BBC biased towards pro-immigration lobby, says study - Telegraph

It is "common practice" for the BBC to give a platform to many pro-immigration spokesmen with no dissenting voices, while the corporation suffers from Left-wing "groupthink" preventing its journalists from challenging institutional bias, according to the report.
As a result, the corporation airs "propaganda" for those who favour multiculturalism, said the report by the independent think-tank The New Culture Forum, which looked at BBC news and current affairs coverage since 1997.

is anyone surprised?

is anyone surprised?

Surprised that an 'independent' organisation who's entire raison d'etre is to expose BBC left wing bias, thinks the BBC is too left wing?

What outcome did you expect them to come to?

Pro immigration and pro 'multiculturalism' are two different things.

Doesn't one lead to the other out of necessity?

No.

No.

So without immigration there would still be multi culturalism?

not sure where they found that quote, couldn't see it in the report, maybe the reporter made it up?


this is in there though :

Multiculturalism
was for years seen by many in Britain as the only
respectable policy for managing the problems
posed by immigration – over the past two years
it has been much harder to find people in public
life who support it. Programme-makers need to
treat areas of consensus with proper scepticism
and rigour. So often those in the media who
think they are in the mainstream find that the
river of public discourse has cut a new channel,
and left them stranded in ox-bow lakes.

of course this was from the Rabid right wing

Some months later, the BBC published a report
examining how impartiality might best be assured
in the future. It was, in its own way, equally candid:

Probably, as there are already many cultures in the UK. But youn don't have to espouse multi cultural policies in combination with immigration; indeed, many countries have had policies in the past which actively encouraged immigration while also encouraging immigrants to integrate into the local culture. Canada and the USA are examples, but obviously the words 'local culture' are debatable.
