They justed show a mob trying to force a gate down on the macedonian border, the police on the other side remain calm until the mob, using implements, start to physically break the gate down, and then, as a last resort, they fire AFAIK a single tear gas canister into the mob.
The BBC reporters response is ... to show a sad kid who'd got some in her eyes, boo hoo.
The implication of course being that the macedonians are bad for protecting their own border,
Not that her parents are bad for placing kids close enough to this rioting mob in the first place for tear gas to affect her.
FFS. What are the macedonians supposed to do if they've a mob forcing their way through?
Just lie down and throw open their gates because protecting their borders affects BBC sensibilities?

And just to drive home their point, they returned to the on site correspondent, who informed us
that 6 children had been affected by the tear gas.
No figures were available on how many adults were affected, or how many non Syrians were in the crowd.
We did get a nice shot of a woman cooking on an open fire though.

I shudder to think how channel 4 news will cover this. Snow in tears, demanding Mscedonia be taken to the UN and the rioters get compensation?
Having watched the clip again on the 10pm news, the BBC hand wringers make a thing about the fact the tear gas cannister hits a migrant. That'll be the guy at the front of the mob, who as he is hit, was literally mid throwing something straight at the police a few feet away?
You don't have to be a nutter to hate the BBC, they twist the news the way they want.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the BBC if Trump gets in the white house, almost certain that state funding on the scale of the BBC is against world trade laws
I am still reeling from the BBC Sport headlines a few days ago.
A mixed day for England's cricketers….the Men's team were thrashed by South Africa, but the Women's team had a victory over Team B.

It's madness isn't it?
The lionisation of the unruly and the thuggish, as if the very act of claiming refugee status (never, ever challenged by any mainstream media to my knowledge) confers moral superiority and therefore a tolerance of 'anything goes'.
Usually I'm very wary of blaming victims - it's the classic defence used by the bully and powerful - but in this case it's hard to tell who the victims are.

I think children ( some under 5) being tear gassed are definitely the victims.
Indeed Facts, I mean some of them have come hundreds of miles, through benign countries, where their human rights would be respected and they could have engaged with a well tried and tested refugee programme, enshrined in UN law.
Instead the little mites are forced to take part in lawless mob antics, in front of TV cameras. I mean where there's a near-riot going on, what parent or responsible adult wouldn't be distancing children as far away as possible from this kind of danger?

That's true Facts but who are they the victims of?
The tear gas was fired in an attempt to subdue a crowd of people who were attempting to subvert the rule of law by rioting and breaking down a border defence. Those who fired the tear gas were asserting their right to the defence of their legal borders against those who wished to enter their country by force.
Whoever was responsible for the children being there in the middle of a violent situation at that particular time, when they were, in fact, already in a safe country, are the ones responsible for the children's distress and exposure to danger and harm.

Understand that. But with the panic instilled in everyone and the rush and possibility of seeing an opportunity to get through the fence, the family would need to be all together. It would be a lost cause, for ,say, the father and /or mother to be at the forefront, and then have to run back and fetch the children, missing an 'escape' opportunity.

The police involved in this will have to be very careful. They may be in danger in the future of malicious claims for damages once these people get citizenship of the EU.
They may even face criminal prosecution from leftists and liberal lawyers funded by tax payers money and their own politicians and government, along with Brussels will turn their backs and allow, even encourage it.
Nobody should consider themselves part of, or have any responsibility to any country now.

Can't resist the cheap jibe, Facts, but I presume you got the lowdown of the hellish turmoil first hand from the refugees you are putting up in your gaff!

Tbf Facts, you made a cheap attempt to gain the moral high ground by your claim that you would gladly open the doors of your house to refugees... something which you obviously haven't actually followed up with by real action in doing so... In the end it was just an exercise in shameless lefty posturing wasn't it?
All mouth in telling everyone how cruel and evil they are in pointing out a few inconvenient truths. Good job. Well done.

