Chancellor comes out and tells us we are all going to be worse off. Yes, this is news. I don't recall any incumbent government advising their policies will make the country poorer.
Not the Beeb's fault the Tories are clowns.
"Estimates have been made that....."Not the Beeb's fault the Tories are clowns.
I thought journalism (at the BBC) was about the truth and accuracy ?
They way they report things IS down to the BBC.

you boys need to find something better to cry about. How about the shocking state of the tory government?
I don't think that is the subject of the thread.Plus just from a balance perspective we have a Corbyn Thread and one on the Labour party too
Oh and the odd thread or two on Brexit

Not unless the fooling is being done by Farage, Mogg, Davis, Fox and the tabloid papers though. It's just fine for them to fool us.

Chris Evans giving a balanced programme this morning...not.
Are you trying to say that one of the most highly privileged affluent pampered individuals of society. The most highly paid public sector worker of all time doesn't seem to be able to give a balanced unbiased opinion? That's crazy talk, next you will be saying multi multi-millionaire Hollywood stars who live a world unimaginable to most don't seem to be able to also give a understanding balanced insight into world affairs.

Something I noticed recently on the blurb.....regarding the Paris protests.
Usually the left leaning BBC report favourably when protests take place in London, especially on liberal lefty issues such as rainbow rights, anti-trump and anti-brexit marches etc.
The typical left wing ideology is "power to the people/unions" etc......so it was a surprise to see what many viewed as negative BBC reporting on the protests in Paris.
Could it be that as Macron is a typical French leftist and as the protests were about fuel tax, that both of these issues went against a favourable slant for the left leaning BBC ?
BBC is very much anti-oil, very much pro-global warming and very much supportive of liberal left issues. So no surprise to see them mentioning time again that the fuel protests in Paris were supported by extreme/fringe political motives such as the far-right and far-left, in attempts to de-merit the protests as being nothing more than extremists riots.
If those who can remember back to the fuel protests in the UK a number of years ago, similar tactics were used, branding the protests as extremist and I also remember terrorist terminology being used, with fake reports of truckers beating up ambulance staff etc.
I don't support rioting in any form, but its clear to see the BBC slanting on the issues.

Macron isn't 'leftist' he is just another globalist puppet put in place by the banks and EU stooges hence why the BBC and the rest of our fake MSM love him. He was elected on the worst turnout in France's electoral history which is quite something considering he was standing against Le Pen.Usually the left leaning BBC report favourably when protests take place in London, especially on liberal lefty issues such as rainbow rights, anti-trump and anti-brexit marches etc.

It will be interesting to see how the BBC and their Guardian bum chums report this weekends 'Brexit means Brexit' march taking place in London will they over-egg the numbers of people like they did for the Remain gathering the other month. Me thinks not. I predict the only coverage we will see on our new channels of this weekends march is when hard left antifa types start causing trouble.

It's a completely standard practice not just for protests but every news story.
They operate like this.
Work out how it fits with their agenda. Does it promote it or damage it?
If it promotes it give it as much prominence as possible, if the opposite try and bury it and give it no attention.
(For example if the narrative is about hate crime's on the increase, racism and poor vulnerable immigrants. Find somthing like a video of typical school bullying which happens day in day out but this time to a immigrant and bang it all over the headlines.)
With protests it's a simple tactic of positive or negative reporting all depending on if they agree or disagree with the march.
If they agree they will use all the images of smiling and happy people, images that make the crowd look bigger and so on. Use information on it such as numbers if the police say 5000 but the organiser say 10000 they will use the 10000 figure in the report.
All the opposite is true for a protest they don't like, bad images used, emphasis on any bad behaviour, the smallest estimated crowd size, but most of the time they just won't report on it and hide the fact there even was one.

I rather got the distinct impression that the BBC was ignoring this story until t got too big elsewhere not to. Usually the left leaning BBC report favourably when protests take place in London, especially on liberal lefty issues such as rainbow rights, anti-trump and anti-brexit marches etc.
