John52 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Can't read Daily Mail links because they won't accept my ad blocker. But your friend Boris *-) has already rejected de funding the BBC He wants a broadcaster he can take over like Winston Churchill did in the war.

But your friend Boris *-) has already rejected de funding the BBC He wants a broadcaster he can take over like Winston Churchill did in the war. Oh I think that take over is well underway. There are many examples in recent months of the Beeb flying the Tory flag. The odd rogue journalist that speaks out is very quickly "taken care of" now. Its biased alright. In favour of the Tories.

Brian Kirby Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 It's a bit ripe, isn't it, Dave P and the Mail, those two exemplars of political neutrality, say the BEEB is biased. How on earth can they tell? Ah yes, because one of the BEEB's senior managers (indirectly) told them so. Good for David Jordan: he considers some of his journalists show bias on Twitter. So, he can presumably now crack the whip a bit and exert more control? But who, apart from a door-knob, is totally without bias? The issue they picked on was Maitless' report of Cummings trip home and Barnard Castle. There's a court case currently pending against Cummings over that. If Cummings is found guilty will Maitless still be claimed to have shown bias (but against who/what, Cummings, the government, or the whole Tory party?), or would her "egregious" claim that Cummings had broken the law merely have been correct? After all, she was far from alone in that sentiment, even if in saying so she showed a critical bias against the actions of a person many feel shouldn't be where he is at all. Do people want real people as reporters, party apparatchiks, or mere cyphers? The job of the press is to speak truth to power, because the rest of us don't have adequate voices to do so.

There is no way she should have gone for that. Her job as a journalist is to put forward such an argument which was pretty much most peoples opinions at that time. Its then open for debate throughout the program. The little Englanders wont be happy until the BBC has completely morphed into a Tory echo chamber. I think overall until recently its been fairly balanced but its between such a rock and a hard place now Im not sure its content can be trusted. It will just be another Tory mouthpiece within six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
