glennpickard Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I am a Sheffielder living in the USA. I do not watch news stations here because of their biased opinions (ok if they are labelled so). Murdoch's Fox News is the worst for bias. If I want to see unbiased reporting I watch the BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzijlstra Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 What, you didn't see the 'mentor' of Cameron lambasting the report and arguing for a Brexit, nor did you hear about IDS burning the report down on BBC radio? Pleased to see you are keeping up your unbiased analysis of bias WiseOwl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased to see you are keeping up your unbiased analysis of bias WiseOwl. I made my research measurement quite clear. I've got time to check the headlines twice a day, like most people have. That's why they're influential. I don't have time to do a complete analysis of all BBC output across multiple platforms. If you do, then I suggest you either do something productive with your life, or start your own thread detailing your own analysis. So far, 10 days in, pro-EU headlines at peak times are out numbering the anti ones by a 3:2 ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrystottle Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Lord Rose, who is leading the "In" campaign, has conceded that should we leave the EU, UK wages will rise. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/12181385/Wages-for-British-workers-will-rise-in-the-event-of-a-Brexit-head-of-in-campaign-says.html I will bet my left nut and everyone else's that this will not be mentioned on the BBC's six o'clock news bulletin.

Well, yes, because there have been more pro-EU stories to report. That doesnt' show any bias whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrystottle Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Well, yes, because there have been more pro-EU stories to report. That doesnt' show any bias whatsoever. The BBC is massively biased in favour of the EU. When "technocratic" government was imposed on Italy and Greece, and democratic government removed, did the BBC explode with outrage? Did they hell. Italy's technocratic government was composed entirely of unelected people. If a right wing coup had replaced a democratic government in European democracies, what would the BBC's reaction have been? When British dairy farmers were in big trouble last summer, the BBC covered the story. Sort of. Dairy farmers were in trouble mainly because Russia had barred EU dairy imports, leading to a glut of produce in Europe. How did the BBC slant this? By mentioning "difficult global trading conditions". The initials "EU" were never mentioned once. Why? That's the Beeb for you. Rarely the direct lie, but they are very selective about their facts.

Magilla Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) The BBC is massively biased in favour of the EU. I don't believe they give a monkeys either way. They're just reporting press releases from the various camps. The rest seems like hysteria on your part, rather than any fault of the BBC. You see conspiracy where none exists.
