BBC news already has plenty of turd in it, if that's your thing
About the only thing I watch on BBC news is the weather, as everything else is broadcast from some unknown village in the middle east. Oh and don't get me started on the movie reviews
Whats with the BBC pushing daily statistical manipulation stories lately?

BBC is probably the most reliable source of news on the planet. Going back to the 90s I do not recall any newspaper/website/television that comes even close to the quality and lack of bias I regularly see on their website.
"Most British workers have seen their take-home pay rise in real terms in the past year, the government claims."
"Overall crime fell by 10% in England and Wales in the year to September 2013, official figures show."
"Police forces across England and Wales are routinely manipulating crime statistics in order to meet targets, a committee of MPs has heard. "
All your examples are unbiased news reports and each article makes perfectly clear who said what and in what context. Furthermore, considering an year has just ended, it is perfectly reasonable to expect more statistical reports than usual.

Rather allot of people are spotting the inconsistencies with real life. What makes you so special aye? Is it your gullibility or tory party donation
...
The natural disposition of anyone contributing to the comments section of the BBC, Guardian, Telegraph and so forth is cynicism and a defeatist attitude. I don't rate those people too highly and will gladly stand apart from them.
To be honest - you don't even need to manipulate statistics when presenting them to a public who doesn't understand statistics.
Regarding the pay rise story, the first article I checked
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25869001
The BBC isn't accepting this coalition assertion without challenging it - the article is simply a reflection of what the coalition said. If you actually read the article they provide a number of different views.

News can hardly be called news these days, poltical propaganda and loaded stories along with a few breasts seems a better description of the crap they put out.
But whats new "Tories control media to make it seem like they aren't doing a crap job for everyone except top earners" That's been the case for decades.
For me, English politics is a lot like deciding which turd you want to take a bite from. Labour, Lib Dem, Conservative, they're all corrupt arsesholes and ******s. But I suppose on balance you must vote for the one who is likely to ruin the least amount of stuff.

Better than C4 and ITV though imho
Also, anything that's gone anywhere near Murdoch I avoid. Hence I end up at the BBC for my general news. I read the economist for most of my news though, even though it isn't exactly good for 'breaking' news.

It's the beginning of the year/new quarter. That's when statistics usually come out. It just so happens they are generally positive this year...

If you had actually read the reports you'd find out the national crime survey is independent of police statistics...
While we can all be anti something your apparent rabid hatred of either the conservatives, lib dems, or certain policies seems to be showing through, rather than any actual problem.
Lies it was clearly caused by the BBC license fee.
I heard it was the Muzzies?
To be fair, deregulation of financial services under thatchers regime is probably a major contributory factor to why we were affected by it.
Who said it was?
What is your fundamental issue with the figures regarding wages?
