He wasn’t making bold comments, Dimbleby was just stating the obvious.

The very fact that Adam thinks if you state "the country is in a dreadful state" that's not impartial demonstrates precisely what's wrong with journalism, and why coverage of this election has been absolutely shameful.

Of course, Chris Mason, Laura K and Adam would never think the country is in a state as all 3 of them are privately educated - which is why journalists in this country like those 3 are absolutely DREADFUL at their jobs.

At least Dimbleby knew and still knows how to do the job properly!

David Dimbleby. A true impartial journalist. He must be so disappointed in the standard of journalism today.

[bubbs]

David Dimbleby - the BBC is a poorer place without you. You are missed .
( by a former BBC viewer / listener )

[malacca]

Good to see the senior broadcaster speak clearly, concisely and intelligently. And then there is the teen with the tash: 'Erm, I mean, kindov like, you know, erm, kindov national, true true, actually do you know what? kindov like erm, yeah." How BBC standards have plummeted!

[jimmyd]

The little activist disguised as a journalist just got schooled by Dimbleby on having the spine to speak the truth

[SpencerAndersonn]

Question Time isn’t the same without Mr Dimbleby.

[t.p.mckenna]

I genuinely hope that the new government will look at the BBC and address the outrageous appointments that were made under Boris Johnson's disreputable reign, especially with regard to the bogus application of 'impartiality' which has effectively been a mechanism by which to quell honest reporting on the government of the day.

[martinhill]

I could have listened To David all day.He speaks from the heart and its is a dying art.Such a class broadcaster.

[peterstaples]

"I don't know what impartiality is".
That an interesting statement

[stephenpiesse]

Listening to David was brilliant, as he saying what is happening and what the country is facing. Miss him on Question Time.

[LuckyLlamaLiam]

Yes we all know that the BBCs definition of impartiality is very different from a dictionaries.

[ma_]

I dreadful miss David. His intellect and gravitas are sorely missed.

[bri_____]

The country died 20 years ago, and nobody attended the funeral 😢

[keithatkinson]

I miss David Dimbleby, hes a class act

[ianbutcher]

The gulf between these two, today vesus yesterday, a clear indication of why our country is in such a perilous state.

[stephenguppy]

David Dimbleby should be doing the coverage on tv tonight. He should also have done the Coronation. Wise words from a proper journalist.

[martinholmes-ueko]

The bloke with the mustache should look up "impartial " in a dictionary.

[dogriffiths]

Everyone at the BBC has been forced for years to be balanced and always give both sides of any argument equal weight. But it's nonsense. What matters is not balance but objectivity. A broadcaster should not express their broad political views but on any given issue they should present the facts as best they are known. Dimbleby has always been objective and I have never had a clue what his general political beliefs are. When he says that the country is in a terrible state, that's just true and should be reported.

[rosienorton]

Oh I love him. I've watched him for easily 50 years. Brilliant
