BBC Accused of Rural Bias: 'Metropolitan' Coverage Criticized
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
The BBC faces criticism for alleged metropolitan bias in rural coverage, with a new survey showing only 2% of rural residents find their reporting accurate. Complaints include lack of focus on rural workers and downplaying badgers role in TB spread. The Regional Moorland Groups, supporting farmers and gamekeepers, calls for more balanced coverage, accusing the BBC of favoring urban-based groups and ideological framing in environmental journalism. The BBC defends its commitment to diverse rural coverage and adherence to editorial guidelines.
