Tired of BBC bias?

over a year ago

I think we all accept that the BBC is, shall we say, more sympathetic to the Left Wing view of the world. Given it is staffed by ex Labour Party and Guardian people that isn't surprising. But to me that isn't as bad as the continual drip drip of negativity post the EU vote.

The BBC was the major pedlar of all things 'Project Fear' as it accorded with their left / Socialist / EU is great bias. OK to some extent. But we are now seeing a deliberate distortion of factual reporting. Two examples today. Headline 1:

"Bosses more cautious on jobs after Brexit, survey finds"

And during a very long piece quoting 'experts' (like IHS Markit again) we got:

" Britain was entering a new phase of prolonged economic uncertainty following the referendum on EU membership."

and then we get the real point of the piece:

"we urge the government to prioritise maintaining the free movement of people across the EU during its negotiations."

So the BBC finds a survey of 2,100 businesses and uses it to peddle the 'Free Movement' crap that the British people rejected. And right at the bottom of the piece it says:

"A total of 8% of employers expect to increase staff numbers, 4% forecast a decrease and 87% anticipate no change."

Now forgive my being simple but those numbers tell me a different story than that peddled by the BBC Business Correspondent.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37341094

Headline 2:

"The inflation monster is stirring"

Kamal Ahmed, Economics editor, somehow manages to create an image of rampant inflation when its holding steady at 0.6% and of course within his piece blames Brexit. He says:

"Some economists are predicting inflation of 3% by the end of next year, above the Bank of England's target of 2%"

Without naming them? Basic Journalism surely? And forgetting to mention 'economists' were actually expecting the figure to be over 0.7%. The Retail Prices Index which includes mortgage interest payments, dropped to 1.8% in August from 1.9% in July. But no mention of that.

"Number 10 is watching nervously."

Is it? What when the inflation figures have actually remained static and are some 35% of the B of E monitoring figure?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37349812

I just think we are entitled to a far more accurate and independent assessment of news, events and politics from a taxpayer funded organisation?

The BBC already got exposed for their biased reporting during the Scottish independence referendum. I really wasn't surprised by the crap they came out with during the EU referendum and the subsequent crap they have been coming out with since the result of the referendum.

Shock horror. Brexit agitators dislike impartial News channels when the storyline is contrary to their own propaganda.

Brexit press release...

"We the people who won a clear majority demand that you stop being impartial and start getting the Remoaners to dislike foreigners a such as we do. You get special approval from us when you use phrases like.

The people have spoken

We won, it was a clear majority

Deal with it

Suck it up

We are leaving, get used to it

They need us more than we need them

Let's spend it on NHS/Schools/Transports/ etc (According to who you want to influence)

We don't need no single market

Let's make Britain great again

Etc etc

Under no circumstances should any story be told that undermines the official line that we have won our freedom and independence from foreign tyrants. Everything is going to be great because everyone needs us more than we need them. England is great. Long live Admiral Nelson, Rule Brittania and God Save The Queen. Nigel Farage for God."

OP, I brought this up about neutral political journalism. But some will see it as anti Corbyn. Anti immigration during the whole issues with Syria.

But all newspapers are biased.

There is a biased BBC site than analyses their articles. Never read it. But Google it.

According to the OP if a media outlet releases a story showing the negative impact of Brexit, they are biased. If an expert explains the negative impact of Brexit, then they are no longer "experts". If anyone mentions hate crimes it because their "argument as failed", and if you write "back of the net" after a statement it means that it has therefore been incontrovertibly proved to be fact and must not be questioned.

There's not actually a lot of difference between the far right and far left to be fair. Neither give a shit about private property and that's about as fundamental as it gets.

If it's a private newspaper it can do what it likes. I couldn't care less what the Guardian or Daily Fail write, you know what you're getting when you buy the paper. Tax funded media should be neutral though.

What you mean like the Chinese government, yeah there murdering scumbags too but wait there's Trudeau in Canada and half the EU who are left wing and well not murdering citizens, come to think of it Reagan and thatcher were right wing and didn't really murder their citizens either, well maybe not thatcher that's a bad example ha... But you get the idea.

It's entirely possible to be either left or right wing and not be a scumbag but scumbags often come in left wing and right varieties

Of course it's a lot easier to be a murdering scumbag when you have huge state apparatus to facilitate it. Statistically speaking, more people have been murdered by their own governments than war, plague or anything else.

Its impossible to have capitalism without private property (i.e capital). Assuming capitalists are right wing, then as soon as the state thinks it has the right to sieze private property without compensation then it fails to be right wing.

