The BBC is basically political activism disguised as journalism

The news chanels and programmes have taken over from the daytime soaps for drama and theatre. I rarely watch either.

Yes, sky is owned by Murdoch and the BBC is usually biased towards the government of the time. I find ITV & channel 4 Need to be the most impartial

Exactly, they've effectively sacked a fabulous journalist because she actually spoke the facts.

Did No. 10 have a word do we think?

For all the right's hysterics about "comrade Corbyn" and the Stalinist behaviour they thought would follow. This lot are actually following that rule-book.

And the lefties will tell you it leans the other way. If both sides think that it the Beeb lean the other way, it must be pretty impartial.

Poor tories, life’s so unfair on them. They only have 80% of our newspapers and media rooting for them so they also need to destroy the BBC. They love democracy those Brexiteers don’t they?

no it's 100% true. Tony Hall was on Marr Saying we get complaints from the left and right so we must be impartial. I pointed out that 75% of complaints about left wing bias v 25% of complaints about right wing bias - would show Hall's claim as untrustworthy

Lmao channel 4 is not impartial basically BBC is tilted right channel 4 is left, you could tell the difference on areas such as Britain's foreign policies in Iraq, Afghan & Ireland etc.

All just depends on who tells the story, you get their version of the bits they want to highlight. Israel and Palestine is another good example of how they both differ in how they report.

A bit of a simplistic, generalised broad brush statement. Plenty of people think they go too easy of the Govt as the management is worried about how it will be funded in the future and the status of the licence fee.

I would think anyone with half a brain would pick up on any bias and wouldn't let it sway their opinion.

I watch Fox News but it doesn't make me like or hate Trump. I keep an unbias head on and realise everyone has a different perspective. Keeping an open mind and the news won't twist my nipples.

Exactly, the problem with the extreme right & left wing is that when they here or read anything that doesn’t agree with their views they automatically assume they are right or left wing. It is paranoia

"all bbc 'comedy' leftie

That is because there is so much comedy material available at the expense of the right wing. You stick to Jim Davidson

i would take jim davidson over nish kumar. Davidson learnt his trade in the northern working mens clubs - nish kumar is on the bbc because of his ethnicity

Ah, now we are getting a better picture of what type of person you are and why you don’t like the BBC.

davidson is funnier than kumar - who is about as funny as an unfunny person who ticks the boxes the bbc are looking for

Jim Davidson is appalling , there is a reason why he is no longer on TV, he is shite .

if kumar was booked to appear on some event i was attending i would look for more than bread rolls

Really? Why is that? Do people still throw bread rolls at comedians ? This is 2020

well they threw bread rolls at kumar

Sounds like a posh do, I have never been to a comedy show where they had bread on the tables "

"BBC are leftwing remainers

And the lefties will tell you it leans the other way. If both sides think that it the Beeb lean the other way, it must be pretty impartial.

Poor tories, life’s so unfair on them. They only have 80% of our newspapers and media rooting for them so they also need to destroy the BBC. They love democracy those Brexiteers don’t they?

I,ve asked the BBC to give me data on whether more people complain about the bbc being left wing or right wing. They said it is confidential

Also the fact that all the lefties are whining about the BBC licence fee being decriminalised should tell you something

Which lefties are you referring to? Let’s be honest, you didn’t ask the BBC for any data, that is fake news

Where did you get the 75% figure from?

as an example - saying we get complaints from left and right so we are impartial is useless without the number of complaints about left wing bias v number of complaints about right wing bias

All media is. Akways has been, always will be.

If you listen to media, you need to also do a lot of thinking for yourself about the parts they aren't telling us about. There is always a bigger picture.

If 75% of complaints to the BBC are about right wing bias v 25% of complaints about left wing bias - it would show Hall's claim as untrustworthy - but he was answering a question about left wing bias at the BBC

Look at the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. It's an EU agency in Sweden. It works with the WHO, other EU agencies, and national health services.

As well as global data, it's producing daily figures of confirmed C19 cases for the Europe region EU/EEA and UK.

Has it been mentioned by the BBC?

if some broadcaster says we get compalints from x any y so we are impartial and they get 1,000,000 complaints from x and 2 complaints from y - then they are correct in saying they get complaints from both sides of the argument. But it is disingenuous and meaningless argument unless you are prepared to publish how many complaints you get from x and y

Yes, but the 75% figure was made up by you up so it proved nothing . Your looking forward something that doesn’t exist

Exactly, so why are you speculating? You do realise that a person with extreme right or left wing views will always see bias that doesn’t agree with their view even if it doesn’t exist

but that means if the BBC is left wing then it is not possible for anyone to be able to identify it as left wing

This is getting tedious, I will leave you with this, the right wing think the BBC is left wing and the left wing think the BBC is right wing . "

I agree it is getting tedious - I will leave you with this - the right wing want to decriminalise the bbc licence fee - the left wing don't want to decriminalise the licence fee

"BBC are leftwing remainers

And the lefties will tell you it leans the other way. If both sides think that it the Beeb lean the other way, it must be pretty impartial.

Poor tories, life’s so unfair on them. They only have 80% of our newspapers and media rooting for them so they also need to destroy the BBC. They love democracy those Brexiteers don’t they?

