Political bias at BBC - something has to be done surely
Discussion
Another early start, another experience of the hilariously mis titled Farming Today, which true to form had very little to do with farming. Three items:
One on a project to reintroduce wild mussels to a river.
One about PETA's anti-wool campaign, which did actually quote a farmer.
Finally a long piece about renewable energy which was more or less an advert for it.

Bloody mussels-every damned one of them signed up to Momentum .And now they have the oxygen of publicity thanks to the rabidly pro- mollusc BBC. Outrageous - and tell me this - when were the decent, hard working members of the invertebrate community (every one a shire county Tory)last covered by Farming Today -hmmm?
Finally moved all my homepages off the BBC and onto Google News. I used to be such a big supporter of the BBC, but over the last few months the drivel that seems to come out of there is frustrating to say the least. The ''100 women of 2016'' was the final nail. Do we really need 100 articles on it?

Looking at the absurd coverage of Boris Johnsons relatively trivial comments on Saudi Arabia I suspect the BBC are keen to bring down a prominent Brexit supporter.
That was my take on it too. Especially when you listen to what Johnson actually said vs how the Beeb and the Grauniad have hyped itandymadmak said:

agree. The funny thing was the BBC actually confirmed that what BOJO said about Saudi being a puppet master and helping with proxy wars was true and known to be true but just not talked about openly. superlightr said:

5PM BBC NEWS
Not sure of the first news story as got to the TV late but maybe I caught the tail of it, the death of a food critic???
17:07 Syria - the war for Allepo
17:10 Trump - Accusations of Russia rigging the US election
17:16 Rerun of headlines
17:16 Protest disrupts J Corbyn's speech
We have had 2 days of prime first story news regarding Boris's off the cuff remark about Saudi with their news correspondents trying to drive the story forward with talk of split's, reprimands, and etc etc.
Disrupted speech high jacked by demonstrators gets 4th billing????
Would a disrupted Tory speech get brushed under the carpet so readily????

17:40 Trump - Accusations of Russia rigging the US election
17:45 Syria - the war for Allepo
17:47 Corbyn held a speech regarding arms sales o Saudi ...... The report of protesters lasted 10 seconds of a 26 second news snippet
17:47 Doctors wanting Diesel cars banning from London (report lasted about 3 Minutes)
I guess maybe even the BBC think JC is so irrelevant to have this news story so low down the list.
Actually I thought after the bumbling around on stage a little he responded quite well and ad libbing spoke quite eloquently to Tatchel but you never got to see that on this news programme

Jeremy still hasn't got around to condemn the Aleppo atrocities though has he. This would have been an ideal opportunity don't you think?
Andy .... I think you'd need to watch the whole speech to get your answer ..... I've slept, run and completed child care responsibilities since posting so do not exactly remember but 'without wanting to be quoted' think his response was more a mealy mouthed "all parties need to stop fighting" and" we need a political democratic solution to the tragedy" So I'll agree with you as his response was more a school sports day "there'll be no winner's and no loser's / no-ones wrong and no-
ones right" ...rather than condemn (Russia/Assad/Saudi/Tony Blair/Thatcher/Murdock) delete as appropriate
My thoughts of the BBC was as this was an interrupted speech from the opposition leader it rated higher than a 4th placed news item,
My personal view was once he got back on the stage he handled it extremely well, (Begrudgingly as I'm in no way a fan of him)
