Why IS the british media

Every other news item or story on the bbc website is agenda driven, they cover Trump because he is a big problem to their libtard utopia.

They can cover a protest in the uk that suits their agenda but the one in France where 1.8k people have been convicted is not reported. Protesters losing eyes and even a hand by the heavy handed global police is not newsworthy.

The Pakistan/India issue should be the biggest news today, probably worried their studio could turn into a war zone.

Does anyone think for one second that in any other country on the planet, difficulties in passing an internal budget in the UK would be the main item night after night on their news - or even covered at all? It's internal politics of a foreign country that has no effect on me and presumably any of us. The media here hang on everything that happens that is Trump related like it's as crucial as breathing. I know Macron, leader the big country just 25 miles away and our nearest neighbour, has an approval rating through the floor and half way to australia and mass protests. Is he able to pass budgets? Is he struggling to pass measures? I've no idea, it's not covered. Trump farts and the BBC/C4 will have 5 minutes discussing which food caused it and how it makes him more racist.

I certainly dont remember Obama being at the top of the bbc news page every other day during his tenure, surely their are people looking on and thinking, what is going on here ?

Would love to know how much the BBC spends covering the USA.

Like their donations from the EU to uphold journalism

with a thread of over 13k on chit chat it doesn't appear to be only the media that has an infatuation with Trump

They said the other day that Trump had put on a few pounds and is officially classified as obese

He has been President for a while now...BBC seems strangely fascinated


I think the problem is with the BBC..they are still having trouble admitting he won the US Election

THe bbc vine slot was pretending to be about weight etc, it was about trump.

One day i will listen to radio 2 without a mention of the Don.

Some outlets have bias but all of them, and especially the bbc, have bias towards the most sensational clickable viewpoint.

Trump is clickable. Especially if theres potential to mock him.

Leftie type political correctness stories are highly clickable as they serve as confirmation for either left or right.
Righty type stories of people being successful are less desirable (even for rightys) unless theres a minority angle.

Chaotic brexit stories work better than ongoing negotiation stories at the moment. When we leave there will still be a concentration on the downsides of brexit rather than any positives. If we didnt leave then the mainstream media would immediately turn to the downsides of staying to whip up the most interest.

Sweet jesus. Says coverage of the president of the US is not newsworthy (even if we've always covered news stories from America, and the president declaring a National Emergency to force through an act that has been democratically voted down is certainly newsworthy. The last 2 emergencies were after 9/11 and then the swine flu outbreak so him attempting to put this in the same bracket is certainly a talking point.

But then to cap it all, drawing the falsest of false equivalences to yet another suicide bomb on another continent. Lovely stuff.


I think the evidence shows that it's only the OP and similar mono-browed forecourt attendant failures on here who are agenda driven.

58 emergencies since 1979.This is Trumps third declared emergency

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-many-national-emergencies-have-been-called-by-presidents/

And the vast majority of those are about seizing assets of persons from certain states or groups that have fallen foul of the US authorities. Strip all them away and how many are left?

i agree 2 emegencies.The seizing of property seems strange to come under national emergency power.must be a reason i suppose

imo, the beeb and others have always covered US politics. Particularly at important moments or when there is something newsworthy. We share(d) a lot of values with the US and it is a simple fact that if America sneezes then we catch a cold.

Trump has just ramped that up. Seemingly everyone he's ever appointed is now either in jail or at risk of it up to and including himself, he makes constant inflammatory statements and we are now in a position where we are leaving the EU and many of the acclaimers of that are saying we can develop much deeper relations with the US, so that also makes it a much more bigger moon in our orbit.




I simply put all this down to the fact that there is a generation of people in this country - a generation who never had to go to war, who had cheap housing, well funded schools and hospitals and relatively secure employment - who frankly want to take offence at the slightest thing they can find. The country could do with a good scrub down to allow others with a braver vision to have more of a say.

Just my opinion of course.

The media bounce from one story to another and yes click and ads are part of it

But notice how quickly they move away from a particular news story once it gains a little to much traction, ie the public start asking questions that are a little to close to the truth

Like how is Theresa May still there when she's got no majority, getting beat in every single vote in the echo chamber, looking pathetic when it comes to negotiations etc

Once those questions get asked its a case of "oh look Donald Trump gone been naughty again"

They are parasites and they need to be hounded, I'm not a fan of Tommy Robinson but this get together outside the BBC needs to be hijacked and the people there need to smash the doors in and demand answers

Tommy Robinson will have them on subjects whilst important they aren't what should be getting pushed on at this point

Once the media are hounded out you can get the dirty little bas****s after

Another decent fred ruined by SS posting

what the feck does TR have to do with this fred

Why is Tommy Robinson organising a meet up outside the media?

So they have no excuse not to cover the event .
