The BBC Must Be Mutualised to End Its ‘Pro Establishment Bias’ Warns Report

It finds that BBC reporting is overwhelmingly focused on the concerns of senior politicians and business people around Westminster, rather than the country at large. The BBC must be “mutualised” in order to end its “pro-establishment bias” a new report has found. The Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is currently exploring “mutualising” the BBC in order to make it democratically accountable to the public. Under the plan the corporation would become effectively owned and held accountable by its license fee payers. A new report, which is published by the thinktank Common Wealth and the Media Reform Coalition, calls for the BBC to be mutualised from 2027 when the government is required to renew the corporation’s Royal Charter, in order to end what it describes as its “pro-establishment bias” arguing that “BBC news reporting is driven by the statements and actions of leading politicians, state officials, and sources from business and finance. As a result, the BBC presents a narrow range of, and exhibits a lack of balance, on important political issues” the report states. The report states that the BBC’s reporting “has reflected the interests of the UK state, rather than assuming an impartial position” on issues like Israel’s genocide in Gaza, as well as a general orientation of political coverage towards Westminster rather than the effects of decisions on the country as a whole. The report suggests that this bias stems partly from the BBC’s funding model leaving it unwilling to challenge the Government, on which it ultimately relies for financial security. They argue “In its current form the BBC has been unable or unwilling to address the often-contradictory claims of its critics and to assess their relative merits. The organisation that emerges under the new Charter must be able to do so, and in a manner that secures the respect of those who fund it”. https://bylinetimes.com/2025/05/14/th...
