10 Times the BBC was Forced to Apologise 

Are you idiots just blind or totally brainless???? To not have the pedophile Jimmy S on the list is pretty pathetic. Top gear being anti American makes the list but covering up the actions of a pedophile doesn't....... you guys not mind pedophiles???

Where is the video about the BBC’s best moments

@Andy Ewing the bbc doesn't have any best moments unless your a brainless sheep happy to watch the absolute BS the bbc thinks people want to see

@@WhatDemocracy Where is my nuclear bomb

@Andy Ewing OK buddy 🐑 🐏 🐑 🐏

Did they actually apologise for this?

👍

@@brisingerfaelorn no.

I don’t think they ever apologised for it.

@@brisingerfaelorndtf

I was going to say TV licence

Then just don't pay it.

@@LThaPunisha I just don't understand why it's called a TV licence when it's just the BBC you pay for as other channels are paid for with advertising. Unless it's the BBC edging there bets, making people think they are paying for all channel's. Do they go to other country's and hound them, so what gives them the right to hound us.

i agree with YOUR point 100 per cent and if you don,t mind i repeated your good message again and added my own twist

None of you seem to understand that the tv licence is required to watch all tv channels as they are broadcast not just the BBC. The BBC just happens to be funded by the licence fee and you would still pay the licence fee even the BBC was no longer funded by it. It would just stay in the government coffers and used to fund the NHS instead and you'd all complain about that too!

The BBC weren’t in control of that coverage. Sports are always broadcast based on rights agreements with the organisers. The same thing happens all the time in cycling when the host broadcaster endlessly replays crashes and there’s nothing the commentary teams can do about it

@@JoeBleasdaleReal mightve considered cutting to commercials, shit...

@@JoeBleasdaleReal yes & no. They aren’t in control of the choice of cameras during the match, close ups, replays etc but they can cut away from the coverage whenever they like. As soon as it became clear how serious it was they should have cut back to the studio - just because other broadcasters felt another man’s fight for life was appropriate to live broadcast doesn’t mean BBC had to follow suit!

@@marycanary86 We don't have commercials on the BBC

@@portaltaker its a figure of speech. i know for a fact that you have ads for other shows on the network

@@timglennon6814 no

The tv licence fee is required to watch all tv channels actually not just the BBC.

That's not how I remember. They got huge criticism for that sketch

@@dannylad1600 if you're Mexican then I guess you were part of the small group that got offended. Sure it stirred stuff up in the media and with some diplomatic figures but pretty much all fans were laughing along them and the event increased interest in the show.

Interesting that you, obviously not Mexican, feel that you really have a say on what was and wasn't offensive about what they said.

@@CheshireKai13 interesting that you, knowing nothing about me can say that I'm "obviously" not Mexican. Please, tell what makes it obvious ?

It's for children.

You're hard

@@LThaPunisha Who likely hear swearing on the daily anyway, if not from parents naturally doing it then from friends, their parents, older siblings/extended families?

@@Roadent1241 No, not everyone's parents and friends swear.

@@LThaPunisha I know Not Everybody's do, but we seem to be getting to the point where it's the case XD I know not everybody's parents are old fashioned and 40 years older than their kids like mine XD That's not normal as fat as I can tell but hey.

What happened

@@AirQuotes Nothing. It was fine.

I agree, although to be fair for some of these when you are streaming live you may genuinely be embarrassed about something that slipped through and made it to air or embarrassed when someone bumped a button that brought the wrong thing up on the screen. In those cases I wouldn’t personally feel responsible for the content, and I wouldn’t appreciate being FORCED to apologize. Heck, I might even agree with some of the comments that slip through, but may agree they are comments that belong on nighttime TV, not on day time, mainstream news where parents are supposed to feel safe letting their young children watch. In those cases, I might mean the apology genuinely from a perspective of, “I’m sorry that slipped through in the wrong place.” I might even mean it from a, “I’m sorry I didn’t do my job, which is to make sure certain material only appears in nighttime TV or to thoroughly vet a program to make sure it’s factually accurate and doesn’t violate someone’s privacy or safety before it goes to air.” I might mean those apologies even if I don’t appreciate the force behind having to make them. On the other hand, I also think there’s a very good reason people force apologies. It’s not because they believe the apology or are ok with fake apologies. It’s because knowing they might have to make an apology forces people to take action. In our society, sadly people have many incentives to do inappropriate things and not take accountability for it. Lawyers insist people never apologize for anything because they are worried as soon as you apologize you are setting yourself up for legal liability and may have to pay a large financial settlement. If you are a fact-checker, there’s always the reality that you can claim to have checked a program for facts without ever even watching it. In other words, you can get paid for doing your job without actually having to do it. Or if you have an agenda, you can deliberately make a documentary full of lies and get BBC to air it putting that BBC stamp if approval, which ensures that a certain segment of the population is going to believe your lies are true. Or if you are horribly racist or bigoted, if you can get horribly racist or bigoted programming on the BBC it will look like the BBC officially endorses your position, and since the BBC is essentially funded by the UK government, if the BBC looks like it is endorsing a political viewpoint, it looks like the UK government and the UK people also endorse it. The point of demanding an apology is to balance all of these incentives. If you are a fact checker and don’t do your job so you can get paid for doing nothing, there’s a huge chance of something major slips through the BBC is going to have to make a public apology, and if they have to do that they may fire me. Suddenly, I have at least one incentive to actually do my job. If someone is horribly racist and lives the idea of putting racist content on the BBC to normalize racism and make it look like the BBC, UK government, and British people all endorse racism, they might think twice if they know the BBC will be forced to make a public apology and will likely fire them as part of that apology. Even if they don’t care, middle management might be more likely to take their job if vetting programs more seriously before they get to air, so the program might get made, but at least may never be seen. The public apology is primarily about getting people to take action before they get the apology. And second, it is at least a way of taking away that BBC endorsement, and this implied government and implied population endorsements from the material. It’s a way of saying, “Although there’s probably at least one person who still supports this content and isn’t sorry for creating it, there’s been enough of an uproar over this content that it is no longer accurate to say that the majority of people agree with this political position or believe the facts presented in this program are factually accurate.” Removing that implied endorsement of the content may not remove the content and may not take away its support from its core supporters, but it does matter to those people in the middle of society who take the fact that programming appeared on the BBC as a stamp of approval and quality, but who also take a formal apology from the BBC as removing that stamp of approval and quality.

