QT Audience...
Anyone see QT this week? The audience seems to be hand picked socialist worker nutters.

Does the BBC now try to recruit trolls for QT to make it more confrontational and dramatic, rather than informative and productive?

That is not how your OP reads though, at least not to me. It appears that you are suggesting that the BBC researchers are systematically chosing from a specific subset of the applicants to create a specific bias in the audience and thus in the discussion and therefore the show itself.

Also given some of your other responses it seems apparent that you think the BBC current affairs dept is biased toward sensationalism and a certain spectrum of opinon as well.

If that is not the case, then I don't understand your argument I'm afraid.

Not to me either.

When you say bias I assume you mean towards some particular political ideal. I don't think they are biased towards any particular ideal.

They are "biased towards sensationalism", however that's not normally how I would use the word bias, and when I said I didn't think they were biased I was meaning towards a political view.

I'd be just as annoyed if they filled the audience with Little Englanders and or extreme libertarians.

Ok, no problem.

I don't agree that they are though, it may appear that way with regard the audience simply because that is the prevailing public opinion......being representative doesn't necessarily mean presenting all views equally.....