I,ve asked the BBC to give me data on whether more people complain about the bbc being left wing or right wing. They said it is confidential

Also the fact that all the lefties are whining about the BBC licence fee being decriminalised should tell you something

Which lefties are you referring to? Let’s be honest, you didn’t ask the BBC for any data, that is fake news

Where did you get the 75% figure from?

as an example - saying we get complaints from left and right so we are impartial is useless without the number of complaints about left wing bias v number of complaints about right wing bias

Where did you get the 75% figure from?

as an example - saying we get complaints from left and right so we are impartial is useless without the number of complaints about left wing bias v number of complaints about right wing bias

yes because as i said - the BBC won't release whether they have more complaints about right wing bias or vice versa

Yes, they are both very biased. I don't watch either of them anymore. I watch itv. Love him or hate him, Piers Morgan is entertaining to watch and does try to get straight answers. Interesting how a lot if govt officials are boycotting GMB at the moment, says it all really.

the only news channel that tells it as it is and digs behind the headlines is rt news,people think its Russian propaganda but if that's true why are there so many American presenters on it. any report on American south states shows what real deprivation is there which you will never see on bbc/itv/nbc, why do you think numpty trump wants it banned!. if you want to see real news that tells what is really going on rt is only channel doing it!

Googling for "How left or right-wing are the UK’s newspapers Yougov" gives a lovely newspaper bias analysis (with charts!).

The left/right thing is a gross over-simplification. What's important is whether you feel your available media supports your worldview, or attacks it. Those views have axes eg

- trationalist/progressive

- libertarian/authoritarian

- nationalist/internationalist

- individualism/collectivism

And others. That's complicated though, and isn't easily communicable in political media discourse so we shortcut it.

Editorial slant is comparative ; mainstream media channels in the UK as, say, compared to the US, are objectively more politically neutral. We are a smaller, less rigidly camped people and there's not enough eyeball attention to survive as a single viewpoint publication - though the Morning Star does try, bless 'em.

Humans engage when a powerful social voice denounces thier preferred life choices. News media survives on emotional engagement - when it riles you, it's doing it's job.

Peg an emotional position for yourself read around several sources for a story (especially ones you feel uncomfortable about!) and you'll spot the slants and editorial motives and sift the details from the opinion.

The bbc does try to be impartial. Doesn't always succeed and sometimes tries too hard. The fact a lot people accuse it of being left wing and a lot right wing means its doing its job most of the time. Sky is a little more right wing and channel 4 a little more left wing. Uk news channels all occupy the middle ground and try not to be sensationalist. In the uk we don't anything like FOX news. These days most people want the news and media to reinforce their views not inform. Social media in the main does that.

As someone put earlier in the thread, people need to listen to the news and make their own minds up, wheter left or right, the government of the day will always accuse the bbc of being against them if they criticise them, but more recently there is a growing narrative of "fake news" so they are slowly turning the public against the media, we are seeing it with the cummings situation, some people are starting to call it a witchunt, but they are just reporting on what he has done, Trump in the USA rounds on reporters when they ask him a difficult question, but he doesn't actually give an answer

Not if your name was Dominic cummings..

You mean like Fox News? Or the Daily Mail?

Or are they not mainstream enough for you?

Think yourself luck you live in a country where there is a free press, picking fault with both sides of any story.

The alternative is available in China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc.

If the mainstream media gets lefties AND Pound Shop Nazis all upset, it's probably got it about right.

I agree it is getting tedious - I will leave you with this - the right wing want to decriminalise the bbc licence fee - the left wing don't want to decriminalise the licence fee

Or possibly, the Torys want the BBC to fail (so the media owners that fund their party don't have as much competition), but it's too popular to do this directly.

They are therefore coming up with lots of ways to do so more subtly. Reducing the amount the license fee raises is a good example. Others are forcing the BBC to reduce the popular stuff, and focus on more "niche" output, until the population find it less relevant. At which point they will go in for the kill.

Some say the BBC are left wing, some say right wing. But they was anti Brexit they can't hide from that, so I don't think people will fully trust them again.

If you didn't see it then there's no hope the BBC can do and say what they like.

I could name lots take me all day, just say please name one question time panel was in favour of brexit. You be lucky to name one that had more than one member of the panel backing Brexit,some weeks no Brexit surporters on the panel .

That's fine because you are anti Brexit so it was TV gold for remainers.

Sometimes reporters get things wrong. There is now a rush to be first with a story and so insufficient checks are made. If Kuenssssberg had been told a labour mp had been attacked by a Conservative supporter I'm sure she would have acted the same way

I'm fairly certain they arent allowed to ask which way you vote before letting you appear.

I would have thought even the lowlist journalist would have checked the validity of it before splashing it across twitter?

Not our Laura though.

That they do but there is a big difference between asking them outright who they voted for.

There are countless examples of bbc towing the tory party.

I've yet to hear 1 solid one the other way..just a claim that a programme whose studio audience is heavily Tory dominated is somehow anti Brexit.

Off the top of my head

Kunsberg/Hancock

Boris and the wreath

Qt audience

Making up corbyn to look like stalin in newsnight

Exposure given to Farage

Kunsberg being less than critical of the crises

To be fair I remember QT during the brexit time and the introduction started of by saying they had equal amounts of leavers and remainders in the audience. When the guests were introduced it included mostly how they voted. They must have asked
