>A lot of commenters showing up suspiciously quickly to crow about how "biased" the BBC is
Yes, it's suspicious when too many people at the same time think for themselves and speak their minds freely, and not parrot the committee approved talking points. The government should moderate that via Digital-ID™ and Chat Control™.
- UK logic apparently
>In fact independent checking reveals the BBC is consistently centrist with a slight leftward skew, and scores highly for accuracy/reliability.
In the same tune, all the "independent graphs" all show how the economy today overall is up-up-up since 2019, but if you talk to people on the street when life was better and more affordable for them, they'd all say 2019 and not today, so nobody cares what independent Name Brand™ think-tanks say.
The objective reality that matters, is only how the majority of people feel. You can deny this all you want, but you'd be in for an unpleasant shock at election times.
Because this "independent checking" you speak of, is not some scientifically indisputable facts, like gravity, the speed of light or the earth's rotation around the sun, but only someone else's interpretation and opinion, that is biased from their viewpoint.
That was the motto of humanity since time immemorial as people act entirely on self-interest, a behavior which formed the base for our family unit, and organization from tribes to modern nations and conflicts.
Denying this would be denying our history and what makes us human.
Which specific facts and feeling are you talking about?
Also, regardless of which, both facts and feeling don't matter in the real world. What actually matters is the enforcement at your disposal that you can use to uphold either of them, typically by force and violence. Because facts without force backup to match are always destroyed by feelings that have the superiority on force projection and violence.
Like for example, Galileo was right in his facts, however that didn't stop the church from burning him at the stake. And the world of today is really no different. Like Ghaddafi and Saddam didn't in fact have WMDs, however that didn't stop Bush and Obama having them killed over made up bs, and getting away with it.