Hitler was a Fascist not a socialist; Fascism was based on a perversion of socialism coupled with State Corporatism and Nationalism; in essence it is a Totalitarian control based ideology. Try reading Socialist in Nazi as you may read Democratic in Republic of Congo or German Republic. It is where far right and far left meet. End of ideology analysis.

Back to the thread. There's a saying that sums it up 'believe 10% of what you hear and 100% of what you see'

Or in other words, for the dim witted (mentioning no names) the media all lie and unless you physically see or experience it it may not be true. It also means all reports or views are merely opinions until its happened.

Religion is that area where you come out with the most ridiculous statements because you can't hide your contempt for it.

It is true that old Adolf liked to use religion to support his political ideas. Just like Osama Bin Laden did. However you willfully ignore the fact that religious prisoners in the concentration camp had their own badge to identify them (i.e because there were so many of them in there). From memory of my visit to the camp, there were 6 categories in total. Jews (obviously), woofters, gypsies, political opponents, religious people and one other that escapes me. The fact that his regime murdered enough people precisely because they were religious should make you question whether he was really a man of faith... if you could try and remain objective about the subject.

"The BBC already got exposed for their biased reporting during the Scottish independence referendum. I really wasn't surprised by the crap they came out with during the EU referendum and the subsequent crap they have been coming out with since the result of the referendum. "

Yes, agreed, but it is "quality" crap, which after all, we do all pay for

Regardless of brexit the bbc or bpc as i call them (british paedo corporation) are a disgrace!

Still no meaningful inquiry into saville and all the other paedo activity they harboured and allowed to happen

Their 'news ' reporting is watered down left wing shite

They are the left wing metropolitan elite - i hate the bbc with a passion + i despise the fact we HAVE to pay the license fee even if you dont watch any bbc channels. Whatever your political views the fact we have to pay for something whether you watch their shite or not is a fuckin pisstake

Keep on consuming + keep on protecting good ol aunty beeb sheeple

Yes he was a Tory, a totalitarian dictator and a twat but not a fascist. He manipulated the Falange and the Monarchists to defeat Communism in Spain. He accepted help from Italy and Germany to do this yes but that help was given in the hope that he would join their side in WW2, which he refused to do. He was only interested in Spain and eventually returned the country to democracy. Now I am not defending the things he did but had the communists (fascists basically) taken over Spain then things would have turned out a lot worse

If you look up totalitarian dictator, you'll see the word fascist used next to it...

I like the way you say he returned democracy. Lol what 50 years later and he didn't anyway it was king Carlos who he put back on the throne that brought in the new constitution and democracy... Franco just oversaw sending his people to concentration camps for thirty years... Or gulags as you like to say.

The only thing that kept him in power was the shameful west who fucking sucked up to him because he hated the communists who were the new enemy, yeah your a fascist cunt who's murdering your own citizens but hey join NATO....

"Why all the reporting about Corbyns useless leadership (which I have say is true) and plotting against him then?

Are we to expect the reporters reporting this to be sacked because they're going against official bias guidelines?

Yes, the looney left will come on here swearing that BBC has a right wing bias.

But BBC is definitely left wing. Every week there's a thought piece article about how fucking great life in Cuba is or "the softer side of Stalin"

There are some on here that would complain about Hitler being too left wing though!

There's not actually a lot of difference between the far right and far left to be fair. Neither give a shit about private property and that's about as fundamental as it gets. "

You are so right, as in correct! Both left and right wing extremists demonstrate anti democratic behaviour. Neither tolerate discussion of anything apart from their own sacrosanct beliefs.

You couldn't get more of a man of faith and belief than Oliver Cromwell....I suggest you have a good look at his actions.

Now if you want to follow Jesus's preachings I'll happily call you religious, but I don't see many Christians doing it... In fact anybody accruing wealth isn't following the teachings are they?..

So yes Adolf fits perfectly into what could be called a religious person but never an atheist.... No atheist would write their own oath starting with I swear to almighty God?.

No you won't. Totalitarianism is about control which can cover a wide spectrum. Fascism implies a specific political ideology that emphasises state ideology above all things, the welfare of the state is primary whereas the welfare/rights of individuals are secondary or not considered at all.

Remind you of anywhere?

Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps Hitler was the type of person that said what he thought people needed to hear rather than being a stickler for objective truth?

I don't think anybody should access to firearms unless it's through a shooting club and then with any luck other members might be able to spot signs of mental illness coming on!.

It's not that I don't like guns or that I think there dangerous but I think a significant numbers of humans are twats and another significant number are likely to have a mental breakdown, therefore you need to restrict them as much possible without physically banning them because I'm even more anti ban than anti gun

You know, I must know about 40 or 50 farmers and I can only think of two who are shooters and they both shoot clays, there all too busy fucking farming to go out shooting animals, in fact one farmer I know actively protects "his" badgers, he'd probably shoot you if he caught you shooting them (buckshot obviously) he's not a tree hugger he just knows his badgers haven't got tb and he knows there fiercely territorial so no rogue badgers are "getting in" as far as he's concerned

"I'm not a snob I just can't stand idiots.... There's a difference

Exactly, it's only snobbish if you believe lower classes are stupid. Which is in itself, a snobbish belief. .

