ICTJohnboy Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 8 minutes ago, Granny Danger said: Watched the first 15 minutes of Sky News at 7.00 now watching the BBC one. Sky offering critical analysis; BBC giving Johnson’s speech followed by a Tory loyalist MP and now s deputy editor of the Spectator. The Tory MP making unchallenged statements and the Spectator wifey avoiding a pertinent question. Channel 4 is the nearest you'll get to an impartial news presenter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 If the BBC is this massively biased right wing institution as alleged, it's worth noting that the whole of Newsnight was warning Corbyn against going along with a Johnson led General Election. So many bluffs going on, doubles, trebles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophia Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I read that they're pulling the media review and I think we'll be the poorer without it. This half hour on a Thursday lunchtime has been the best of listening for the enlightened views of Eamonn O'Neill and Stuart Cosgrove. Anna Burnside also contributed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Journalists need to spin the news out to cope with 24 hour coverage, so I suppose asking the same questions and repeating the same statements over and over again is inevitable. That said, why are the continually asking/claiming that the decision to Leave is the same as deciding to Leave with no deal? It has been asked and answered hundreds of times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTTGOYN for me is when they've been covering something on a loop for the past 6 hours yet the scroll bar at the bottom still has it described as "Breaking News...". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 HYS now getting quite interesting, as the Remain percentage grows ever bigger and the Brexiteers become increasingly rabid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 HYS now getting quite interesting, as the Remain percentage grows ever bigger and the Brexiteers become increasingly rabid. I noticed this as well. All the top-rated comments are pro-Remain (or anti-Boris) by around 2-1 or more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Not that it was really required, but this thread more than confirms that rugby and cricket are the drizzling shits. Supporting your biggest rivals international team? Get that absolutely fucked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Maybe not 'bias' as such but still annoying. The BBC news announced the result of the women's golf as taking place at 'Gleneagles, in Scotland' They would NOT have said (for instance) at 'the Belfry, in England'. (it's never actually been held in England) This is by no means the only instance of this practice. It's the BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation but they just cannot stop being England-centric and catering for that audience. ETA I posted similar on the BBC website, got reported, eventually posted but downvoted. Quelle surprise.

It annoys the sh*t out of me when they say "Dundee, Scotland" and yet in the next report its "Billericay" or "Torquay". They feel obliged to let their ingurlander audience know the story is about somewhere they've hardly heard of or indeed care about. My brother has lived in the south of ingurland for over 30 years and its also something he still gets pissed off with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
