## BBC News Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "Biased reporting"
There is clear evidence that the bbc censor their own journalists. They push their own propaganda the same as any other newspaper, however claim they don’t. Tired of seeing watered down wish washy articles.
-- Yammy99, 2025-01-04

### ***-- "Not British news"
United States news
-- Billy1944, 2025-01-04

### ***** "Great news source"
Comprehensive news source with honesty at the forefront. Covers multiple events and trusted reporting. Couldn’t wish for a better provider. Well done indeed
-- Les (Leigh), 2025-01-04

### *---- "Biased news"
In years to come - BBC will be remembered for how it defended a genocidal, colonial, entity. True evil. Biased reporting, which tries to undermine and ignores credible investigations and sources (such as ICC and Amnesty international recognising what is happening in Palestine as genocide). Raffi Berg, editor for BBC online Middle East, is a Zionist. The fact he is the editor for the whole of the Middle East says it all. He has his own published books praising Mossad (Israeli intelligence agency).
-- Bamberrrs, 2025-01-04

### *---- "False news again"
How can a professional journalist in this day and age comment on Tommy Robbinson without even watching the documentary that Tommy made proving he didn’t lie about the Syrian boy who was famous for assaulting other children. You wonder why people are leaving these main stream media apps and following news on YouTube.  Shame on you.
-- Definitely not right wing roy, 2025-01-04

### ***** "BBC New"
The BBC new is the best!
-- ADS Turner, 2025-01-04

### **--- "Accessibility- dark mode"
Why are sports news stations pages being displayed compulsorily in white mode?   I read in dark mode with large font. Your app states that it responds to phone settings. But sports news is now regularly in day/white background. They’re usually near the end of the carousel- but Luke littler story today- second story in .  These and other pages also don’t adjust font size- so big headlines but tiny text that doesn’t cascade. 
It’s  very poor  coding- amateur - doesn’t meet your own accessibility standards &amp; becoming a bad reading experience
-- BeeABeeBee, 2025-01-04

### ***** "When you want news"
So good to get the latest news when I have time to browse at my leisure.
Well written items and photos and absolutely bang up to date.
-- the FB bcbcbg, 2025-01-03

### *---- "Woke rubbish"
No intelligent journalism to be found anywhere
-- migotriple, 2025-01-03

### *---- "Biased news source"
Dirty. Unfair. Biased pro genocidal
-- Ism1987, 2025-01-03
