Personally I think it should be made to stand up on its own two feet and take away the licence fee. I begrudge paying for something I dont use. I never listen to BBC radio stations and cannot remember the last time I watched a BBC programme | |||

"Deffinatly left wing PC , Remain Biased !" Have you checked it over the last month? the regular reporters have been more to the tories and more to leave - or portraying the EU negatively. Of course there are going to be pieces which are pro-remain and more left leaning. Someone did the maths I believe and worked out that since the start of the year tge tories and UKIP have sucked up about 2 thirds of the BBC politics airtime and publishments, whilst labour and the left wing parties take up the remaining third. There will always be a mix of opinion on the beeb which is good, but ultimately it will always be atleast half pro-governing party agenda. | |||

"Since the election has been announced we havent watched one news programme and its great, we rarely read newspapers either. Plenty of other ways of getting news without having to put up with the interviewers who want to make a name for themselves rather than ask decent questions. To be honest I'm not sure which are worse the politicians or journalists or which started the slide into the dismal tv we have now. the other day I was reading the front page of the times the day the first WW broke out, oh how different from the spiced/ sexed up crap produced now. Wouldnt worry me if I never saw one telly programme ever again " I do agree that journalism has lost it's edge now. There is a reason I'm happy to pay for a subscription to the Economist and New Scientist. I put it down to the 24 hour nature of news, they know if someone fucks up on reporting something it will be forgotten in two days time or overshadowed. | |||

"The BBC. What do we think of them . I put them high on the list of misinformation and manipulation." Even though they are fully trained, professional journalists? Even though they have ethical editorial oversight? Even though they have an independent ombudsmen who ensures their balanced out put? Even though they have to publish corrections when wrong? Even when they have both internal as well as independent complaints procedures for the public to hold them to account? Out of interest OP, which news source do you trust that has all of the above? | |||

During the Scottish independence referendum a study showed more hours coverage was given to the Pro unionist side, whilst the nationalists got less coverage. There was a gathering/protest outside BBC headquarters in Scotland by SNP supporters about it during the Scottish referendum. Then during the EU referendum another study showed more hours coverage was given to the Remain campaign. So yes the BBC is clearly biased. Personally I can't stand the obsession the BBC seem to have with seeing to be politically correct all the time. It needs to drop the politically correct agenda and when it comes to things like referendums an equal amount of coverage should be given to both sides. | |||

It is a fairly common journalistic norm to put some kind of description in from of the persons name. What is youe criticism of this practice exactly? | |||

"For as long as I can remember I've heard people claim the BBC has a bias either to the Right or Left. But people never give any examples,which makes the whole conversation pointless. " The BBC attempted to link the riot in the immigrant neighbourhood of Rinkeby, Sweden in late February directly to Trump's "Last night in Sweden" comment: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39047455 The riot (a very well known tactic by drug dealers and their associates) occurred after police attempted to arrest a local drug dealer. The smug BBC, Sky etc. of course never bothered to send an investigative reporter to Sweden because they don't do investigative reporting anymore because it can upset the doctrine of political correctness. | |||

During the Scottish independence referendum a study showed more hours coverage was given to the Pro unionist side, whilst the nationalists got less coverage. There was a gathering/protest outside BBC headquarters in Scotland by SNP supporters about it during the Scottish referendum. Then during the EU referendum another study showed more hours coverage was given to the Remain campaign. So yes the BBC is clearly biased. Personally I can't stand the obsession the BBC seem to have with seeing to be politically correct all the time. It needs to drop the politically correct agenda and when it comes to things like referendums an equal amount of coverage should be given to both sides. " While i do agree with that you said about the Scottish independence referendum and the coverage was given to the Pro unionist side more. I will point this out you said SNP supporters gathered to protest outside BBC headquarters in Scotland that is wrong the truth is the YES movement did protect as their was no parties. Did you know there is Scottish Green supporters that are pro indy same with the Scottish Socialist Party are you claiming they are all SNP now ? As for the BBC bunch of dickheads and anyone willing to give them the £147 more fool you but there is plenty of other things that money could go on that give those dickheads any money same with SKY they can get to fuck too | |||

"...So would you prefer people get their news from sources like YouTube or blogs where there no independent board, complaints procedure or apologies? No ombudsmen? No IPSO? " There were anti government/police riots by rioters in Paris and other parts of France in February of this year. When I put the phrase "BBC Paris riots 2017" into Google Videos I got one hit. When I did the same for youtube I discovered the truth... including rioters FILMING THEMSELVES. I suppose sending a reporter with a mobile phone/camera on a two and a half hour Eurostar trip to Paris (or Sweden...or Rotherham) from Broadcasting House is just too far and too expensive for the BBC!? The fact is of course that BBC bias is proven by what it chooses NOT to report as much as what it actually does report. | |||

So what balanced analysis did these rioters give you to help you better understand the issues involved? What proof do you have that the scenes you saw were indeed Paris riots in 2017? Could they have been from a difderent city? A different country? A different time? A different situation entirely from what they had titled their video? If you have a complaint about what was in the video, what statutory complaints procedures are open to you? | |||
