BBC bias in it's news reports designed to incite riots ?
Discussion
It's almost unimaginable but I am struggling to see any other plausible explanation.
All night the BBC has been running the headline that the independent enquiry has said Mark Duggan was found not to have opened fire on Police officers prior to his being shot by them.
On the face of things you'd assume then that the Police were wrong in opening fire and there could well be some justification in rioting were you so motivated. However what the BBC are failing to report on is the fact that very same initial report has confirmed the man shot was in possession of a loaded gun at the time of the shooting.
When balanced in this way a whole new slant is put on things. We can all envisage a situation where officers felt the need to open fire prior to the gun being discharged.
It may just be that BBC reporters and controllers are useless at their job but their other output makes me think this is not the case. Worryingly this would lead you to think they are deliberately trying to fuel the unrest and tension currently being experienced.
I have expressed my concerns to both the BBC and OFCOM prior to posting on here.

It's a bit like repeating the word "recession" over and over again during a time of uncertainty in a sentiment based money market as witnessed a few years ago.
It's almost as if the press care more about sensationalist headlines, viewing figures and newspaper sales than actually reporting the news.

I don't think it has made a great deal of difference. The Guy who got shot for pointing a gun at SO19 officers ( 
) was an excuse to start something and now it's copy cat t
ts "keepin' like up wid da like yah no dem like Londoners like innit".
Also the rioters aren't watching the BBC news as they're all playing on their newly stolen X-Stations or watching the Jeremy Kyle show.
Media manipulation to ensite rioting? Wake up.

Where scrotes have been interviewed, its been money, "nufink" to do, fun, no work etc.
In reality its the fact that a lot of people can live without having to work, but still want the stuff that people who do work can afford. Couple that with a lack of any dicipline and no fear of punishment, and we now have a society that thinks its ok to just take what they want.
I commute 4 hours a day, and work for at least 8 hours, but normally its 9 or 10, the extra hours are not paid. I don't have the time to riot, and I have everything to lose if I break the law ( because I need to work to keep a roof over my families head)
