Judging by the amount of knives they just stuck into him on the 6pm news.

It was anything but an impartial news report,savage attack on him.
15 minutes on American election,just over a minute on how many Tesco bank account holders had their accounts compromised, a lot more relevant, very poor. |

why so much on usa election when we are in uk ?
its just overkill, too many gravytrainers on jollies in usa next to nothing about mother theresa in india and or reaction to proposed debate on brexit nothing on rip off food suppliers or state of uk had to switch it off , ffs |

It was like a "best of" of everything they could think of that was bad for Trump.
No such "best of" of bad moments for Hilary! |

But vote for her - we then get the first woman president. Just like we got the first non-black black president ha haa!!
Will trump throw the kitchen sink at her and tell her to get behind it !!!! |

I would

C4 news is on. Notoriously unbiased and impartial, I'm sure it'll give trump a fairer hearing

If Hitler was standing against Ghandi and the BBC hinted it might be better if people voted for Ghandi there would be people on here complaining of bias

I'll say this much the nazis, the SS never walked around in a man sized nappy

That's a fair point

Fife it is their job to report unbiased. the BBC have nothing to do with an American election though it has generated a bit of interest, they went back again at approx 6.20-6.26 to give more on it.
As said above it must be a slow news day,though the time they gave that a bank was hacked and a large percentage of customers savings were stolen didn't merit more air time beggars belief,why was it glossed over? Maybe pandering to big business/banks wish not to create a certain amount of hysteria? Priorites wrong imo. |
|
By:
The tesco stuff probably wasn't covered much as the only bad financial news the BBC are interested in is news they can blame on Brexit.
I'm sick of all sorts of bias from the BBC. Trump is a tw*t but their pro-EU or pro-migrant bias being totally beyond what's reasonable. |
|
By:
I think they have been reasonably fair its just that despite both candidates being unlikeable Trump has made more faux pas and therefore comes across worse when being analysed.
|
|
By:
sounds like the zealots are preparing for defeat; nobody with any real sense could vote for trump despite the obvious doubts about clinton - she might prove to be a disaster but he most certainly would be
|
|
By:
The problem is political bias generally means (for the BBC) being impartial regarding the Tories, Labour and libs (the establishment reps)
All Parties have been pro EU and pro immigration and anti Trump. So the BBC has loosened it's tie, regarding it's commitment to the Royal Charter need for impartiality. Never the less, they have deviated away from what is reasonable, as you say JC. |
|
By:
BBC used to be fair,it has gone very luvved up,as said above it is becoming a dead loss and not sure i can even believe the weather with them.
Yeah,Trump is a tw*t but an honest one imo, just something about sugar sweet Hilary i'm not gone on. |
|
By:
But how much of the negative stuff about Hilary are they hearing over there that we don't hear about over here?
There's got to be a lot more to the amount of mistrust of her than some emails, we never hear any of it. |
|
By:
Trump dared to criticise you know who, the bbc love you know who. Only one way it was ever going to go with that biased bunch of freaks.
|
|
By:
but we don't even have a vote!! so why the continual anti trump stuff?
|

17 million viewers must see straight through the BBC propaganda

as I say - walk down certain streets of west london and you will HEAR the difference - that is why some don't fall for the pro immigrant and pro eu agenda - they experience it!!!
|
|
By:
Just think about how many attacks have the BBC have aimed at Farage? Yet the majority who voted in the referndum took Farage's side NOT the BBC's side. And no doubt about it they are massively pro EU. It must really rub them the wrong way.
If you watch the BBC they are trying to tell us that everyone who supports trump is a racist nutcase, same as the BBC try to paint all Brexiters here, but we live here so know different. |

when you actually PHYSICALLY see a migrant somali family put in a nice three bed council house ahead of indigenous families who have waited years for a decent place - then you start to realise something is wrong - then local people realise.
Eu migrants getting social housing after a few months - I do not joke. nowadays you get accused of racism for stating facts |

If Nige had not endorsed Trump (though he did try and distance himself after some of the revelations came out
 ) I wonder how many Ukip/brexiteers on here would be so loud in their unwavering support of him. |

nah deplorables will be deplorables - reading infowars and breitbart like the good little useful idiots they are,

Be a sad day if an intellectual lightweight, with many poor personal attributes, gets elected President as a result of modern day celebrity culture.

Information and control of such - continual broadcasting of said controlled information to a set agenda agreed by small controlling groups is the life and blood of the system. Step outside and they will attempt to shoot you to bits.
I am currently intrigued by turkey and the china(hong kong saga) |

Thommo is down to commentate on the election race.....
And they're off, lets see who will take em along, and they're not messing about here. Looks like Hilarious Clinton leads, and I can't find the other one at the moment, Attack Datrump, hopefully they never bumped him off in the stalls, ho ho ho, I love it.... Hilarious Clinton going well and still no sight of Attack Datrump. I swear I saw him earlier, when led up by her lass Bea Beesea. Maybe he whispered lewd comments in her ear, we all know about those talkin horses. I should know, I made a packet running the hotline.... A furlong to go, she's home and hosed, there are cheers from the crowd, bbc news are ecstatic, channel 4, boo, news, are overjoyed, cnn have cracked open the bubbly, fox news have pulled the plug. But wait, I've noticed Attack Datrump with my binoculars, ho ho ho, there's a huge padlock on his stall, very crafty indeed. Hilarious Clinton wins a thriller, that's a great photo for sky, bbc, channel 4 and cnn. Goodnight. |

Think that Trump and his wall rhetoric looks as though it has got the Hispanic vote out to stick the knife into him big time

I would assume you have all seen and know how people in the USA have been shafted by obama and his mates and the ones before him.
The state of the economy!!! Manufacturing industry has been trashed - similar to here - but so much manufacturing has been shipped out of the states!!! |