@@reddwarfer999 Oooh Young Man...

difine funny .not every one was laughing it ok for top gear but what about the poor english he just represented who holyday there.

They insult Britain purely because they are jealous

Try being an American, we're basically the laughing stock of the world.

@@vixxxenfoxxx3660 I don't hate Americans

cos you lot probably used to enslave and exploit the people of those same countries lmao

Agree

There's a big difference between making a joke based on racial stereotypes aimed an entire country, and an individual. If the Top Gear crew had been taking the piss out of a Mexican celebrity, that would be one thing. Of course they couldn't because they would risk getting sued. But they took the piss out of ALL Mexicans based on a negative stereotype. Don't you feel a little offended when American's make jokes about Brits been royality-worshiping tea-totallers with bad teeth wearing beefeater costumes and talking with a cockney accent?

@@kirishima638 no i dont feel offended as some are very true i drink tea everyday and most british do and if someone is offended by a stereo type its probably true🤷🏻‍♂️ some things arent true imo but it doesnt bother me if they are true either has long as they take jokes to we can have a laugh but it also depends on the person as some people are more sensitive than others and have different sense of humour. If you dont like what they say dont listen to them is how i feel. Unpopular opinion by modern standards maybe but it is what it is. If we truly have free speech wether politically correct or not we should all be able to express without being cancelled. It is what it is though i probably have an unpopular opinion but im cool with that and cool with if others think the opposite.

@@Jazza_x_Vizionz hate speech is not free speech. And using terms like ‘getting cancelled’ is very toxic in itself. What you call ‘cancel culture’ I call progress and tolerance

@@kirishima638 free speech is free speech. If you class it has hate speech it is a form of speech but as they are free to express it they have free speech to say so whether hateful or not. Just as you have expressed your opinion on it but im not saying you are wrong or right as that is your opinion and your choice and only you choose your opinion. That is your opinion id call it a joke they dont hate mexicans or mexico as they are joking. If youre not british you wouldnt understand the humour as much if its racist or whatever to you cool its your opinion i respect that and leave it at that but you only want to tell me im wrong for my opinion🤷🏻‍♂️ i dont disagree as you have free speech just as i do and just as they do.

@@Jazza_x_Vizionz I am British. And I say again, free speech does not mean hate speech. You trying call a blank person the N word and see what happens. You try telling a woman to get back in the kitchen and see what happens.

she also later wrote a giant essay openly calling for the lynching of trans people real unbiased work at the bbc! they didnt include any comments from an actual trans person who they interviewed but just didnt include what they said, but a twitter poll of a group that is explicitly anti trans who's followers are mostly, people who dont like trans people, and a rapist who wants to murder them! but ig anything flies when you get to throw trans people under the bus is the rule of uk journalism rn

SNP, hows that working out for you with there years of BS since it's starting to unravel for them. You dont want to talk about that. No ok back back under your rock

His accent. And?

A few Examples please..

Just because of what? Not agreeing with some snowflakes or minorities, thus getting labelled by them as "anti {insert made up minority/group here}"? Grow a spine! No organisation can or should be expected to conform these demands including the BBC.

@@ErraticPT Funny, I thought of the BBC as being the snowflakes without spines.

​@@baboononskatesDo I really need an example? The BBC is a news organization owned and operated by a federal government. Most people agree that politicians can't be trusted; so then why trust news organization run by those same politicians that can't be trusted? You can't pluck a good apple from a rotten tree. They're going to be as unbiased as the politicians who run it.

if u paid attention you’d see that the Man U headline showed up on the ticker during the tennis match, the video matches

The BBC should apologise for misleading the public for years into believing she was titled Princess Diana which she never was or entitled to be called ut they still continue to disrespect her by using a title she never had
