BBC LEFT WING?? LETS LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE

Have you EVER listened to Radio 5 or Radio 4?  The News Quiz, anything at all to do with Islam?  When Lee Rigby was decapitated on the streets of Britain a Muslim phoned up Radio 5 to complain that they were due to visit Alton Tower on the Bank Holiday and that would now have to be cancelled as it wouldn't be safe for Muslims to out in public because of the public backlash and how upset their children were to be missing Alton Towers - I kid you not!

I man had just been murdered and someone phones up to complain about their kid missing a day out a f. theme park!?  All the presenter did was to agree with the caller how awful that was, and yet anyone who dared to call in and question Islam was repeatedly told that Islam was the "religion of peace", any questioning of violence of Sunni and Shi'a was quickly shut down.

It reeks of a leftie agenda from every pore - they sooner they more to a subscription based funding system the better.

I take it that the Guardian is the BBC equivalent of newspaper.
I have heard that whenever a crime that involves Operation Trident is reported on the on-line version, the comments box remains closed.

It is quite amazing the fundamental dishonesty of leftie liberals. They are fanatical in their ways and quite
prepared to twist anything to their agenda.

Is is not possible to view the BBC as anything other than left/liberal unless you are capable of being dishonest
even to yourself.

Thankyou Mr Slicer :-)

Ha of course, Dr. :-)

An old gentleman of my acquaintance is very politically minded, however he doesn't particularly lean in any direction. He is always writing to politicians and newspapers and the BBC whenever anything bothers him. One of the longest and most fruitless sessions of correspondence was with the BBC (and a couple of MP's), about this very subject.
He said he wanted established proof that the BBC has a leftward bias as is often mooted, as it has always seemed to him that the corporation is a bit on the Conservative side.
He got no joy, as he told me at length whilst naming people and offering sound anecdotal evidence. He is completely adamant, as am I, that to put it in a nutshell - Pandora is absolutely right.

lfc, I am NOT fundamentally, or in any other form, dishonest. Your sweeping generalisation that anyone who disagrees with your, almost certainly incorrect, assertion is a liar is reprehensible.

Not that I'm clear as to what, exactly, a "leftie liberal" is.

The BBC is virtually an arm of the Tory party, it always has been. Through some adept 'marketing' and misinformation it manages to maintain this whilst indirectly purporting to be a assist to the 'left.
So, I reckon this makes the BBC, and its ignorant, unswayable, right-wing bedfellows more likely to be the ones lying. To themselves as well as to everyone else.

Plenty of ignorant and misinformed peopul in Britain! Just watch Question Time, any political programme and any quiz show!

I agree completely Doctor, or just look at how many elementary grammar and spelling mistakes one sees every day on sport forums.

The Question Time audience is defo a case where the lefties rule.  Despite the picking of guests and the questioning by Dimbleby being pretty much centralist.  It is clear from the whooping and hollering for any lefty argument and the far more sedate clapping for a tory argument where the sentiments of the audience lie.  Load of right on lefty student sorts.  The news, newsnight and most stuff on the beeb does a good job of not being party political imo.

The guardian is my paper of choice too. A great substitute when I run out of Andrex. Andrex is also a more interesting read!

Tokenism, rob, isn't a lefty thing. It's a stupid thing.
I've often thought that students are predominantly 'leftish' because they are still young and ideological enough to want some fairness in society. Before they get too old and cynical and realise you can't really change anything and those with the wealth make the rules. That said, there are plenty of right wing students. Many of whom have been cosseted and don't know what it's like to be skint or to struggle. Guess where many of these students end up?

btw, fwiw, I have NEVER ever read the Guardian. I wonder if it's any good.

Er-It's Dr Slicer. I didn't spend 26 years at university just to be called Mister.
I hope this clarifies the matter!

Where do you spend your time now ?

(apart from the Betfair Chit Chat forum)

Wtf are you on about now taxi?

When you start a long post like that with the word "so" i guess you are just putting words into someone elses mouth.

Think the BBC do a good job to be honest - judging by the number of 'offendeds' from across the political spectrum in the little snapshot above, I'd say I'm right too!
