Does the BBC have a Pro-EU Bias?


Recommended Posts

.....at least loses the ability to type.

 

Or the ability to think in your case.

Yes, like that I mean. It will be included in tonight's update, don't you worry your little cotton socks.

 

Just 4 months of anal paranoia to go.

The BBC has been covering it's ass the past few years as the government keeps threatening it, making it pay for Govt policies (free licenses for over 75's or whatever the arbitrary age is), slashing it's services, badmouthing it and generally sucking up to Uncle Rupert. So it has become shallow and defensive, won't stick it for itself under fear of being cut more by the Govt.

they are going to vote to stay in.

 

Boris Johnson will bottle it just like Michael Portillo did. He will never be PM. It is a sign of poor judgment that he has decided to behave like this, but then he stood a very poor chance of ever being PM anyway and he knew it.

So are you suggesting that rather than report events as they happen, the BBC should only report a pro-EU story when they've an an anti-EU story to report. To retain the balance?

 

It does seem that way.

As before, none of this shows any bias whatsoever. I'm not sure what the point of posting these is?

It does seem that way yes.

 

Not sure what the point of posting the articles is since they clearly aren't showing what WiseOwl thinks they are.

 

One thing that this thread is showing, is WiseOwl's frustrating at the exit campaign.

 

When you have the people of the stature of IDS, Galloway and Boris being led by their shining leader - Grove, you can see where that frustration stems from.
