Posted November 4, 20195 yr A thread for egregious examples of pro government BBTory bias. We can't list every example as it never ends. This week: Bojo got booed out of a hospital. BBTory buried the story. Corbyn was greeted at a hospital. BBTory: Corbyn is politicising the nhs. Sigh. I guess it's only not politicising it when you're privatising it. Complaining about privatisation is politicisation.
November 4, 20195 yr Well, I posted this in the Labour thread but to rejoice in this thread let's put it here: Corbyn hasn’t even been safe from the ‘bastion of independent journalism’ the BBC. The London Economic reported news that one of Britain’s leading barristers has evidence of BBC bias against Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Jolyon Maugham QC, director of the Good Law Project alleged that the BBC has indulged in showing “coded negative imagery” of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn since his election in 2015. Even this week, BBC Panorama produced what is widely regarded as a hatchet job on Jeremy Corbyn and anti-Semitism within the Labour party. Oh, and by the way: the first person to respond with the 'well if both the right-wing and the left-wing complain about the BBC it must be in the middle' gets a VERY withering look.
November 4, 20195 yr Author Remember the Russian hat gate? BBTory cleared itself over it, and that is part of the problem! It dismisses criticism.

November 16, 20195 yr Relevant Guardian opinion article: The Tories can't win without the right-wing press - This isn't how democracy works It is the challenge of the left not simply to bemoan the power of the rightwing press, but to circumnavigate it. It is a bit like complaining about the right being better funded, or wealthy people buying access. It’s incontestable but it’s not going to change any time soon. It is as baked into the analysis of the system as privilege is baked into the system itself. Sharing it because it's an interesting read about how devoid of democratic process our press is, but also to make a point that we need to be fighting back rather than just moaning about it. Grassroots campaigning and new media (from online print publications to a rise of video makers, we can share and drown out the noise of the reality-devoid right-wing points.
November 16, 20195 yr Author Labour has complained to Ofcom about the pro-Tory bias at Murdoch's Sky News! It is hard ro fight against the anti-democratic FLOODS of misinformation and propaganda (and their ignoring of Tory gaffes/ problems). It takes over the discourse and brainwashes the simple-minded, thr gullible, and people who don't even have access to the internet to see our videos and left media in the first place! Look at common sense! He's completely far gone. Completely brainwashed.
November 16, 20195 yr Labour has complained to Ofcom about the pro-Tory bias at Murdoch's Sky News! Rupert Murdoch doesn't own Sky News. Fox sold its share in Sky last year.

November 18, 20195 yr @1196387810967769089 @1196400588977836037 Absolutely no bias in this reporting at all — the tone is completely impartial.
November 18, 20195 yr The utter bias!! You can tell she's a Tory. @1196401523254841344 It really is tiring.
November 18, 20195 yr I don't watch BBC News anymore - Channel 4 News is a lot better plus they give an hour for the news which means that they can cover it in much more depth/detail.
November 18, 20195 yr Author People are asking C4 to investigate BBTory bias. It's bad. We have a state propaganda channel, just likr Russia, Iran and North Korea.
