Would love to see that. Sadly, there'll never be enough people in this country with enough dislike of the BBC to ever hit them where it hurts. Shame though. I detest the BBC (not just because of the subject in question by the way). Go on, what other aspects p-ss you off?

You think Trump is a good choice for POTUS? What you or I think is besides the point with regard to bias on the BBC.

If you view these clips you will not find any anti-trump bias. There is no commentary and they appear and speak as they are. The BBC cannot edit this man into a nice smiling Ronald Reagan he is as he is.

Sure, I watch a lot of re-runs of old BBC shows, it has televised some truly great stuff, but these days there is nothing at all that I would watch. And also, as I mentioned, there seems to be an awful lot of paedophilia associated with the BBC. I'm not equipped with enough of the facts, but it does seem awfully suspicious that so many sexual predators were able to get away with it for so long...

I watched The Wright Stuff on Channel 5 this morning and the left wing bias was staggering. What happened to balance? There no point in arguing that the tabloids are Right wing because their circulation is tiny in comparison to television viewers.

The use of the word 'mock' in the headline....completely inappropriate. The BBC choice of headline and commentary in the article is obviously what I'm referring to.

In defence of the BBC, I think back in the 70s, they really were the biggest employer in terms of entertainment and broadcasting in the UK - ITV was largely regionalised, and consisted of a lot of fairly small scale operations. I think it was a Pre-late 80s thing, where peoples sexual politics were more 'if I can justify this in a court of law, then its moral and ethically right'. ITV however does seem to have cornered the market in Wife Beating Alcoholics. So maybe the reason they're under represented in child fiddling offences is that they were all under restraining orders?

I don't watch ITV either. Take Me Out and Emmerdale aside.

This article barely touches on Clinton. All it says is she represents continuity, as if the US didn't make heaps of errors under her authority as Secretary of State.
I ain't got nuthin' funny to say. Sorry. |

Trump isn't Hitler and to even make this comparison shows where the real lunacy comes from. To compare Trump with Hitler is not lunacy. Both share absurd haircuts, both express racist views, both spoke publicly through angry tirades, both are sexist and misogynistic, both appealed the lowest common denominator and both are rabid power mongers. The BBC isn't biased against Trump, it's only reporting what's out there. We all need to hope and pray the madman doesn't win.

Well more liberal bias, but yes. There is a cross over of Left and liberal. Those on the Left of politics tend to be more liberal. Call it what you like the prejudice is everywhere in broadcasting.
