I cannot bare to watch this programme.

You might make the mistake and believe Jeremy Corbyn is already in power by a majority after watching this lefty love in.

It's sickeningly biased and the BBC don't try to hide it any more.

My TV licence ends at the end of September.
 
I've been pretty amazed at the amount of time he's had devoted to him over the course of the week.

Every day the website, TV and radio has been chock full of what he's been doing (or not doing), I know he's the leader of the opposition and it's been a vacant position for a while now but change the record please.
 
What was more telling was the woman who asked why we're not talking about the role Britain played in destabilising the region.

Nobody talked about it, says all you need to know about the fools in power.

How was it biased?
 
I've been licence free for a year and no regrets.

The BBC coverage of the migrant crisis and Labour Party leader have been shockingly biased.
 
i missed most of it, but can someone tell me roughly when this guy was on?

Invite a weak speaking conservative politician.

Allow John McDonnell ample time to deceive the nation about his apology over praising the IRA.

Every mirgrant crisis comment was pretty much against what most the nation are feeling and voted for 4 months ago. They make it seem like popular opinion to take on them all.

There was a right wing journalist on the panel too.

Is it the job of the BBC to censor what he said and try a sway public opinion?

i am not sure what you were watching then. One of the biggest round of applause is when someone pointed out the realities of the situation.

Unfortunately Cameron carried it on with Libya so it also relates to the current people in power, not just past Labour.

I do agree with that.

The BBC Arab Spring party too I remember. Public and politicians are way to influenced by anything that is broadcast without giving more thought.
 
IIRC the QT audience etc is normally quite carefully chosen to try and get a representative group (they try and get roughly the same number of people for each party in the audience, and get them from a variety of walks of life).

Why was the Conservative speaker weak?

As for Corbyn, I can't imagine why the election of a guy who had never been on the front bench of a political party, or as a leading position in it, and who was nominated for the job almost as a bit of mischief by the other members of the party, winning the election to become leader of the party (in the first round with a huge majority compared to other candidates) despite massive opposition from major party members would result in him getting a lot of press. I mean it's not like it's highly unusual for an almost complete outsider to become the head of a major political party despite the wishes and stated views of what seems like the majority of the parties elected MP's.
IIRC a few weeks back the bookmakers had him at something like 200 to 1 to win it.

Labour shouldn't be about playing the "game" like the Tories anyway, its incredibly droll and labour members had their say... Clearly Blairism is dead so long as he keeps opening his intolerable gout.
 
The only reason Joey Barton got on the show last year was because of his left wing views.

They get celebrities like him and Russell Brand on to try and influence people's opinions.
 
New party leaders get lots of airtime. What did people expect?

In Australia our new conservative/liberatarian PM is getting 24/7 wall to wall press coverage on every possible media outlet, including the ABC (Australia's equivalent of the Beeb).

This doesn't suggest bias any more than the current excitement over Corbyn. It's a big story with major implications, so of course it's going to get a lot of attention.
