BBC bias sick of it.

[mattheman]

A report was released today about house prices, now the BBC have always quoted right move, yet today when rightmove released there monthy report "Home owners drop asking prices" they havent even published it, yet when its a rise or something positive they would be the first.
Iam sick of this selective news reports from the BBC.

Iam sick of this selective news reports from the BBC.

Oh and every other news outlet publishes every single bit of news in the world?

If you're so disgusted with the service why use it?

 

[oli collett]

What's the percentage drop on asking prices then?

Oh, not another BBC bias rant, use another service.

 

[Yamahahahahaha]

There was a great article where a 5.2% rise in crime was seen as 'not statistically significant' by the BBC.

But when it fell 0.6%, God help us, that was a MAJOR STEP FORWARD. Well done police etc.etc.etc.

 

[meghatronic]

The BBC are like all news and media agencies in the world: they publish what is sensationalist. I hate it personally.

The difference between them and the BBC is, the BBC is impartial well thats what they say but over the past 5 years it seems to be bias in its reporting.

This is hardly a major bit of bias.

 

[mattheman]

It was about sellers dropping their prices as there wasnt any demand etc...

Asking prices were dropped by an average of 2.2 per cent from July to August to £222,762 – the biggest slump this year – as sellers were forced to cut their prices amid the housing slump.

 

[mattheman]

This is hardly a major bit of bias.

it is when they have hardly ever mention the crash word, in fact the BBC have quoted some poor sources over the last 2 year say house prices to recover and increase by 10% late 2008 etc...

 

[[DOD]Asprilla]

In that case it's just poor reporting.

Because we are forced to pay over £120 a year for it?

 

[mattheman]

In that case it's just poor reporting.

its not poor reporting, its one sided reporting, poor reporting is not getting the facts right, the problem here is they arnt reporting what they dont want to report.

 

[Skully]

I'm more concerned with the fact that Kate Silverton is completely useless and she actually makes me angry with her blunders and mistakes!

 

[[DOD]Asprilla]

Yup, there is a massive conspiracy at the BBC not to report on this statement by rightmove.

Its not about the statement from right move its about the way the report what they want.

 

[[DOD]Asprilla]

They report what they want because they sit around and decide which stories they feel are the most important to fit into their 30 minute slot. If this story didn't make the cut, then that's just because that sometimes happens.

It's not bias.

 

[oli collett]

Don't be ridiculous.

 

[FreeStream]

And enjoy ad free, reasonably decent* news and very good programming from time to time?

*As a [in training] aerospace engineer/flyer the amount of **** that comes out of the news networks after a crash/new aeroplane launch/whatever makes you think if they can't get that right how can they get anything else right.

They are just as bad as each other and your rant is unjustified!

Hardly think there is a conspiracy going around tbh.
