Halibut Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Nope, my answer is still the same. I don't trust the BBC an inch to report the news accurately. That's rich coming from a fraudster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loubbe Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 That is probably quite true. But then ITV, Channel 5 and Murdoch do not take £3.5 billion a year of public funding - under pain of a large fine and criminal record. Interviewer, you make the continous point of how much the BBC costs us, and it seems as thought you view the commercial channels as being free? We pay for them, albeit in a different way, every time we purchase breakfast cereal, washing powder, coffee, toilet roll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Prime Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Well you are obviously happy to be lied to, hence your stand on this thread. My standards are a bit higher than yours. Evidently not because firstly you are a conspiracy theorist. Secondly your latest conspiracy is against the government mind control tool that is the BBC. It has not crossed your mind that if the BBC were dismantled or turned into a commercial channel then the floodgates would be open for Murdoch to be Britain's Berlusconi. In terms of mind control and lies your darkest fantasies would cease to be fantasies. The fact that the BBC has clashed with the government on the war and other serious issues has also escaped your attention. When did Sky every query the war?

INTERVIEWER Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I've been in Sainsbury's tonight. They were up to the same tricks. Rows of intimidating operatives blocking my exit from the store until I'd paid for my shopping. Disgrace really:roll: Your post might have some relevance if Sainsbury's behaved in the same aggressive, intolerant manner as the BBC. Sainsbury's don't write to me on a monthly basis threatening me with a large fine and a criminal record if I don't prove to them that I am not a Sainsbury's customer. Sainsbury's don't send goons to knock very, very loudly on my front door (clearly indicating an urgent matter) at all hours. Demanding to know if I use their services, again under the threat of a large fine and criminal record. Sainsbury's don't want to conduct a search of my property to see if I have any of their products. So what makes BBC TV licensing (to use its full name) so very different? As a non-customer of Sainsbury's they leave me alone. As a non-customer of the BBC I am on the receiving end of various unpleasant psychological techniques designed to harass and intimidate, with the overall aim of parting me from my money.

INTERVIEWER Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Disgrace really:roll: Agreed, the BBC is a disgrace to both its customers (who it showers with repeats and distortion) and its non-customers (who it abuses) alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INTERVIEWER Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Don't be silly. The poll question is loaded. As I've already said I trust the BBC more than I do any other news organisation but I can't answer yes to the question because nobody ever tells the truth 100% of the time. It's a meaningless ideal that can't be met. In my world, if I don't trust something 100 per cent then I DISTRUST it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 In my world, if I don't trust something 100 per cent then I DISTRUST it. And what do you trust 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Prime Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 And what do you trust 100%? His own bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 The BBC is a media company. Media companies by and large are politically orientated and will put their slant on things and therefore try to shape the publics' opinions by including, or omitting, specific facts that support or conflict with their own views. Most pedal opinions rather than give facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magilla Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 If you can't trust something 100% of the time then there will be doubts about an organisation especially when they are spinning government propoganda on an issue that will affect all our lives. So which news sources do you trust 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