You know I love history, when you read enough of it it kinda blinds you but when you look back to people like whittle, Wallis, Mitchell, great pioneers of aviation, they were nearly all working class brought up "poorish" taught in grammar schools but nearly everyone of them attended apprenticeships with UK engineering firms... And the whole system seemed to be able to single out the bright ones and give them opportunities, except whittle who I think was rejected from the RAF for being a short ass.... There's hope for you yet

Don't forget napoleon

Didn't end well for him!

It's about the journey not the destination

unless you're using Ryanair?"

Headline 2:

"The inflation monster is stirring"

Kamal Ahmed, Economics editor, somehow manages to create an image of rampant inflation when its holding steady at 0.6% and of course within his piece blames Brexit. He says:

"Some economists are predicting inflation of 3% by the end of next year, above the Bank of England's target of 2%"

Without naming them? Basic Journalism surely? And forgetting to mention 'economists' were actually expecting the figure to be over 0.7%. The Retail Prices Index which includes mortgage interest payments, dropped to 1.8% in August from 1.9% in July. But no mention of that.

"Number 10 is watching nervously."

Is it? What when the inflation figures have actually remained static and are some 35% of the B of E monitoring figure?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37349812

I just think we are entitled to a far more accurate and independent assessment of news, events and politics from a taxpayer funded organisation?"

more bbc bashing for the sake of bashing.... i'm guessing not paying the license fee....

anyway i love it when you go on a rant like this, because you look at everything so singularly...

so taking ya points....

"somehow manages to create an image of rampant inflation when its holding steady at 0.6% and of course within his piece"

that because if you read for example, the FT, economist and bloomberg... as well as the bbc... it had been expected that inflation would have been 0.7 or 0.8% this month...

are we bashing them as well?

"Some economists are predicting inflation of 3% by the end of next year, above the Bank of England's target of 2%"

Without naming them? Basic Journalism surely?

you can always look at the last OBR set of figures where they did revise economist forcasts post brexit....

you can also look at the BoE last quarterly report where they did exactly the same..... even in the minutes of the last BoE monthly interest rate meeting, they mentioned it.......

are we bashing them as well???

"The Retail Prices Index which includes mortgage interest payments, dropped to 1.8% in August from 1.9% in July. But no mention of that."

remember that interest rate cut to 0.25%.... which lead to banks cutting mortgage rates..... ta daaaa!!!!!!

also in mid july energy firms cust gas and electric bills......

"I do hope everyone is equally as annoyed by the right-wing bias displayed by most of the written press in this country.

If it's a private newspaper it can do what it likes. I couldn't care less what the Guardian or Daily Fail write, you know what you're getting when you buy the paper. Tax funded media should be neutral though. "

Are any of these organisations you mention paying off a paedophile's victims using your money? The BBC has paid £262,250 to Jimmy Savile's victims. For that reason, I will continue to bash them at every given opportunity and continue to refuse to pay their license fee or watch their programmes.

Fabio your comments are getting less well researched as time goes on. Did you read the two examples I gave? No I suspect you didn't.

And for the record I do pay my licence fee and always have ... maybe get your facts right before making personal innuendo Old Son.

"In fairness I'm sat listening to Jeremy vine on radio 2 and the news guy just said ..... "Unemployment during and after the referendum fell again despite warnings from remainers saying it would rise"

whats your views on firearm holders with depression ? .

I don't think anybody should access to firearms unless it's through a shooting club and then with any luck other members might be able to spot signs of mental illness coming on!.

It's not that I don't like guns or that I think there dangerous but I think a significant numbers of humans are twats and another significant number are likely to have a mental breakdown, therefore you need to restrict them as much possible without physically banning them because I'm even more anti ban than anti gun

In Scotland there is a big business in deer stalking, many own guns for stalking home & abroad without use of gun clubs

you also have to consider farmers, game keepers etc

.

often farmers are the main candidates for depression .

You know, I must know about 40 or 50 farmers and I can only think of two who are shooters and they both shoot clays, there all too busy fucking farming to go out shooting animals, in fact one farmer I know actively protects "his" badgers, he'd probably shoot you if he caught you shooting them (buckshot obviously) he's not a tree hugger he just knows his badgers haven't got tb and he knows there fiercely territorial so no rogue badgers are "getting in" as far as he's concerned"

Presume the badgers voted brexit then...
