Do you think the other presenters of other BBC programmes are on NMW? Do you not think that they have to pay the going rate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see his fellow pundits on MOTD are standing with him and not caving in to the tabloid frenzy. MOTD needs Lineker, it would be disastrous if they lose him.

I do believe it is, and has been, more-or-less as impartial as it's possible to be and certainly the most impartial, major news source in the World.

I do believe it is, and has been, more-or-less as impartial as it's possible to be and certainly the most impartial, major news source in the World. The left doesn't want it destroyed though? It wants it to stop being destroyed as it currently is by being what it should be - truly independent. Seems a bizarre way to frame it, particularly when as you touch on, the right wants it gone and is in the process of literally doing exactly that. The left has literally no power in this whatsoever. The BBC used to be much more impartial than it currently is, and was more impartial than most when it's actually covered events, but I don't think you can say that with a straight face about it anymore. They had Rishi Sunak mocked up in a graphic as Superman ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overton window and all that. Depending on who you're talking to, the Hard left is now perceived as either largely identity politics obsessives or literally just centrists.

It would be more interesting to see the viewing figures a month down the line if Lineker and his fellow pundits stayed off the show. But I already think the BBC must have realised they made a massive rick and will be desperately trying to find a way to bring him back or risk losing him to other channels.

Amir_9 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Bloke is perfectly entitled to airing his views on his social media as a citizen first and foremost as long as it isn't harming anyone directly, not that I agree with all of them. Shame can't say the same about the Tory government in its record for harming its own citizens. Edited March 10, 2023 by Amir_9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM1961 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Lineker has set himself up against BBC Management to see who has the biggest clout. Someone's got to lose face (and their job?). If I was BBC Management I'd cancel MOTD indefinitely, sack anyone who refused to fulfill their employment contract and save huge wages on Lineker, Shearer, Production, Commentators etc. Due to the mandatory license fee, the loss of viewing figures has no impact on income. Job done ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
