Why is the BBC not talking about Brexit ?

Businesses are tearing their hair out ; people are losing their livelihoods ; the replacement of Erasmus by the Turing scheme deprives students of opportunities ; science suffers the withdrawal of EU funding, accompanied by government cuts. You would have thought that the BBC would think that this was worth reporting. But, no: Brexit is 'done' ; we have to 'move on'.

It could be said that the pandemic consumes all our attention. But that is a transparent excuse. It has always found bandwidth to talk about other things. But instead it finds tome (and here I'm talking about supposedly serious programmes like BBC Radio 4's 'The World at One') to talk about 'feel good' issues, like people looking forward to returning to pubs after the pandemic. I'm not denying that many people yearn for a convivial drink ; but when so many parts of our national life are facing extreme upheaval, shouldn't the BBC be paying more attention ?

Is this part of a broader intention to align the BBC with the government's agenda, along with moving key departments of the BBC away from the geographical orbit of the 'liberal metropolitan elite', and silencing 'left wing' comedians ? I only ask. Perhaps the BBC is afraid of mentioning Brexit too much, as for the government such problems are to be dismissed as 'teething troubles.'The BBC is still nominally independent, but throughout its history, governments have bridled at this autonomy. This conflict is very stark now.
