Identity obsessed extremism

BBC 'news' is the epitome of identity obsession, and divisive identity politics. Any collection of people to whom the BBC may apply a suitably divisive label is subject to extensive and monotonous coverage, and repeated and obsessive promotion of victimhood. How utterly demeaning for anyone who should happen to be somehow identified and labelled by the BBC's department of social division. This sort of behaviour is corrosive to the very fabric of our society, is thoroughly discriminatory, and is deeply insulting and offensive. Coverage of what is really happening in the world is now virtually non-existent. How many reports from BBC correspondents do we ever see from abroad? How much verification of claims from our own government do we actually get? Does the BBC even try to hold our own government to account for their arms sales to, and support for some of the worst regimes in the world? The lazy focus of the BBC seems only be on obtaining special rights of minorities, ignoring anyone who disagrees, and stoking division in society that never existed before - whether that be along race or gender lines. Every single day, the BBC 'news' website has an assortment of different articles emphasising race, gender, and victimhood for various groups. The BBC should stick to reporting on real events that are happening around the world, not 'storm in a teacup' nonsense that is only important to upper middle class elitist woke people, who have probably never even met any of the people they spend so much time labelling. As someone with strong views on the need for social justice, I can not longer abide the divisive nature of BBC 'news' content, and will not be participating in further funding the BBC. This is sad, because in the current climate, a credible alternative to the UK's vile right wing media is sorely needed. Unfortunately, however bad the right wing media may be in the UK, I simply can not tolerate any more of this type of identity obsessed garbage from the BBC.
