Political bias at BBC - something has to be done surely

[lyonspride]

BBC banging on about anti-Semitism, fails to mention which community the vast majority of anti-Semitism comes from and/or the historic reasons for it, it's no wonder 1 in 3 want to leave the UK, their abusers are protected, unlike the 1400 young girls in Rotherham.

Yesterday Radio 4 were going on about Justin Welby's idea of giving all 25 year olds ten grand, paid for by higher taxes. This idea developed with the IPPR, as the newsreader said every half hour.

The IPPR are left-wing* as Nick Robinson muttered sotto voce at one point.

You can bet the farm that if a right-wing think tank (e.g. The Adam Smith Institute) had managed to get a report on lowering taxes first in the half-hourly news (as unlikely as that may be ) they would have been described as, e.g. "Right wing think tank the Adam Smith Institute".

It's so insidious, I wonder if they even know they are doing it themselves at times.

Theres a certain irony in your statement and posting history.

P.s. the Tommy Robinson/racism thread is that way -->

I didn't mention race at all......

What have I said that's a) Factually incorrect? b) Racist?

Tensions in Israel and the Westbank have a very long history, so much so that during the 2nd world war, the Nazi's drafted in the enemies of the Jewish people to fight alongside the German army.

My point was that the BBC talks about anti-Semitism, but doesn't mention where the abuse comes from or why, in fact the way they've been talking about it may lead people to believe that it's the likes of the EDL, Britain first and all that lot.....

Not one that exists today because as a murderous death cult it was correctly destroyed.

I think you are confusing existence with prevalence.

I had no idea that a "community" had committed such attrocities. They must have been as bad as the Nazis.

regarding bbc bias. if every employee of the bbc was polled anonymously as to how they voted at the last election what do people think the results would show ? for me the only debate is how much that bias intrudes into their professional lives when the work involves politics.

I'd say it's on the way back.

Any fool can see that muttering sotto voce is sig of clear bias.

The point is off screen by about a yard, i.e. you missed it.

It was that if it had been the other way round it would have been announced in the bulletins at 0600, 0630, 0700, 0730, 0800 and 0830. But was mentioned very quietly, once, almost under his breath in one of several pieces on it.

And my point is you being concerned about how he said it rather that what he said. Like lots of posts in this thread, it suggests you are looking quite hard for bias. In response to your new post, perhaps a proposal to give people money is just more interesting than a story about raising taxes?

He was on a full on rant that night.

His tweet about Carol Cadwalladr will probably lead to his BBC demise.

I don't think he's wrong.

I'm mostly surprised to hear the Mash Report had a second series.

I guess with him being the age he is, I doubt he gives a st. Fire off a few shots before resigning or being forced to resign just to highlight the sort of crap he has to put up with that he disagrees with. It makes the news and people start to question the bias.
