Ex-BBC journalist: ‘Corporation has eroded Christian culture’

Robin Aitken, who worked at the BBC for 25 years, collected evidence of its bias which he sent to BBC’s Director-General, and later published.

In a scathing assessment he said: “The BBC along with its media and establishment allies, has become the vehicle for the propagation of a series of lies in pursuit of a political agenda.”

‘Obsessed’

In an interview with academic Dr Jenny Taylor, Aitken said the BBC subsequently “came along and offered me this handsome pension” to force him out, aged 50.

In response Aitken wrote “Can we trust the BBC?” and “The Noble Liar: How and why the BBC distorts the news to promote a liberal agenda”.

He believes the BBC’s agenda is “deeply hostile” towards social conservatism and is “obsessed with identity politics”.

Dr Taylor said the BBC, in Aitken’s view, has “become an apostate, has lost her religion and now champions progressive causes, refusing to air debates on pornography, censorship, abortion, you name it.”
