Just watching the morning news, they're doing a bit on climate change. What a steaming pile of bks. They reported the story re. the Uni of East Anglia's massaged science a while ago.

"Climate sceptics hacked UoEA's email system, and claimed that science had been faked. The studies in question have been widely peer reviewed and found to be correct by the rest of the science community. This month, more emails have been released by sceptics in an attempt to cast doubt on climate change"

What? No rational human being can say thats not pushing an agenda. They're trying to say anyone that doesn't have the view that massaging scientific studies to get the result that you want is fine is about the same as a tabloid journo hacking a dead girl's mam's phone.

Jesus. Now, some ugly bint is posing questions to a sane Dane in a totally biased way, then looking like a smacked arse face when he says sense.

I really want to hunt that bint down, and slap her with a wet fish until she realises she's an idiot. An interviewer should directly insult the interviewee in every question. It really doesn't make a good interview. Danish bloke looks so much more credible than the German version of Gok Wan and the lefty minger doing the interview.

No of course they're not impartial. They have a not very hidden agenda and it's left-biased, which means the expected belief in man made climate change despite available evidence. Hell, even that well-liked popular science chap / botanist David Bellamy's phone stopped ringing with work from the BBC as soon as he cast doubt on man made climate change, so it's clear they are biased and have an agenda. (The same happened with the science bloke Johnny Ball who presented mainly on Children's TV.)

Indeed. It's a state broadcaster, dependent on a government charter for it's continued existence. The idea that the BBC would ever seriously challenge the government line on anything is hopelessly naive.

+1 they punt the subliminal messages to the masses.

"Climate change exists"

Duh, 10k years ago we were in an ice age we are still coming out of it of course temps are increasing. They have been much higher many times before in earth's past.

"I am retarded and need help"

Endless droll stories about idiots, fools, animals and general thickness. Reinforcing the need to be told what to do all the time, what to think and how to behave. The Matrix is here and now. Eat, consume, die.

I agree entirely.

And yet there are large numbers` of people who suggest the BBC is independent.

Remarkable, given the extent of the Uriah Heep relationship, reality dictates.

It is impartial. Its just that the people who decide what 'impartial' is are raving lefties.

The BBC recruit nearly all their journalists, editors and managers from adverts placed by them in the The Guardian. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what their political leanings might be.

"England played very poorly during the World Cup, BBC scientists believe that this is the result of man made climate change"

"The new Land Rover Evoque was released today, we believe this will cause climate change"

"An old man died today because he could not afford his heating over winter, we blame a non-Labour government"
