No, but the Government for a time during the Troubles did order the BBC not to broadcast the voices of some democratically elected Politicians in NI.

There can't possibly be anyone who actually thinks that the reporting standards on the BBC and RT are equivalents? I mean, that would be a completely ridiculous argument to make. 

Or indeed, anyone who actually thinks the behaviour of the British and Russian governments are similar.

I know for a fact that the BBC used to get Sinn Fein spokesmen to do their own voice overs instead of hiring an actor, in "London"Derry anyway.

3. Yeah, that will be why every military conflict the UK has been involved in in living memory has had BBC war and political reporters scrutinising and criticising actions of British military, diplomatic and political actors live on television.

Can't seem to find any BBC reports on the atrocities committed by the British in Kenya. Can you help as you mentioned the BBC scrutinised    the actions of the British military in living memory

BBC article on Mau Mau torture

And about 50 years for the BBC to report it

I don't think anyone is claiming this. People are merely pointing out the hypocrisy. Let's not pretend that everything broadcast on RT is bullshit and everything on the BBC is reported honestly and without an agenda.

The BBC ran a show for years that did everything it could to protect children. Yet Esther Rantzen managed to miss famous pedos  using the same effin studio.

BBC impartial, you having a giraffe?

...And Mr Dillon, an 18-year corporation veteran who introduced the then groundbreaking Talkback programme to Radio Ulster over 30 years ago, further claimed that the Beeb's Northern Ireland newsroom "relied almost exclusively on information supplied by RUC and British Army press offices".

Perhaps the IRA/INLA and UDA/UDF weren't quite as sharing at the time. 

[Glenconner]

Every government and its news agencies use propaganda even diddy governments in Edinburgh or Belfast.

Sorry but some here are just fucking deluded.

But it's exactly the argument that some morons here are making.

Russian government = Anatol Gogol.

British government = Frank fucking Spencer.

So, eh, nah.

I still don't see the problem the public has with it tbh.  I watch a lot of things produced by FOX, love their sports productions doesn't mean credence is given to the bull shit FoxNews comes out with.  

 

The reason the UK media has a problem is because he Salmond would be able to say what he likes and the BBC, STV etc. won't be able to do a hatchet job on the reporting as they have known to do often.

What if you are an independence supporter who is uncomfortable with this decision?
That was where this thread was before people started screaming BBC! at anyone who held a differing opinion.

You don't have to like it, you can even fairly say it is not the choice you would have made but, you do have to say why it's so so unimaginably terrible but Theresa May genuflecting before Paul Dacre, is not.

Again I posted about May and Dacre in another thread.
It's still not an either or.

Yes it is.

Either the country's political pundits heads all collectively exploded over May licking the balls of the worst right wing hate rag in the country or it didn't.

Nicola is the leader now and Alex should do as he is told/advised.
