"IMO". So what if I just happened to not agree? What if I said that I would like to have Fox News or whatever since "it is about as impartial as you're going to get, IMO." Well, then I'm ****ed, because my channel would get censored out of the air. Because someone, somewhere, with guidelines, said that they were IHO biased, while the BBC is "as impartial as you're going to get IMO." Cool.
I happen to believe that the BBC, and in Germany "Der Spiegel", is biased, just like any outlet is, but I would be in arms if someone with
guidelines would want to
CENSOR them. People must be able to choose from a broad offering to form an educated opinion. The media must be held to account by checks and balances in a diverse media landscape, and by the people, not by
guidelines.
