BBC to apologise.

The Daily Mail is often accused of telling lies, but here is our national broadcaster daring to include fake footage in their prestigious TV programme Panorama.

Makes one wonder how many of these heart wrenching scenes of the third world are also fake, and are used for propaganda purposes?

[jno]

so the BBC has had its broadcast reviewed by the BBC Trust and is publicising a ruling that it got it wrong. (There's a headline on the front page of its website... though there's actually no clear evidence that they DID get it wrong.) Anyone recall when the Mail last did that? 1723?

[emmie]

no papers get it right, neither do the BBC, they are as biased as it comes.

That's not the spaghetti harvest item, is it ?

I rumbled that ages ago.....

[emmie]

doubt it. But they are staffed by many left wing ideologists, who have their own agenda, anti Tory certainly. It has been pointed out in any number of papers, about the BBC's coverage of political events, probably as boring as it comes, but little coverage of the tories, but plenty for labour, and seeing as how i have to shell out a small fortune a year to keep these people in business the least than can do is be objective

One 45 second sequence may have been staged but the rest of the programme was found to be true.

So the BBC assertion that Primark uses child sweat shop labour has been vindicated.

Unlike Daily Mail stories that are found to be entirely and substantially dishonest!

[emmie]

do you read your paper cover to cover, and believe every word, no, well most people are the same. I don't believe half of what's written, most i don't care about, and the things i do care about, i would try and do something about it.

Here's the actual report if your interested in reading it yourself and making your own mind up.

"It has been pointed out in any number of papers, about the BBC's coverage of political events"

Papers, you say? You mean those things that are in competition with the BBC? Well, there's a surprise.

From the Guardian

// It goes against natural justice to find against the journalist and producers on what it calls "the balance of probabilities."

Dan McDougall is an intrepid, award-winning investigative reporter with a superb record in exposing human rights violations.

Frank Simmonds is an experienced producer who has been responsible for many important revelatory Panorama programmes.

Yet this so-called judgment - which requires the corporation to apologise for the documentary - puts a black mark against their names on the most tenuous of grounds. //

A Black mark ! These people should never be alowed to produce another item for television.

allowed

[bazwillrun]

how many other times has this happened ? highly unlikely to have been the first or the last

I'm sure the BBC has done this on untold occasions to back up its left wing biased reporting.

The BBC should be fined to teach them a lesson if thats possible.
And the fine should be a refund or a reduction on the licence tax.

Ah the old left wing BBC - So symptomatic of the Right wing press thats led by Johnny foriegner to continualy attack it as such.

The BBC is the most maligned organisation due to its efforts to tell the truth.

So I ask you give one example of left wing bias by the BBC not something that shows the Labour party in a good light but something that advocaes the left as right when you can prove directly they are wrong.

The BBC is run by the most anti-liberal people in the country, the people who moved to Manchester despite opposition from all political fronts.

It does suprise me that the Xenophobes on here are quite happy to support the party line of an Australian led media company. So rather that belive the evidence of your own eyes you support a foriegner.

/// So I ask you give one example of left wing bias by the BBC ///

Just watch a few 'Question Times', BBC1 Thursday nights.

[emmie]

BBC is biased as it comes, watch not only Question Time, but listen to any of the journalists, newsnight, radio included, and endless programmes about the plight of the country, due to Tory mismanagement now and before. Rarely heard comments about the mess the labour people have made of things.

[Davethedog]

What you are expressing is your opinions got any facts? Has there never been a tory on question time .
