Guest stevo Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) About time something is said imo. Personally I feel there coverage from the start to date has been a shameful display of bias. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39335904 Edited March 21, 2017 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandringstar Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Nothing new, time it was all broken up and sold off, they have way too much influence on the young, forming mind. Also they get all the best transmitters and dominate the airwaves with all their costly regional stations, both tv and radio. I believe anybody who went for a job at the bbc and was openly conservative, wouldn't get the job. I am a big advocate of U.S. radio, its light years ahead of us, ok you get adverts, but it isn't as bad on the radio, plus the bbc are always advertising their own products. I listen stateside all the time on Wi-Fi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 The BBC needs a complete overhaul. It used to stand for integrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Personally I feel there coverage from the start to date has been a shameful display of bias. Add Sky to that IMO, especially the presenters getting their point of view in at peek times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 However, having read the article the BBC are metaphorically raising 2 fingers to the mps in their answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I see they have moved the story from front page on there website within 25 mins and buried it out of the public eye so to speak. I can't find a link to it on there front web page. Bet they won't allow comments either. They would be hung out to dry 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besty57 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Like the line ,this is why the British public trust the BBC. Who are they trying to kid, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefor Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 However, having read the article the BBC are metaphorically raising 2 fingers to the mps in their answer ....and they haven't opened up the item to comments. The bias on the "news" on the BBC has, at times, been so appalling that I've switched it off. I want to hear the news - not someone's opinion of it.

Yellow Bear Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Maybe Its difficult to find anything positive to say about something so uncertain? They do, however, find plenty of negatives despite the uncertainty of the outcome. It's not difficulty it is remain bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srspower Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's not just the BBC news coverage it's their 'comedy' and even their unrelated shows on radio 4. I have NEVER heard anyone express an opinion or make a joke that was pro Brexit or Donald Trump on the BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandringstar Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 The bbc is totally instrumental to the left wing movement in this country, and always has been, anyone remember the director general at the time that said that the bbc was 'hideously white', he got away with it because there was no opposition to him, look at the salaries they get paid for spreading the poison. I remember a few years back, one director general dident cut it after only a few short months, he cried when he was told he was going, and it was decided to give him £1 million as he said he was worried about not having any money when he left. Arrogance is their top product, they couldn't make a non-bias piece about anything even by error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) The BBC has got the balance just right over Brexit. Some programs against it and others like the Daily Politics show pro. Nobody can accuse Andrew O'Neal of being a pro remainer. He is about as pro Brexit as you can get. The BBC has always been very right wing , but at least about Brexit they have got the balance right. The big problem is that many pro Brexit viewers have closed their minds to common sense and diccussion.
