usa election o/t

We have been told who won the Presidential race across the pond, fine. but do we have to have wall to wall coverage on the t.v. news?
We are not the British Counties of America yet, are we? :confused:

Same with any other event , has me reaching for the off button. Much easier to browse news on the web than listening to bias from the main news channels these days.
Most amazed that somehow reporters have to be there in person, sod the expense or danger.
Even after the storm last week when everyone was cleared out of NY, reporters have to remain as they appear to be essential, dont understand the modern media..

Celebrations still on-going in Shepherd’s Bush after the BBC delegations successful campaign saw their man romp home.

Interesting that you pick a link to a article form a bloke like littlejohn who for years ha sworn blind about media bias !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Possibly because for years there has been bias, of which most of the biased are ignorant?

[TF_smudge]

Biased or just hold an opposite view ?

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Definite bias IMO.

You could always “very carefully pick” a few links extolling their world famous impartiality for everyone to see.

They’re even biased about the weather, foisting the “global warming” myth on licence-taxpayers:

and then thinking themselves above the law.

Bias your links of course represent a very balanced view if your media mogul that lives in the channel islands avoiding tax which at least one of sources do. or a lord that makes huge contributions to the conservitive party like one of the others.

Groups that have accused the BBC of bias.

British
Labour party
Conservitive party
Liberal democrats

American
Democrats (right)
Republicans (further right)

Both sides of the Northern Ireland dispute

Soviet and post soviet leaders

Both sides Isreal palestine dispute

The French
UMP (conservative)
Parti socialiste ( left wing)
National front ( right wing)

If all sides are accusing you of bias your definately on the right track as its not possible to be bias against someone and not be bias for someone else.
Or could they just be reporting whats there good and bad, and if you think the BBC is giving its self an easy ride try finding any current affairs programming thats worth watching on any other channels tv or radio.

Whether my links are to a “very balanced view” or not I’m not threatened with imprisonment for failing to financially contribute to the holders of them.

I wouldn’t think too many of their senior executives would be permitted the indulgence of “stepping aside” as a result of their own ineptitude, they’d be shown the door, but it’s only license payers money – plenty more where that came from.

BBC. Bias ? god forbid. They say what cameron tells them to say. As for the rest sky ect they tell you what Murdoch wants you to know. R.T. They tell you from Russia,s. eyes. A.J. From the Arab point of view. C.B.S / Fox. That’s the yanks slide on things. All have one thing in common. There all in someone,s pocket. Newspapers lol, you get more news from the local free rag. Funny how when Cameron’s in trouble we have news dominated by dead people’s doings and 75% of air time given to about a thousand reporters in the U/S. the euro ???? Not a bean. And yet Portugal have riots and Greece slides into the abyss. The E/U continue,s to commit fraud on a spectacular scale, but we are not that concerned cos its a touchy subject with the Tories. So we talk about dead people,s crimes, and David’s best buddy Obama. We hear about Spanish bankers who know little if zero about banking two weeks after the story was released in the Spanish press lol. Smoke and mirrors . I used to laugh at Pravda,s press releases, now I laugh at ours.

EU fraud?

Kinnockio had an opportunity to something about it:

but he didn’t want to derail the gravy train, especially as most of his family were on board.

[TF_caster robParticipant]

BBC anti-Israel rhetoric now in full flow.

Brace yourself for Jeremy Bowen led chest-beating on Newsnight!

[TF_herbie]

very true rob. have you noticed that as soon as the camera,s appear a kid is carried in with a bandage on her head, ( same kid and they get royalties and appearence money) but apart fron that they look as healthy and clean as kid going to school. also the morgue,s are emptied and paraded for the camera;s even though there as stiff as a board lol. according to one reporter he doubted any rockets were fired in anger into israel before the tragic death of that saint in charge of killing israelies lol. love the beeb and all those liberal lovies. long may they be given enough rope. one day they will hang from it lol

[TF_caster robParticipant]

I don’t know whether they’re so far up themselves that they don’t realize what a pantomime they’re taking part in:

or they’re so brainwashed by hatred that they hope that we’re too thick to notice.
