Political bias at BBC - something has to be done surely

I see the BBC are making up rumours, reporting them and then commenting on them and then reporting them as facts on the 9'Oclock news !

Exactly the same as what you're doing without posting up any facts as to what you're on about.

That's the point of the whole thread; hence its title.

Making it up am I ?

Then show me the proof that Davis threatened to resign yesterday over the end stop date. I will then withdraw the accusation.

I had the news on in the background yesterday, it started in the morning as "I think he may" to "it is rumoured" (by my mate earlier) and transformed to "fact- he threatened" as the day moved on.

They also don’t particularly like Corbyn. So to call them left wing is stretching it a little.

Corbyn fell out of favour with the left, i'm not entirey sure why, but it happened literally over night, one minute he's the lefts golden boy, next minutes he was public enemy number 1, and then they threw him under a bus with all the anti-Semitism stuff.

Corbynfest is going well. They are now giving away tickets and promising free transport.

I love the BBC and pretty much everything it does, with one exception, BBC News. The biggest bunch of lying, disingenuous duplicitous bds on the face of the news gathering planet. I fking hate them with a passion.

The post I quoted you on had no facts, or subject in it, so how was anyone to know what you're even on about?

[The Dangerous Elk]

but you defended the BBC without knowing ....you default move. Maybe ask first before calling bullst.

Maybe post in a clear manner so that any normal person can get the gist of what you mean without needing to be psychic.

I listen to 5 Live and read the BBC website and neither of them seem left-biased to me.

Unless the TV news is vastly different to either of the above then I think the BBC is doing a pretty good job of being neutral at the moment.

Slightly off-topic, but why is the BBC using Facebook, as in: “The BBC’s Marino Oi is live on Facebook now...”?

I don’t use Facebook (for all sorts of reasons, let’s not go there) and I rather object to the idea that our national broadcaster assumes I do/will/can.

Certain R4 programmes are constantly trying to get you on twitter. ..

Twitter, the home of intelligent discussion and the leading form of communication, for a Goldfish.

Good place for a BBC journalist and the Big Orange one then

Sadly this is common to absolutely all media operations these day ...

Sadly some people can't seem to see the subtle political messages in the vast majority of BBC programs (not just the news).

There's always got to be a minority being outcast by a majority, who in turn are painted out to be hethens, thugs and lower class.

Then there's the soaps, always on point with the latest news, ready to swing public opinion on things like privacy, the internet, racial issues, knife crime, LGBT issues, etc etc etc etc....... It's all part of the brainwashing, get those messages into peoples heads without them realising it and before they ahve chance to form their own opinions.

To what end though? Why do you think the bbc are trying to influence people and what do they actually want you to do? Corbyn supporters think they’re anti Corbyn, you lot think they’re too left wing and politically correct.

Let’s assume you’re correct and the BBC are trying to make everyone centrist lefties and politically correct automatons. What then? Are they trying to make us buy something or vote in a certain way? Does the bbc not supporting Corbyn or May help them? Are they making money out of us supporting minorities?

Obviously what you’re saying (to me) sounds a bit unhinged and mad. You seem to be closely studying a lot of bbc output to see all this?

It might be that you’re seeing these brainwashing messages because you’re looking too hard and actually they don’t really exist.

Or that I’m brainwashed of course.

It's not just a bit unhinged but this is also a tad arrogant. You seem to think that you are obviously so clever that you can spot these subtle political messages that the masses can't, they must be thick right?

Or just maybe and I know its hard to comprehend but there is no bias and you are so biased yourself so are actively looking for anything you think is biased.

As with all daft conspiracy theories they usually fall down when asked "to what end" ?
