Proof of the BBC's left wing slant

/// Could there be any clearer indication of the BBC's Left-wing slant than the threat to black out coverage of David Cameron's speech to the Conservative conference and George Osborne's vital public spending review next month?///

All in all it seems that the lefties are rearing their heads to cause civil disobedience around the country, with union leader Bob Crow calling on ther public to block the motorways etc etc.

This is the Bob Crow who once belonged to the Communist Party, but now enjoys a £95,000 per year salary. No matter what hardship he will cause to working families he won't be any worse off.

He is some kind of hero to the left, but in my mind he is more danger to the country than Nick Griffin could ever be.

Huh?

If BA employees went on strike when David Cameron was trying to get home would you conclude that BA was a left wing business?

The Mail has outdone itself in contorted logic today!

Never though I'd see the words Mail and logic in the same sentence.

[anotheoldgit]

Typical anti Daily Mail skits from the offset, but strangely quiet regarding the other issues.

[jake-the-peg]

The other issues don't own large chunks of ITN - a direct competitor to the BBC

Isn't it because they are threatening to strike because of the attck on thier pensions, rather than a corporate decision?

Stand up and fight for your corner aog but a bit of objectivity would help sometimes.

I suspect the Mail's campaign against the BBC is as much motivated by this graph as anything else

I think there is no doubt that there is a concerted campaign by the the right wing to undermine the BBC.

This is all to do with paywalls and paid for media, one has to ask exactly why the Murdoch empire so dramaticaly changed its support. James Murdochs attack on the BBC at Edinburgh in 2009 laid out what they wanted.

The attacks have nothing to do with politics and everything to do with revenues, and the gullible just swallow the party line.

It is possible to read this report and believe it is the dumbest, sloppiest, most stupidest piece you have read for a long time.

You might wonder why the Mail would make such a basic error as to mix up the BBCs editorial position with the timing of a strike by cleaners and set builders etal.

The BBC is not able to dictate when it staff take to go on strike, so cannot be blamed for it. The BBC staff have timed it so that the Government will at least notice it, whether it will do them any good is a different matter.

The Mail have deliberately presented this story to miss represent the BBC because if the BBC is starved of money or the services provided are cut due to underfunding then the BBC's commercial competitors will gain financially, namely the Daily Mail Group.

It is a shabby way to confuse and missinform it's gullible readers.

...or it could be infltrators from Murdoch...maybe....

[WShee9]

...meaning-they could be fifth columnists hoping that the govt starts to take on the beeb-and at the same time destroy the beeb---giving murdoch a free reign...?

I just don't get why so many of you bother to bite at these silly little bits of Mail-inspired bait that anotheoldgit dangles each day. He is just a cartoon, he is Edna Welthorpe, nothing more. Save your time & effort and don't bother.

[anotheoldgit]

Still no mention of the last three paragraphs.

How very strange.

I noticed you bothered.

But why I do not know, if you only like to read what you like to read, then go back to your celebrity magazines, and leave us alone.
