BBC funding cut by £2 billion.

You don't know any better. It's just the news Woods like any other outlet. Stop being such a drama queen.

No one seems to able to show any bias though, lol.

It's a bespoke version of the news, slanted in a specific way for a specific reason. The style and use of specific words on the website gives away the agenda of the writers. And you can even see it in the snide comments and facial expressions of the presenters too, in a Tom Bradby type of way.

Btw, the BBC is supposed to be independent and impartial.

Don't forget Emily Maitliss.

The Emily Maitlis row shows the BBC can stray from impartiality, but it acted fast to apologise (newstatesman.com)

The BBC themselves have openly admitted to bias.

bbc news: Tim Davie admits bias fears -and can't name single Brexiteer hire | Politics | News | Express.co.uk

The BBC's director-general has admitted he is worried about "institutional groupthink" as he attempts to tackle claims of bias at the corporation

I wonder what he means by that.

At Orgreave during the 1984/5 miners strike the police launched an unprovoked violent attack on the picketing miners, the miners responded throwing stones and a huge brawl ensued. The BBC reversed the film footage on the six o'clock news so it looked as if the miners attacked the police first, impartial my arse.

Any particular metric?

there are thousands, all show Brexit is poo.

 

[noseall]

Brexit is poo.

BBC bias my arse.

Don't try and be JD and dodge the answer.

You made a specific statement and attributed it to the BBC. Can you verify your statement and cite the BBC reference?

Or is it, as I suspect just your own biased comment?

That would prove the BBC was biased in favour of the government.

So I guess you think the BBC is biased towards the right

“The disease is not a great leveller… that’s a myth.”

Proved to be correct on several occasions. In that instance extensive support from No10 to retain his position and gloss it over.

However as my wife is a special school teacher I do have some understanding of why he might do what he did. She spent a number of years looking after kids with that problem.

The BBC said Brexit is a pile of poo
Brexit is a pile of poo
Which proves the BBCs impartiality on Brexit.

You are not much good at backing up your own comments or argument are you. It's best not to broadcast that.

They also showed horse charges. Batons too including their use. No one cared much for the usual reason - the vast majority are not miners so who cares.

They also showed mining areas being split. Without comment, Wales first. Divide and conquer to retain supplies for a while. Open new pits, better coal and easier to get at. As the Beeb can't forecast future actions all just reported.

The BBC are so biased they only let Nigel Farage appear on Question Time 32 times.

He hasn't been invited since 2019. Now that Brexit has been achieved the BBC are not keen to let Farage gloat about it
