 📺🧨The BBC’s latest credibility implosion isn’t a scandal. It’s a feature. Apologies have been issued, heads have rolled — but the rot? Oh, it’s still very much at the top, wearing lanyards and drafting each other’s glowing exit statements. Samir Shah, Robbie Gibb, and the entire Editorial Guidelines Committee haven’t just overseen a mess — they are the mess.

🎭 BBC’s Ethics Committee: Now Featuring Special Guest “Bias!”

You know it’s bad when “fight like hell” gets sliced and diced into a propaganda smoothie, broadcast by what’s meant to be the world’s most trusted news source. This wasn’t a clumsy edit; it was a narrative hatchet job approved by so many people, you’d need a drone shot to fit the blame circle in frame.

Enter Samir Shah, the would-be savior of Auntie Beeb. He promised trust. What we got was corporate sudoku — strategic resignations here, a quiet statement there, all while pretending the real problem was a single overworked editor with Final Cut Pro. No, Samir. You’re not a lifeboat. You’re the captain rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic and calling it reform.

And Robbie Gibb? The human conflict-of-interest clause? Still on the committee guarding impartiality like a fox at a henhouse security briefing. His presence alone poisons the well — even if he’s not holding the editorial pen, he’s definitely handing out ink.

Then there’s the committee itself. The BBC’s supposed immune system. Right now, it’s looking more like a virus vector. Leaked memos talk about “systemic bias” — not from Reddit trolls but from internal advisers. If the BBC were a hospital, this would be the part where the ward gets condemned and the staff quietly transferred to “advisory roles.”

So here we are. A once-great public institution being slowly dry-cleaned by the very people who spilled the wine.
