Part 7/11:
The scandal raises questions about the future of the BBC's funding model. Public support is waning as audiences become increasingly aware of alleged biases and manipulations. Many viewers are choosing to abstain from paying the license fee, which has become a contentious issue, with prominent figures such as former Prime Minister Boris Johnson openly defying it, willing to face jail to protest the perceived corruption of the broadcaster.
Analysts suggest the BBC is "dying a slow death," as its influence diminishes amid declining trust and shifting public attitudes. The corporation's perceived left-wing tilt, combined with efforts to promote progressive social agendas, has alienated segments of its audience, further accelerating its decline.