Jo Coburn on Daily Politics today. They fired tear gas at children. Unbelievable reporting.
Hopefully, people haven't been dumbed down to such a level that they cannot see through the mass media agenda

Twice in less than 24 hours the BBC have said that, the previous one was I think Skeletor on newsnight last night interviewing some politician from Macedonia.
I switched on the 10pm news there, sure enough, camera following kids around like a creepy Jimmy S.
It's so biased. The macedonians seem to have put up some nice bales of razor wire. If the parents throw their kids on that, will it be the macedonian's fault as well?

to be fair, these are bbc reporters, so they were probably only lining this child up for a gang rape session.

not an expert on pedophiles or bbc procedure, but i'm guessing they would get off on some footage of a helpless child weeping, before they get on with the hard core stuff.
Off topic, but yesterday Talksport announced that Victoria Pendelton had won her first horse race, as a jockey.
Presumably, she had some previous, but lesser publicised victories ...as a horse.

I don't mind women covering women's sports but they had the highlights of Rugby League on Monday hosted by a woman I've never seen in my life. Do women even play Rugby League?
The BBC are getting themselves into their predictable lather re Trump.
Even ran a story about his hair/wig.
It truly is pathetic in the extreme.
No coverage and I mean zilch of the impending nepotism to beat all nepotism with Clinton following her impeachable husband into the White House.
Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons. Land of the free my arse.

Did Bonio or The Boomtown Rat house any refugees? I'm pretty sure they were offering a few months ago. If they did I can just see their PR people selecting the lucky souls, probably a family where the father and mother are both doctors and 2 young children, not any of what seems to be the majority I see crossing borders - single men in their twenties.
BBC vilification of Trump is laughable...... along with channel 4.
Don't they realise that the Americans don't give a flying feck what the liberal British media think?

Mid day news had a load of male migrants and two of them were holding infants up above their heads and waving them about, clearly for the benefit of the cameras, and of course, that's what the BBC cameras were focusing on. They know what the medya want to show to get opinion on the migrant side, and they provide it.
Re. Trump - two days ago (on Super Tuesday), the BBC OPENED the main evening news with the words....
..."How to stop the Trump juggernaut?"
Since when is it their business to take a side in another country's general election? It wasn't, "how to stop the Clinton juggernaut?".
I'm no particular fan of Trump, but I was appalled that the BBC would be so blatant in opposing a candidate in presidential election. Not that DJT would give a flying fck what the Beeb thinks.
They should report the news. Not give their political bias. If the luvvies in charge don't like it, then tough sh!t. Like it or not, the USA is a democracy, and if the majority of 300million people pick elect someone, they shouldn't be so openly critical of it.

It seems that Trump is attracting support from all sectors of the US population, yet the impression the medya here want to give is that he's only liked by a few ultra-right nutters. It doesn't seem to add up.
"Newsnight' is shamelessly anti-Trump.
They've even suspended their normal extensive coverage of non-issues affecting Pretendy Women to make time to bleat about why oh why do people like Trump's ideas.

BBC are pure filth.
The director-general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has been suspended over his personal views on Brexit, according to the Financial Times.
John Longworth told BCC's annual conference on Thursday that the UK's long-term prospects could be "brighter" outside the EU.
The BCC's official line is that it will not campaign for either side as its membership is split.
The BCC said it had no comment.
I would like to know what % of bbc employees are not left wingers, would make interesting reading. Even the comics have to be lefties.

