BBC bias

[Doggy Styles]

Loving the references in there where the Daily Mail are criticising the BBC, priceless.

So is the Daily Mail publicly funded, with a charter to be unbiased?

I didn't know that!

"The Agreement accompanying the BBC Charter requires us to do all we can to ensure controversial subjects are treated with due impartiality in our news and other output dealing with matters of public policy or political or industrial controversy. But we go further than that, applying due impartiality to all subjects"

How does that sit with their self-confessed bias in reporting global warming?

Impartiality has limits.

AFAIK they are also biased in favour of the theory of gravitation, and I'm OK with that too. It's not a bias, it's a fact.

That is really funny, it sounds like just about everyone has accused them of bias in one way or another.

It's disappointing to hear that they make mistakes from time to time but they do try very hard to get it right and on balance I think the BBC is a great institution. Having spent a lot of time in other countries I can tell you that the beeb is a national treasure for the UK.

Absolutely.

I loved the bit in the article about them being accused of Racism and Homophobia (the pinko BBC, really?). As well as Pro-Muslim bias and Anti-Muslim bias.

No, it's the way the Daily Hate Mail is cited as a "reliable source" in the Wikipedia article that amuses me.

Don't get me wrong though, I love this rabid comic of a news paper. I find it's makes a great wrapper for my fish and chips on Friday night with the added bonus that I can read the chip papers while I eat and get myself all wound up for a Friday night session of setting the world to rights.

I looked at that and couldn't find "Anti: white skilled indigenous born in Britain people who work hard and respect the law." Could you give me the chapter and verse, please?

"Others argue that the BBC is biased against the white population in its output, for example being reluctant to report racist murders perpetrated by ethnic minorities..."

"criticism over allegations that it had failed to act on rumours about sexual assaults, especially on young girls, by presenter Jimmy Savile".
Whose victims were white girls, in the main.

I've boycotted the communist BBC - I don't use their website and don't watch their telly. I even get a free TV licence these days as my Father-in-Law is 86 and lives with us.

1st point is allegedly (on thin evidence) disadvantageous to white people. Hell and gone from "Anti: white skilled indigenous born in Britain people who work hard and respect the law".

2nd point is risible (i literally lol) as a sign of anti-white discrimination. Real larf.

If that's your chapter and verse then I'm an atheist.

I don't think it is a laughing matter. The BBC by allowing Jimmy Savile to carry on assaulting white schoolgirls is showing that it is anti the white British community. Because isn't child protection a major part of the responsibility of a caring administration of a community? Especially so the official national broadcaster of that community.

Do you seriously think the reason they didn't do anything about Savile was because he was only targeting white girls? And is that even true anyway?

I wouldn't put it past them. If Dr David Bellamy got thrown out of the BBC because he disagreed with climate change I can well imagine Jimmy Savile suffering the same fate if he started nobbling pakistani schoolgirls.
