Reply to: BBC bias

[Green Mango]

When they start including actual quotes from people, you know you are onto something fairly pukka.

The BBC does studies on itself. On one BBC report on TV they admitted a minor left wing bias. The bias they said was because most of the programme makers and presenters were LEFT WING. In other words they could not help themselves.

The report writers recommended trying to correct the bias. I haven't seen much evidence that this policey is working.

Wasn't in the Daily Mail. The BBC admitted it's bias on the BBC.

No it hasn't. You can't believe what you read in the Mail you know.

read the article and make up your own mind.

That's the article that is refuted in the article I linked to

As I said, you can't believe what you read in the Mail.

EDIT: as you probably can't be bothered to read anything that doesn't confirm your existing opinion, I'll point out just one of the blatant lies in the Mail report: it claims to have a leaked report from a secret meeting. The meeting in question was in fact streamed live on the web to the general public.

Well the BBC itself has admitted it has a left wing bias.

Never really agreed that the BBC is particularly biased. Really can't remember instances but have noted well before this that they are quite willing to make some adverse comments on Labour.

On Sunday morning the BBC are making F1 fans switch channels in the middle of a live sporting event, all so they can show some left wing religious nonsense. FFS - just wait an hour. Jesus will still be dead.

Bias if ever I heard it.

Legally they have to do religious programming. Like legally all channels have to have their main evening news by 11pm.

They have quite cleverly now put Songs of Praise, the program that made me do my homework on a Sunday, on at random times but I think there must be legal restrictions in the morning that mean we have to suffer God Bothering.

For anybody with a bit of brains, it is obvious that BBC is extremely manipulated by the government in power.

When the Tories were in, I didn't detect a right wing bias. Quite the opposite.

For anybody with a bit of brains, it is obvious that BBC is extremely manipulated by the government in power. The government is capable of scrapping the TV tax and so cut the funding that the BBC gets so easily by doing nothing. The recent appearance of the extreme right BNP on Question Time was a clever Labour idea of generating a country wide interest in BNP and therefore splitting the conservative votes.

Maybe sooner. It's a lot warmer this afternoon than it was this morning. At that rate, it will only take a month or two.

Not in Denmark, it'll only be next week!

So if we carry on, our atmosphere will be 96% CO2, 400 degrees centigrade and a pressure of 90 times what it is now.....