Just been away for two weeks and only news i've seen was BBC world news and MSNBC
The difference in the coverage of the USA race was huge
MSNBC-Trump comes under pressure from candidates after latest debate
BBC- Trump savaged in debates
USA tv poll had Trump winning the debate
BBC presenter on other news(what little it was outside of Africa) The Himarghlee,ererers and Monty video for Argentina
says my pronunciation needs to change(aswell as my spelling)

AN AIRPLANE WAS ABOUT TO CRASH; THERE WERE 5 PASSENGERS ON BOARD, BUT ONLY 4 PARACHUTES.
THE FIRST PASSENGER, HOLLY MADISON SAID, "I HAVE MY OWN REALITY SHOW AND I AM THE SMARTEST AND PRETTIEST WOMAN AT PLAYBOY, SO AMERICANS DON'T WANT ME TO DIE."SHE TOOK THE FIRST PACK AND JUMPED OUT OF THE PLANE.
THE SECOND PASSENGER, JOHN MCCAIN, SAID, "I'M A SENATOR, AND A DECORATED WAR HERO FROM AN ELITE NAVY UNIT FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." SO HE GRABBED THE SECOND PACK AND JUMPED.
THE THIRD PASSENGER, DONALD TRUMP SAID, "I AM GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, I AM THE SMARTEST MAN IN OUR COUNTRY, AND I WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" . SO HE GRABBED THE PACK NEXT TO HIM AND JUMPED OUT.
THE FOURTH PASSENGER, BILLY GRAHAM, SAID TO THE FIFTH PASSENGER, A 10-YEAR-OLD SCHOOLGIRL, "I HAVE LIVED A FULL LIFE AND SERVED MY GOD THE BEST I COULD. I WILL SACRIFICE MY LIFE AND LET YOU HAVE THE LAST PARACHUTE. "
THE LITTLE GIRL SAID, "THAT'S OKAY, MR. GRAHAM. THERE'S A PARACHUTE LEFT FOR YOU. THE SMARTEST MAN IN AMERICA TOOK MY SCHOOL SATCHEL ."

Amazing from beeb 6 o'clock news.
They just allocated all of 5 seconds to warn us that is is may be planning large scale attacks on Western countries

Yes Mecca I noticed that, worse again the warning is coming from Scotland Yards head of counter-terrorism and involved IS targetting the "Western Lifestyle".
First 10 minutes or so concerned the migrant crisis and then the very sad story of the youngfella stabbed to death, then the very quickly glossed over "warning", they were very careful to keep the migrants and warning split from each other i thought.
A slight aside but given that it is Monday evening very disappointing that their summary of Wednesday weather amounted to the words "it is complicated of yet", maybe but it is just over a day away.

Snow and co on channel 4 are worse Christian guru Murphy my arse.
I agree Channel 4 is the worst of all of them. Tonight we had one of them on and he said, and I quote, that last year Merkel letting everyone who wants to come in was "The best of Europe", and now Europe having a political reaction against this to stop the mass migration is "The worst of Europe".
You can't really get a more explicit revelation of what they think about it all than that.

As concerns grow about the BBC’s impartiality regarding the European Union (EU), a new complaints website has been launched to hold the BBC’s coverage of the forthcoming referendum to account and expose anti-Brexit bias in its programming.
“Extensive academic work has shown that the BBC is massively biased against withdrawal from the EU. It is required by law to be impartial, but is not. At the same time, its complaints procedure is not fit for purpose. It is designed only to protect the BBC. With the EU referendum now fast approaching, it is vital that pressure is applied to force it to become properly fair.”

I've stopped wathing channel 4 news regularly now but I like flicking over to see if, they are doing something like interviewing some radical non-white feminist student activist about diversity or some other such sh*te, and chances are: they will be. It's disappeared up its own *rse.
Case in point right now, if you are watching it. Classic channel 4 news.
I see the Archbishop of Canterbury story about migration has disappeared from the main news page the England news page, all within 4 hours of its start.
''John Longworth told BCC's annual conference on Thursday that the UK's long-term prospects could be "brighter" outside the EU.
The BCC's official line is that it will not campaign for either side as its membership is split.''
How can they know that if their members aren't allowed to comment?

That was the lead news story this morning at 6:00 AM on the Today programme.
Nothing in the headlines about it on the TV BBC News at Six tonight
I wonder which one has the largest audience?
