truthlogic Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Don't think the BBC calls anyone a dictator. Al Jazeera refers to Mubarak as President - is that propaganda? http://english.aljazeera.net/[/ Aljazeera is also controlled by a dictator ! So I'm sure its stories are also not fair and balanced !

andygardener Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 ''like a black hobnail boot forever stomping on the face of society'' Anthony J Hilder, referring to the BBC in his masterpiece documentary, 911 The Greatest Lie Ever Sold. An interesting point if this "Anthony J Hilder" was a man of sound mind, however a quick google search reveals him to be a drooling lunatic conspiracy theorist who rather tediously blames everything bad on the "illuminati".

vResistance Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Very good V but how is that an example of BBC bias? Not an example of the BBC but don't you think things are likely the same over here ? We already know the 'broadcasting act' allows the government to take over the BBC and make them report anything THEY like- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY2NXPl625A (stated on 1.50) and i imagine any channel governed by the broadcasting act. The main Channels/Media give an illusion of independance and freethinking but all have the same main agenda(a common purpose) I wouldn't trust RT to report honestly about Russia (Russia sharing the common purpose with" the west") but they will investigate and report the truth about what is going on in in Afghanistan and Iraq etc. Look for something hard enough and you'll find it! No you won't. Not if it's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 We already know the 'broadcasting act' allows the government to take over the BBC and make them report anything THEY like In the situation of a national emergency (eg the "four minute warning") they would have yes - the powers are in a chapter entitled "Defence and Emergency". Makes sense. We'd soon know if it had in any other situation as most of the staff would be telling everybody in the wide world about it - they aren't the automatons you seem to think.

The staff at the BBC are more prone to believing "their" own propaganda, they are likely to be 'bias' and trust they have the best sources of information. For instance,was it Phil Hatton ? that reported WTC7 coming down over 20 mins before it did ? but was totally unaware until told during an interview years later.He couldn't even remember, or know anything about it until reminded.(obviously not something spoken about within the BBC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
