Got so pissed off with BBC football reporting I complained regarding 10 out of 14 of the first 14 articles being Man United based. I was very scathing and did not mention I was a City fan, just said what about all the other clubs. I intend to follow up with complaints every time I see such bias.
This was the reply.
Thank you for contacting us regarding coverage on the BBC Sport website.
Impartiality is a core value of the BBC, and this is one reason why we believe our news and sport coverage is trusted and respected around the world.
We apply this principle to our reporting of all issues and topics. The BBC is of course independent of any political or commercial interests, and our news agenda would never be influenced by any outside organisation, or in this case, football club.
Ultimately, we know that not everyone will agree on what stories we should cover, how we should cover them, and to what extent. These are complex decisions that our news editors put a great deal of care and consideration into, based on the editorial merit of all the stories at hand on any given day.
We regret that you are unhappy with the level of coverage dedicated to Manchester United on the BBC Sport website, and please be assured we have noted your concerns.
All that being said your feedback is highly valued. All complaints are sent to senior management and the team at BBC Sport for review, and we’ve included your points in our daily overnight audience feedback report.
These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the company and ensures that your concerns have been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future content.
Thanks again for taking the time to get in touch.
Kind regards,
Abbie Crawford.
