 You are not being very fair here |

By:
Well OK those were the easy ones. But stand by because the fact-check team will be reporting back in the next 48 hours weather Donald has made America grate again.

I'm not sure you can 'promote' self-harming, just like the Clause 28 legislation banning the promotion of homosexuality. You have an existing pre-disposition which makes you go search (I imagine) and then you've opened Pandora's Box. Even if one could agree on a definition of 'promoting' it's not the BBC's job to give such superficial, accusatory and repeated coverage to a complex subject - unless they have an agenda of their own.
I don't hate the BBC BTW. They could be one of the unifying entities of our nation at a time when we're more split along any number of lines then we've ever been. However, their news coverage is more actively hostile than, say, The Guardian, Mail, Fox News or Channel Four. You know what you're getting there and the spin they're going to put on things and you go there to pander to your prejudices. The BBC's news coverage is way more insidious, subliminal and therefore way more dangerous, especially when it keeps insisting on how you can trust their journalists and journalism. I think the very fct we've had this discussion in this little cul-de-sac of the Internet shows a deeper degree of interest in the issue of self-harm and fake news and its coverage than the BBC have given it, repeatedly, these last few weeks |

As Hanx says, as social media reports the things that the BBC avoids putting in their news programmes, people don't trust the BBC to tell them the news.
The BBC's response is to try and demonise social media. Which I can tell them isn't going to work. The genie is out of the bottle and there's no going back. The BBC have squandered whatever trust the public had in them of fair reporting. So now the BBC are no more than ''on a par'' with other news sources. As Trump put it ''here's another beauty'' when he was referring to the BBC. |

Spot on, Dr Crippen.
Scary convergence of purpose between authoritarian Govt and state-broadcaster. "Tech is bad." Be wary about talk of "managing the internet." |

At it again today.
John Pienaar talking about TIG as being moderate centrists. Are they? Clearly the BBC diktat has been to wholeheartedly accept this description, notwithstanding their one, sole, uniting policy appears to be the overthrow of the referendum result and the return of Britain to the EU. Sounds very far from moderate and to many, anti-democratic. Now whether you are a Leaver or Remainer at heart, this cavalier use of language and lazy acceptance of a questionable consensus by our leading mass-media outlet should give you cause for concern. |
|
By:
The BBC have been like that for decades long before social media
The two things are not connected |
|
By:
TIG - of course they're moderate centrists. It's a group of Blairite ex-Labour and Remain tories. You may be desperate to take offence at the term but really it's pretty damn accurate.

I would trust the internet, especially forums
rather than the BBC or our governments, because the BBC and Governments have an agenda to persuade us how to think. People just stick up what they feel on forums...it shows how people really feel and nobody has to agree if they do not want to |

I suspect the fact-checking on here may be somewhat lacking in rigidity.

Regy's a lovely fella though.

BBC "balance" has been gamed by Iain Duncan Smith and the ERG, who talk of a "war of the airwaves." They insist on the perspective of a flat-earther getting equal time with that of an astronaut.

May be, but I do think everything the Government or BBC says is true either mouse
I may have posted that before???? People should make their own decisions and try to think for themselves Explore the internet, check for yourself, see opposing views, it is what humans have a brain for |

I do NOT think

But shock horror tactics are the order of the day on here and the standard response is to register ones disgust without checking facts or considering a balanced view.

By:
This developing bromance might shock a few who's grooming who?
|

By:
Well nothing happens as a result of what of what is said on here tbh mouse
Some people just like to get their anger out on here, it is understandable |
|
By:
As long as you two are just getting your angers out

I don't have angers or other such issues to deal with, being neither sunni nor shia nor catholic.
