0:00.0 | Tonight we talk about the progressive madness that is the BBC. |
0:09.7 | I'm roaming millennial and you're watching uncensored. Hey guys, welcome back. Today we're going to be talking about the BBC. On this show, |
0:31.0 | I've been quite critical of the mainstream media and the fact that they're really not as unbiased as they would have you believe and look. As a commentator I have no problem with people sharing their opinions about stories and providing their analyses trying to sway you toward their way of thinking. |
0:45.3 | That's fine. I mean, that's what I do. But my philosophy is if that's going to be your thing, |
0:50.4 | at least be up front about it. Don't hide behind the facade of, |
0:53.3 | oh I'm just a journalist, I'm impartial, |

1:30.9 | is that unlike CNN, unlike MS NBC, the BBC is state-funded. |
1:36.0 | When it comes to private companies, companies that handle their own fundraising, no matter how much I might dislike what they say or what they stand for at the end of the day. |
1:44.0 | It's their money and they can choose to spend it however they want. |
1:47.0 | But the BBC is funded with taxpayer dollars, or rather pounds, pounds, because British. |
1:53.2 | But, see, in the UK they have something called a TV license, |
1:56.7 | which every house that has a TV has to pay for. |
