More Trouble For The Bias Broadcasting Corporation?

[youngmafbog]

Not perhaps as bad as the Clinton News Network but the BBC are supposed to be impartial. The way they behave when there is news that the the arrogant, self-selecting, self-perpetuating ‘liberal’ elite or their celebrity sycophants who have been lording it over the rest of us for far too long and are now getting their cumuppence is unacceptable.

Time for them to go, they have had chance after chance to get their house in order afterall.

Rowlocks YMB...this Tory MP has very little credibility.

And its being reported in the DM....and you go on about bias !

[Hopkirk]

I love the Beeb

I thought the BBC was impartial until I watched one particular report by its former political editor, Nick Robinson, during the General Election and subsequently paid greater attention. Yes, I think the BBC is biased.

[mikey4444]

Me too Hoppy, and nothing the DM or its pie dogs will persuade me differently.

When the right here in Britain feel under threat, they always start blathering on about the Beeb !

[naomi24]

Mikey, under threat? What threat?

[Hopkirk]

Oh Labour often have a go at Auntie, it's what politicians do.

A bit like footballers haranguing the referee, hoping to sway future decisions their way.

[mikey4444]

DM readers are never happier than when the papers lips are firmly stuck on the behind of the Tory Party.

It is a rapidly Tory newspaper....we shouldn't expect anything different.

"Hurrah for the Blackshirts !"

Mikey, //"Hurrah for the Blackshirts !" //

Perhaps before putting finger to keyboard a bit of a think and perhaps another cup of tea are in order. You seem to be losing the plot!

I have no doubt that the BBC are biased. It’s glaringly obvious with the soppy, sentimental way they report on the migrants.

Just before the Referendum, on the day Dr. Sarah Wollaston changed from ‘leave’ to ‘remain’ there was a rather lengthy interview with a German born, UK raised doctor, who spoke very eloquently about how much better the NHS would be outside of the EU, and why.
The interviewer (Simon McCoy, I think), kept trying to interrupt, but the doctor wouldn’t let him, and just carried on talking calmly. When the interviewer tried to blame the state of the NHS on the old folk, the doctor very calmly blew that theory out of the water.

I was so impressed, that I looked on the BBC website hoping to put a link on AB. It wasn’t there.

An hour later, the BBC showed a few seconds of the interview, only by then it had been edited so much, it looked like the doctor was saying something entirely different!

Rapidly?? Rabidly???

[mikey4444]

I wonder if anyone dared call the DM a biased paper, back in the 30's ?

Mikey, dragging up pre-war newspaper reports from 80 years ago. What is wrong with you?

Go easy on our mikey he is going through a bad period what with losing the General Election, losing the Referendum and now losing his preferred US presidential candidate.

It can't be easy for him.

So one very right wing newspaper is a bad thing compared to the Observer, Guardian, Independant etc etc etc Maybe it's time you start your own version of Pravda or resurected Marxism Today Mikey, it'll ensure your needs are met although looking at the list below, I'd suggest you are covered!

Mickey, it really is time to take a chill pill.

I'm really not sure how you think the right are under threat, I had noticed this before the result so didnt post knowing what you would say. But no in the cold light of day it can be looked at clearly, and there really is unacceptable bias.

[Marshwarble]

Mikey kind of makes a good point. Given this paper was so racist in its day, why hasn't it even had a name change? It is not something most Tories should associate themselves with.

[Gromit]

I did not watch all of the BBCs US election coverage, but I watched some of it. I did not see any bias. Andrew Neill is very good at presenting even handedly, and was doing a fine job. There was genuine shock that Trump had triumphed, and the Beeb reflected that in the coments of its guests. Reporting the shock of the result is not an example of bias. The shochk was part of the story as it unfolded.
As has already been commented on, to link to a highly biased newspaper to support the claim that the BBC is biased, is somewhat ironic.

Did you see their poor little faces when Hilary lost, they've only just stopped crying over Brexit.
