Surely it depends on the nature of the closing comments, if there was a bit of a tussle between them over something. It seems to prove if you take a small enough sample of anything then it can be framed as bias. Anyway, why are Villa always last on Match of the Day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 This is interesting and worth watching it all if you have time, its a discussion on bias and if the government has captured the BBC. Talk of Robbie Gibb is very insightful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) You've got Kuenssberg out front, Gibb out back and a video editor that made the Brexit PM look sober at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. Add to that the output of the media owned by the tax shy. That's how the country finds itself led right down the garden path, and onto the slope we're bouncing down. I suspect after deepening misery, there's a cliff edge waiting for a closely following generation? They will be livid, and rightly so. Edited January 30 by Xann Eyes gone.

VILLAMARV Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The research by Cardiff Uni into bias (which has been quoted numerous times in this thread) in the BBC suggested it's quantifiable and not at all bad actors cherrypicking quotes from here and there to misrepresent what's really happening. In fact it also suggested that that is exactly what the BBC are guilty of when they start quoting 'balance' as a defense, sorry not defense, misdirection, when their coverage is questioned.

bickster Posted June 9 Author Moderator Share Posted June 9 Could be put in a number of threads but this is the most appropriate I think Farage on Laura K. Not withstanding the question of why he’s on again and this is isn’t a post in support of him (obvs) First Question… (not verbatim) ”You’ve decided to run and many people are saying you running will let Kier Starmer in, why do you want Labour to win?” What? That is literally a Tory attack line. Would that question be asked to any other party? Why are you standing and won’t that let Labour in? That is absolutely shocking. Edit: and then Mel Stride is on and he repeats the line (which is ok) but qualifies it with “and you yourself even asked the question” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
