The BBC... I literally try to keep an open mind, from "problems with immigrant" to "Bias media toward the left"....

I have righty tighy as friends on FB and loony lefties ..... i'd say i sit center left (as if that exists anymore).

Question is.... the BBC... Is it Left or right or just inbetween..... Could an admin open a pole, i'm interested to see what people think. Because judging on FB posts the left think its bias and the right think its looney!

They seem pretty balanced to me. They report from both sides.

Same here to be honest, i've never seen them favor anyone.

The propaganda machine is the propaganda machine, innit.

At the moment, it's the New Year, and they fap to the yearly reminder that we'll all die before pensionable age. This is because the Beeb are in bed with the gov't, and that's what the gov't wants - for us to be dead before we become pensionable. Paying into the system for 40+ years, all in vain. We are just datum.

But we voted for that, its not as if they're lying. We voted for a machine that will make us work until death...... Profit > life.

It has to try and remain impartial overall, which typically means it has UKIP frothing at the mouth when it mocks the parties inability to choose a leader (or when one of it's senior members does something stupid), whilst Labour are upset at it reporting about Corbin's troubles, and the tories dislike it because it points out when things are going wrong in government.

I get why BBC show Farage, they are the 3rd biggest party in the UK... its only Fair. Just annoys me that he is technically a nobody who's never been MP. Just a rent a gob.... Meh.

Is it tho....... I just cant tell anymore. I'm a classed as "far left" apparently.... But i listen to what i consider "far left" talk about the BBC being this propaganda machine and just laugh!

Where does that leave me? Am i a righty tighty or a looney leftie..... Many from either side pipe up and say "BBC - right, BBC -left"........... Personally think both are cluesless!

Anyone just stop and think... Yup we're completely ******..... Dan B has the right idea !:D:D:D

I'm assuming you think QT is bais toward the left? If this is the case, could it not be the loony left simply put a better argument and more factual based arguments across?

After all its the "many different panellists" that ultimately make the show?

It is definitely not impartial. Look at the brexit coverage, almost no positive spin on this huge opportunity the country has to trade with the world.

It's news department needs some attention too, the interviews with Farrage for example are hardly unbiased, ditto for the coverage and reporting on Islamic extremism.

Absolute rubbish.....

How can they put a "positive spin" on something when nobody knew what would happen, would have just been guess work, which isn't good reporting.... More to the point, they only reported what MP's, experts and the general public were saying.

They are totally pro-EU as well. Any mentioning of "brexit" is in a negative way, even though there are a of positives to not being restrained by the EU.

Lol... As the saying goes, you only hear what you want to hear!

FYI, a major figure leaves his post in the EU, sends out a warning.... BBC cover it.... Then idiots shout, "Bloody lefy eye EU loving BBC bias".. I mean come on!

As a supposed looney leftie nut job, I have been rather annoyed at the amount of air time the BBC give Farage! But still think they're quite neutral.
 
Also.... for me the best source of info and public feeling is LBC radio! Absolutely fantastic radio station.

Katie Hopkins to me is proper vermin, I mean to the point I wouldn't **** on her if she was on fire.... But I still listen to LBC when she's on.

Katie Hopkins is the textbook definition of attention whore, I don't think she believes half the crap she says just does it to get into the spotlight prolonging her crappy 'celebrity' career. If everyone ignored her i'm sure she would shrivel away and be forgotten rather quickly.

True.... Whats made me laugh is how universally everyone hated her. Then when brexit and immigration reared its ugly head people started to say, "Well I'm not a massive fan, but she's bang on the money here". Amazing.
