Harrystottle Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It seems to me that you actually want the BBC to be biased - just in favour of your viewpoint. No, I would like them to be less selective in the facts they put out there. There is for example a trade agreement the EU has been working on for a while called TTIP. One of the main aims of TTIP is to open up Europe’s public health, education and water services to US companies. This could essentially mean the privatisation of the NHS. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/what-is-ttip-and-six-reasons-why-the-answer-should-scare-you-9779688.html Anybody seen this on the BBC news? As opposed to being on page 94 of their website? They could also mention TISA, another trade agreement the EU is working on, the very existence of which was being kept secret until exposed by wikileaks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_in_Services_Agreement But they don't. Stories like this might not show those who run the EU in a good light, so they don't get put on the news. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that the EU is run on behalf of multi national corporations, a bosses club, as the 1980's Labour party described it.

The EU are often corporatist. Heavy regulation gives advantage to big established companies over their smaller rivals. They spend a lot of time lobbying the EU. Regulation which those distrustful of private enterprise encourage, often actually does them a favour by allowing the big guys to maintain a stranglehold on a sector. Also TTIP is an extremely poor excuse for a free trade agreement when you look at the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANGELFIRE1 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 The Andrew Marr show which has just ended shows the BBC pro EU Bias. Boris was the main guest speaker but sadly Marr did not allow him to finish ANY question he asked of him. It was a disgusting spectacle imho and Marr should hang his head in shame. Angel1.

Magilla Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I've not forgotten anything. LOL! Yet you're unable to determine the difference between an agreement and theft. My methodology is transparent. Just because you don't like the findings doesn't make it untrue. *IF* you ignore the blindingly obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrystottle Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) The BBC's ceefax is carrying a story about local Tory chairmen being polled on whether they want to stay in or leave the EU. The BBC correctly reported that out of 128 who replied, 54 said leave; and left it there. So they didn't mention that only 31 said stay in! Never the direct lie, but never the full story, always selective with which facts they use. Edited March 6, 2016 by Harrystottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeG Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The Andrew Marr show which has just ended shows the BBC pro EU Bias. Boris was the main guest speaker but sadly Marr did not allow him to finish ANY question he asked of him. It was a disgusting spectacle imho and Marr should hang his head in shame. Angel1. I agree. I kept wishing Marr would just shut up a bit and let Boris finish what he was saying. He tried his best but many points he tried to put across were just left hanging. It was as though Marr didn't want the viewers to get the full story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The BBC's ceefax is carrying a story about local Tory chairmen being polled on whether they want to stay in or leave the EU. The BBC correctly reported that out of 128 who replied, 54 said leave; and left it there. So they didn't mention that only 31 said stay in! Never the direct lie, but never the full story, always selective with which facts they use. I saw this story reported on BBC News 24. It was stated that out of 128 chairmen who responded, 54 wished to leave the EU. No mention of how many were undecided, or wished to remain in the EU. So the overall impression, according to the hated and publicly shamed BBC, is that out of 128 only 54 wish to leave the EU. A disgraceful misrepresentation of the full story by an organisation that hates and fears democracy, pretty much the same way the EU does. Both organisations are institutionally corrupt and at least one of them has been using tax payers money to fund the sexual abuse of children by highly paid celebrities for decades. But claims to know nothing about it, of course. ---------- Post added 07-03-2016 at 15:42 ---------- It should be noted that the BBC has been deliberately lying to the public, who pay for its very existence, for decades. For example, the BBC claims that TV detector vans using sophisticated electronic equipment have been catching people who are watching TV without a BBC TV licence (Aunty Beeb considers this to be a very serious criminal act, much worse than the sexual abuse of children, which the BBC has turned a blind eye to for over forty years). In fact, not a single person has ever been caught by the use of such imaginary technology. The evidence gathered by such imaginary technology has not once been used in a UK court. Ever. ---------- Post added 07-03-2016 at 16:08 ---------- 'The Andrew Marr Show', transmitted yesterday, indicates just how the inherent bias within the BBC actually works. Boris Johnson, who favours leaving the EU, was interrupted a total of 57 times by the presenter. David Cameron, who favours remaining in the EU, was interrupted by the same presenter in the same length of time interview two weeks ago just 23 times.
