May 27, 20214 yr @1397935112084463620 Unbiased impartial broadcaster at work. I mean, come off it, that's hardly biased political reporting :lol: They literally say it's correct and then add some further content, hardly widespread political state sponsored bias.
May 28, 20214 yr and that's the subtle priming of their biases that generally is what we call out - they correct the opposition, who don't tell the whole picture and shouldn't be in government, while exactly reporting the words of the Conservative party, who have a god-given right to govern and have no need for such mortal quibbles as context. I don't know what relevance deaths per capita has to that statement except as a way to undermine Rayner's point, she said 'death toll'. @1397949136243134465 no seriously, where is the 'those numbers are correct but actually Malta has a higher rate of vaccination' if we're suddenly going to be misleadingly comparing countries?
May 28, 20214 yr Thanks Iz! This is a part of why many view it as a government propaganda mouthpiece. They are overly critical of opposition statements when the statement itself is perfectly correct (Rayner is right. We have the highest death TOLL in Europe. No additional context required) and report blatant falsehoods from the state as fact. This is fairly new to the UK wide stage but this is one of many things they been doing for years in Scotland to push unionist propaganda and talking points.
May 28, 20214 yr Love how they are so certain about the deaths prevented by the vac programme but not so sure about the deaths that occurred due to their terrible decisions!
June 25, 20214 yr :dance: Not sure where to put this but in terms of right wing incredibly biased "news" channels (although to call it news would be against the trade descriptions act), today we find out that GB News main star and only real political heavyweight Andrew Neil after just 11 days has decided to take a break for the rest of the summer. The "culture war" stoking channel which just a couple of days ago saw India Willoughby, a trans commentator, resigning saying that it was "demonising" trans people and caused several brands to boycott being featured has got off to a dreadful start with technical issues and terrible reviews. Oh well, a good news item for Friday finally.
June 25, 20214 yr Author Don't forget the corruption of them having the BBC defence analyst COINCIDENTALLY onbaord the ship that provoked the Russians days before the 1984-esque One Nation school song!
June 25, 20214 yr Author BBC News just has to close if we EVER get rid of this one party state. Having state news has proven inadequate in the face of the rise of the far right. It is just a slavish government mouthpiece.
June 28, 20214 yr well at least we can take solace in this hilarious headline: Metro - GB News viewing figures plummet behind Welsh language Paw Patrol (the original version of the article I saw was a Welsh site so it might just be Welsh viewing figures but still lmao) as bad as BBC News has gotten, at least it looks like Fox News But British is going to be a complete flop.
June 28, 20214 yr Author well at least we can take solace in this hilarious headline: Metro - GB News viewing figures plummet behind Welsh language Paw Patrol (the original version of the article I saw was a Welsh site so it might just be Welsh viewing figures but still lmao) as bad as BBC News has gotten, at least it looks like Fox News But British is going to be a complete flop. But it fulfilled its other purpose: convincing head Tory in charge of the BBTory that the public want even more right eing news lol. Questiontime can remain, along with all its Tory plants and Fiona Bruce supporting them and riling up the audiencr against Labour, but we can't have The Mash Report!

Although I refuse to watch it with them.
June 28, 20214 yr Let’s have no disrespect for Patrol Pawennau please. Much better content than GB News
March 10, 20232 yr I was sure this thread had been posted in more recently but clearly not, anyway, think it needs a bump after the events of today. Asides Lineker's censorship, even this has dropped the same day (it is a slightly misleading headline if you read the whole thing, but the optics certainly aren't great). I have given benefit of a doubt in the past but this and the clear Tory supporters in Chairman positions has made this beyond doubt that it's damaged. It's sad what's happening to one of the most cherished and important organisations we have, I really worry for their future as long as the Tories are in power, hopefully not much longer, but I'm not convinced the opposition will change much.
March 10, 20232 yr Author People like Popchartfreak were arguing with me over thr psst few years based on what THEY WANT the BBTory to be, and not what it actually IS. It is a government mouthpiece, akin to Russia today, and NOT the sort of thing a liberal democracy should have. It attacks the opposition, DOUBLES DOWN when the propaganda against the opposition has been shown to be fake (Panorama hit job on Corbyn, Virgin trains hit job on Corbyn), and never challenges any right wing statement. It is an absokute Tory DISGRACE. It has lost the right to ever ever rdport on news and current affairs.
March 10, 20232 yr This has angered me a lot. The free speech warriors out in force, complaining about free speech, how ironic.
March 10, 20232 yr Congratulations to Ian Wright and Alan Shearer who have both pulled out of tomorrow's MOTD in protest.

March 10, 20232 yr Author MASSIVE Tory Fiona Bruce was defened by thr BBTory roo, after saying Stanley Johnson's domestic abuse were both a a "one off" and also "incorrect". Shrodinger's Johnson! Btw, this is the same Tiry who riled up QT audiences agai st Corbyn's allies, most notably Dianne Abbott, and whose show somehow manages to find thr most right wing people and Tory plants even in Liverpool :lol:
March 10, 20232 yr It’s brilliant that Shearer and Wright are showing solidarity with Lineker. If only the viewers could boycott the show tomorrow as well but that’s probably asking too much.

I think you’d be surprised, Alex Scott has turned down presenting. Issue isn’t with the MOTD team, I suspect the producers are stuck big time here as it sounds like all the regulars are sticking up for Gary. I can only see Jermaine Jenas being stupid enough to do it, can’t say a way any of the others who normally cover doing it unless they’re forced to.
