Reply to: Nelson Mandela pops his clogs

It is of course possible that those calling X biased see it as biased because they are biased themselves, but thinking they are not biased view anything which doesn't support their views as biased. But of course such people are biased and don't realise it so there's no point telling them because they'll simply think you're biased.

That's a very biased comment, you biased man you!

I think you've called that one wrong.

He was brought up in a different country and regime.

ATW just read the independent. Then if you have time read the guardian balanced out by the telegraph.

OMG - Wash your mouth out!

Daily Mail certainly biased.

Of course, go directly to sensibility; do not pass go, do not collect 5 ska tokens

Guardian also but less so.

HTH

Wash your mouth out from the socialistic filth!

I gave up on the BBC years ago, only really watch Al Jazeera for news now

Me to. It's amazing how biased the unbiased BBC is when you compare to AJ. It's like comparing the Daily Mail to the Guardian.

Something to fill the gap between "50 years of Doctor Who!!!!!" and "Doctor Who Christmas Special !!!" ?

meh

What pisses me off more than anything is when BBC News (TV and Radio) starts talking about TV shows - who's won X-Factor, who's got their tits out in the jungle, what's happening on EastEnders.

Since when was the news an advertising or TV listings service?

There is something of a stuck record quality to news these days.

not only news, the same applies to the most premature and baseless speculation

As soon as anything happens, like that recent helicopter crash on the pub in Scotland, a talking head is waffling away at the scene on a ten minute loop and no one is really much the wiser.

Or so I'm told - On the rare occasions I watch the news at all, I change channels right after the hourly headlines. That's all one needs to know.

Gricer's prediction:

Somebody somewhere will post or tweet something offensive about NM and it will be all over the Daily Mail for days on end.
