The BBC hasn’t been impartial for at least 20 years. Not only that, but they’re the most transphobic publicly funded institution in the UK.
Can you expand on that? They're my main news source and I've never got transphobic vibes from them.
There is an absolute wealth of articles online about it, but here’s a couple points to get you started

Thanks for this. Really opened my eyes.
What are some more central/impartial news source for international coverage?
Honestly? There isn't really one. I think the best you can do is expose yourself to various sources and apply a very, very, very high dose of skepticism to everything you read.
