Ela James Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I have a lot to say about those 2 animals .., but knowing some members of Sheffield Forum I suspect the discussion would soon get derailed and enter personal, immature and baseless accusations But I am starting with a number of general observations - the UK media is very powerful and influential - because they are powerful they know and they do get away with almost anything, literally, and their misbehaviour would have virtually no impact on the health of their organisation/ business … so I do not expect any improvement because there is no force pushing towards it May I therefore start by asking: If you were a serious and neutral reader, if you were someone who seeks knowledge and news that you can rely on, What are the facts that describe the policy of * The Telegraph * the BBC * the Guardian I respect your opinion and your choice but before that I really like to know the facts Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Telegraph - right wing Guardian - Middle class lefties BBC - Aims to sit somewhere in the middle but always get accused of bias by both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 BBC - middle class lefties. Look how often Guardian writers appear on the BBC, compared to how tiny the circulation of the paper is. And look at what newspaper the BBC buys most of, again compare with the sales figure for the population as a whole and see how out of touch they are.

RonJeremy Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The BBC is so far left, and saying otherwise is simply a pretence. The only thing right about the BBC is that it's "Right on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtkate Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Always makes me laugh when people say the BBC is left-wing. It's really not. Some of it's journalists are and some are right-wing. The BBC probably works out about neutral, but it has bias in different areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 We've had this "is the BBC left / right wing" argument recently: 2. The Tories mistakenly interpret any criticism as being automatically left-wing, or at the very least a sign of a lack of balance. Not true. Political correspondents at the BBC likje Robinson and Kuennsberg are very sympathetic to the Tories Not to mention Andrew Neil, Evan Davis and Norman Smith. There are few, if any, "lefties" at BBC News these days, if there ever were. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11057570&highlight=andrew+neil#post11057570 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker7 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Facts? None so far. Lots of opinion though. Perhaps the op could give us an example of a fact that indicates policy. I'm not sure that its possible. A fact is a fact is a fact. 90% of the wealth of the country is owned by ??% that would be a fact but would it help. Puzzled.
