Political bias at BBC - something has to be done surely
Discussion
Alan who?
He's won awards for acting apparently, that's great and goes some way to appreciating his comments. He's acting as though his view is more worthy than that of Doris at number 32.
Talking of comments...this is a pertinent example.

Why would it bother him as he appears to prefer living in the United States to Scotland.
He's had to 'apologise'... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/alan-cumm...
I was thinking about this thread today.
Largely it consists of right-wing PHers (judging from their other posts) saying the BBC is biased, and left-wing PHers (judging from their other posts) saying it isn't.
Doesn't this demonstrate that it is?
If it was unbiased, right- and left-wing posters would agree that it was biased, but disagree about the direction.

Nailed it. Largely it consists of right-wing PHers (judging from their other posts) saying the BBC is biased, and left-wing PHers (judging from their other posts) saying it isn't.

I bought a new DAB hi-fi system for my garage/gym last week, and yesterday, when training, I thought I'd re-visit 6 Music. What a mistake that was! Tuned in only to hear a tirade against Donald Trump and how we should open the doors even wider to more immigration from some old Pink Floyd bloke.
Decided that my USB mix track stick would be a much better alternative.

Anybody who rants about Trump is alright by me....Odd ,isn't it , that David Gilmour (I assume ) has left wing views , being in the arts and all that ? Would you have preferred a paean of praise to The Donald and a EDL type rant against migrants ? Decided that my USB mix track stick would be a much better alternative.

Personally, I just expected some 'blokey banter' interspersed with mainly good music, and that's it - not some political rant, no matter what the ideology.
I hope that simple explanation helps sate your pretend outrage, you berk.

I did ask this earlier in the thread. All these people are supposedly "free thinking"; why, then, do they all seem to espouse exactly the same views (I'm talking specifically about the Question Time '5th seat' types)?

BBC love-in with media & "artistic" luvvies discussing Brexit.
Where would we be now without them winning wars & defeating the baddies?

Can now add Wayne Hemmingway to that punching in the face thread
Oh God, that was painful. They managed to find one luvvie who had voted leave, and she was a cardboard cutout Angry Black Woman. Where would we be now without them winning wars & defeating the baddies?

The whole theme was so virulently anti-Tory it was just comical. Various comments about Thatcher as expected, 1997 described as a "new era of optimism" etc., it just went on and on.
