      Exactly, as I said: people are shit, they’re biased and their judgement is garbage.

      We could spin it off to an independent committee, but Tories could just fill the upper ranks with Tories (see BBC, supposedly independent but in reality far from it).

      We could write standards that are unbiased, example: reporting must be factually accurate in detail and spirit. But the standards will be selectively applied, see Ofcom/GB News.

      As I said, I’m agnostic. Standards should be set and enforced, it’s just a shame it would be a reflection of those in power, so fuck em.
