The regular service broadcasts I mentioned are rather more than ‘a few Christian songs’....plenty of prayers, Bible readings and and homilies also. Unfortunately blanket statements about ‘BBC bias’ on this, that or the other subject tend to assume that the BBC is just its News & Current Affairs output. In fact news programmes are only a small part of what the BBC does. There’s a tendency to assume that when a particular opinion is voiced on the BBC it somehow represents an ‘official’ BBC point of view - when in fact the BBC carries a wide range of often contradictory opinions. Personal biases of individual editors or producers certainly become apparent in some programmes...but that’s very different from a deliberate and conscious bias on the part of the whole Corporation.
You’ll find anti-Christian sermons incorporated in “nature documentaries” and “soap operas” as well. The said report was filled out by thousands of Brits (within and outside the BBC).
BBC viewers and staff have complained about anti-Christian bias. I’ve lived in England and witnessed it firsthand. BBC heads happily promote anti-Christian views and also admit that they’d never tolerate similar anti-Koran messages.
It infects their whole culture. Even when
Christian “sermons” and “songs” are tolerated they’re often feminized, to serve liberal-leaning Christians.
Feel free to move to England and speak to BBC employees.
The thing is that the Beeb’s news is what is projected to the rest of the world.
