Trump still hasn't even recovered from his behaviour towards the family of the war hero. If there's one thing patriotic americans don't like, its the belittling of those in uniform or their families. He did it here and he did it by mocking the torture of John Mccain.

I get the anti establishment vote brigade and see that as a fair reason to go against the grain but it's also clearly a bigot's pipe dream that Trump will win. We're more likely to see a Clinton landslide than a Trump victory and I'm not even a fan of the woman.

There are plenty of criticisms of Hillary Clinton. The choice of stories are completely the decisions of editors and producers.

Only in your head could balanced become 'a very subjective and slanted understanding of what being unbiased means' and frankly you deserve criticism for it.

Don't attempt to speak for me, you don't know my political positions. I'm not a Trump supporter or a Clinton one. I, however don't like the absurd levels of Clinton bias in a publicly funded institution.

Anyone willing to look into the email scandal and the punishments for similar rule breaking would see that Clinton got off extremely lightly.....She was done a favour and it stinks.

I believe in fairness of treatment. There are plenty of stories centred around Clinton from her dubious past, to her treatment of staff, to her obvious health problems to questions over corruption in relation to company payments to the Clinton foundation....something Wikileaks were talking about on the other week. Also questionable decision making during her time as secretary of State.

You saying that relevant issues aren't there for Clinton is a completely biased perspective. Sure she is more politically correct than Trump who makes for easy and lazy copy. I'm not sure how positive that aspect is.

Of the here and now both her health issues and Wikileaks commentary upon her dodgy connections to Russia are relevant.....If this were the case with Trump I'm certain the BBC would be all over it.

Criticism of Trump is of course fair, but what is notable is the lack of balance and bias in the reporting and the choice of editors to ignore the major issues around Clinton to anything like the same degree.

Why would I?

I'm quite sure that this view will be vindicated in time.

The Jamaican team have quite a few scandals around their sprinting squad.....lets say this, if the truth over Bolt isn't revealed within five years I'll retract it.

As a point to make Kermy it doesn't exactly make a lot of sense. I'm not in the media and I'm not being paid by the taxpayer....Perhaps if I were I would think twice before publicising that view. I feel that perhaps that reflects the position of some.

As for fairness over Bolt....fairness in relation to what? Are you saying that incredulity over sprint times means you aren't allowed to state a view that they are drug inspired? I'm not writing for a newspaper here.

It's a black and white issue.

In all senses of the words.

No wonder I was emailed when I got into it with this guy about his 'critique' of Ali and told not to bother because he had 'previous'. If he spent 1/10 of the time on his narcissism that he does fixating on whatever minority is passing through that would be something. Caring about fairness? Yeah, of whatever bigot is in the spotlight that he has an affinity for. Talk about 'in your own image'. Give me a break.

Errr....just remind me Kermy, is Britain apart of the continent again? You can't even get common sense half the time.

I admit I was wrong over Saville.....and those are your words in characterization not mine, in case anyone thinks otherwise.

I also never said Bolt was guilty until proven innocent. I just have an opinion. Bolt ran 10.03 one year and 9.69 the next back in 2007. You believe if you like.

I just think your judgement is seriously flawed and time will tell.
