Alternative Facts and Post Truth

[vetran]

Anyway the main issue with the Daily Mail is for completely non-fact checked stories they are written by "Daily Mail Reporter".

so you ignore them and double check the other wail story with Sky etc when they finally publish the story.

You are allowed to laugh at the Kim Bigassian stories.

All news sources have a political bias.

The trick is to know which way they are generally bias and get your news from a source that has a different political general view. So for example if you read The Guardian you should also read the Telegraph. If you watch BBC news also watch Sky news. If you watch Russia Today give up hope.

I find Guardian + Telegraph + FT + mash is all you need for UK news sources.

Hey its not like other sources are particularly good.

The BBC's own report clearly shows they filtered & distorted their coverage repeatedly

And we are forced to pay for that.

Helen Boaden, Director, Radio and until recently Director, BBC News, accepts that when
she came into her role in September 2004 there had been a problem in the BBC’s
coverage of immigration. She was aware, she told us, of a “deep liberal bias” in the way
that the BBC approached the topic, and specifically that press releases coming from
Migration Watch were not always taken as seriously as they might have been.
Former Today programme reporter, Robin Aitken who, after he left, wrote a book about
what he perceived as left-wing bias at the BBC [Can We Trust the BBC?, published in the
same year as Bridcut’s report] told us, “What damages the BBC on a subject like
immigration is fundamental niceness and being loath to give offence to any part of the
community. It is a self-censoring idea: ‘Let’s not encourage debate as it might encourage
nasty elements in society.’ It is entirely wrong-headed.”

And we are forced to pay for that.
