Is Ab Politically Biased.?

[HansUrbancka]

I find it rather strange that News item concerning the failings of Conservative MPs are allowed to remain, but it appears that threads involving possible wrongdoings of Socialists are 'pulled'.

Hans.

Don’t think AB has many editorial staff. An editor and maybe a spare, but not full time.
Moderators are chosen on merit from their posting record, not political allegiance.

[youngmafbog]

They may not be chosen for it but somehow it appears that is what has happened.

By editorial staff I was referring mainly to the moderators.

Are the weekend ones different as I have seen some really odd calls at the weeknd?

//left wing and anti EU. //

Is there such an animal ?

[ummmm]

Someone else recently complained about weekend moderation. Over zealous moderation.

[youngmafbog]

I'm not really complaining. Just an observation.

We can have fun debating what it means to be "reflective of the result" 'til the cows come home -- still, AB tends to be a little biased towards the right wing in terms of representation, but in a consistent way.

[Khandro]

All I can say is that I've been knocking J.Corbyn mercilessly (he deserves no less) for the last few days, and I haven't had a single post pulled.

Gromit, one of the lesser knows rules is that the Ed is required to support Labour on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the Tories on other days. Strict impartiality is required on Sunday as all post are made under the eyes of God. If a spare Ed is around, he or she removes all criticism of the Lib Dems.

AB users, however, tend toward the old and cranky.

[jim360]

That's because the Great and Might Lord Jeremy Corbyn, the second coming of Jesus (check the initials) is a benevolent and generous master who graciously tolerates such puny attempts to criticise him as a sign of your naivety, rather than a treacherous attempt to undermine his glorious leadership. Possibly.

[youngmafbog]

Ah, but which God jno?

And what abut us atheists?

:-)

Richard Dawkins is paid a retainer to check your output, ymb.

[youngmafbog]

Good answer jno!
