OLD BOY i don't wish to get into a political debate but I always find the "BBC news is left wing bias" to be completely daft and without any evidence.
BBC TV in terms of its television shows is more liberal i will give you that. Lots of examples of the shows being made currently which has a liberal bias and political correctness agenda. I will give you that. I'm not saying i'm either for or against that.
BBC News i can't give you that same backing. I offer you this :
"Perhaps the most compelling proof of the BBC’s bias, however, can be found in its treatment of Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn. A study conducted by the Media Reform Coalition and published recently by the universally-respected Birkbeck University found that the mainstream media (which, of course, includes the BBC) has consistently given more time and prominence to Corbyn’s critics than his supporters. In fact, they’ve given his critics twice as much airtime."
Without looking at further evidence some examples of BBC News being bias to the right rather than the left was Laura Kussenberg telling people the day before the election the tories were ahead in postal votes. Imagine the outrage if it had happened the other way around. You can add to giving "voices" to the right on shows like question time to people such as Nigel Farage who has never been elected to a poltical office in this country.
But again I don't wish to engage in further political chat. To be honest it bores me. The whole system bores me.
But accusing BBC NEWS and i stress bbc NEWS of being left bias i think is fundamentally a lazy opinion from someone who usually expresses intering viewpoints. The entertainment section of the BBC being very left leaning- absolutely you can go to town on that.
I'm looking forward to GB News for the pure outrage it'll cause and the sh*t show of people they'll bring out. Just like I wanted Fox News to be broadcast on virgin because of the hilarity of some of its pundits. I can also look forward to things even if i have zero political support for such people. The less certain people can speak on twitter and say their words are "twisted" is always good for democracy so I look forward to them getting their chance on live television.
To change the conversation as I hate political chat and just engaged in it to try to argue against the lazy argumemt of bbc news being left bias may i ask one question.....
when does the new tivo software roll out on v6s? will it be this year? Also any impact on virgin services with the o2 launch? Could we potentially get unlimited data to view virgin media tv perhaps?
