Still, covering a white male actor doing something is unusual in itself, the BBC normally only covers showbiz things now with a "diversity" angle...

The BBC was left stunned after a confidential internal survey revealed that it employs more than 400 transgender staff - four times higher than the proportion in the population at large. The 417 employees, which represents more than one in 50 of its total workforce, was described by the executive behind the research as “very, very high”.

Following the findings, the BBC’s Director of Diversity Tunde Ogungbesan has launched a major reform to make the Corporation even more “trans-friendly”. He also revealed that 11 percent of BBC employees were lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), but said he still did not consider the Corporation to be diverse enough!!! Cry

Almost a quarter of its 21,239 staff declined to reveal their orientation and from the remainder, 2.2 percent said they were bisexual, 4.8 percent were gay men and 1.3 percent lesbian. Mr Ogungbesan said the BBC wants eight percent of its staff to be from the LGBT community by 2020.

"Go on then, name ONE SINGLE TV STATION from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD which is better than the BBC."

What a stupid question given the primary experience of 95% of chit chatters is going to be virtually entirely UK TV.
It's like asking an italian in the 1600s to name a better food than his parochial Italian food. How many chit chatters watch Dutch RTL or Das Erste?

The BBC USED to be good but that has long since changed, it's now a SJW channel constantly trying to influence us into their beliefs.

But even then, there are plenty of channels even on freeview I watch more than the BBC.
E4, ITV2, Yesterday, Film4, C4 (when it's not current affairs which is even more ridiculously left wing than the horrendous BBC).

I'd love it if I could watch the other channels and opt out of paying the smug pocket lining agenda pushing w*nkers in the BBC and not watch it, and I speak for many millions. The BBC, where you are paid 600k year to read a teleprompter some nights a week.

Even from the start the left wing skeleton who presents it started with bias. He introduced the show with something like
"american is having a fight between a womans testimony being believed and a mans right to innocence before being proven guilty".
How biased is that, it leans towards the woman. It is trying to go with the current hyseria that woman should always be believed and to not do so is sexist, and that he is only innocent due to some technical presumption, as if presumption of innocence is now a bad thing.

An accurate statement would be:
"... between a womans testimony being believed and a mans testimony being believed"

2) Press the Control Key (marked ctrl) and C together, this will copy the highlighted text.
