:32They haven't been showing both sides of it. They certainly haven't been showing the bad

00:36commentary about Hamas, and have they been really biased as regards that? I think it's unbelievable.

00:45Trustworthiness, I'd only give them five, because it's really plummeted, and they haven't taken

00:51cognizance of the people high up in the organization. It's almost like they ignored them.

00:58I think the issue at hand is the fact that they misled the people about some reporting

01:08about January 6th with Trump. An act that the entire world knows he committed,

01:14he's complicit, he's fascist, he's a Nazi, and now they're capitulating to him.

01:18They've lost trust. I think their handling of the Gaza, not even Gaza, the genocide in Palestine,

01:29and the fact that Israel is a genocidal, maniacal, evil state, and the fact that they haven't covered it

01:40accurately, much like the Guardian, much like the New York Times, which are my trusted media sources.

01:45I'm 50. I grew up with them. These are the places that I went to, and I cannot longer rely on them.

01:56They had the best year ever with the traders. They've renewed sort of an appetite for consumption

02:02from young people, and this is nonsensical and minimal, and I don't understand why they had to

02:08resign. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

02:10I think it's a patrimony of humanity. There's probably no other organization in the world that's

02:20done more for education, that's done more to bring up information on parts of the world that most others

02:28wouldn't know. I think over the last few years, over the last 10-15 years, from the Tories to now,

02:35I think they live in a state of paranoia, and they're afraid of donors, and they're afraid of

02:40the power brokers, rather than really understanding what the public wants.

02:49We all know their bias. They go with whatever the government says, who have paid the most money.

02:54They're by no means impartial. They have their favorite parties, they have their favorite politicians,

02:59they have their favorite countries who invest, so.

03:08I'll give them a four. They're no GB News. You know, GB News is hardly a news station.

03:14So, but no, they've absolutely lost trust. I mean, even when I was younger, BBC was sort of

03:19the news station that you'd go to, at least for me, but over time, you know,

03:25yeah, they've just lost a lot of trust for me.

03:32I was shocked, like everyone else, by this horrific news. The BBC had betrayed his profession, journalism,

03:45and we feel sorry. He made the right decision to resign.

03:53Many, many, many issues. Gaza exposed many platforms, including PPC.

04:05It used to be in my father days, 10 out of 10. In my days, it's six or seven, maximum.

04:14I think it is his right. This guy, he, you know, humiliated his country. Great Britain

04:27is a respected country, and what has been done is unacceptable.

04:32In our region, we used to, you know, take BBC seriously. Now, we are skeptical, and,

04:44you know, we cannot trust any platform at the moment.

04:49We are credible.
