This thread was made in response to the pro-BBC minions in my other thread.
I'm curious to know whether people genuinely believe the BBC to be unbiased or if they just stay silent because it's biased the way they want it to be. So politically, you are Kipper/Right-Winger are you...one of those who objects to your opinions being challenged? |

Please explain how an organisation that is disproportionately represented by minorities and special interest groups and seeks to censor any dissent against them is unbiased.
Please explain how any political discussion aired by the BBC requires an approximately 80/20 audience ratio in favour of left-wing opinions is unbiased. Please explain how an organisation that refuses to be put under the scrutiny of OFCOM unlike it's competitors is unbiased. I could go on and give you every quote on the list I provided but to save space I'll simply redirect you to the link I provided in the OP. There is mountainous evidence to suggest the BBC is heavily biased, why are you either ignoring this evidence or refusing to acknowledge it? So your agenda is what exactly? Time to 'fess up! |

The fact that the BBC gives air time to all political sides and challenges them all fairly without fear or favour makes it balanced. This is a fact. I know because I watch a lot of BBC output. I also know what 'bias' and 'balance' means.
So politically, you are Kipper/Right-Winger are you...one of those who objects to your opinions being challenged? Meanwhile it is the left that is truly unable to handle criticism by throwing labels such as "racist" and "homophobic" every time their worldview is challenged. |

And I'm just supposed to take your word for it am I?
As I have said numerous times, they are not the ones who are pretending to be non-biased. It is possible to make an informed decision taking both sides of the story into account. Blindly believing everything the BBC tells you does NOT make you informed. |

That's ONE producer versus the hundreds of producers who would have you believe every member of Britain First is a babbling, knuckle-dragging, Hitler worshipping racist.
Also it's irrelevant as BBC have never showed any kind of favour towards Britain First, they have been described as a far-right hate group. It also doesn't change the fact that Question Time audiences are ridiculously biased in favour of left-wing opinions. Utter rubbish. You clearly don't watch the show!

Yes I am biased against the BBC in the same way you are biased against the BBC.
I have presented plenty of evidence to back up my claim. The evidence is in the way the BBC censors dissenting opinion against minority groups. Any criticism of Muslims is branded as Islamophobic on Question Time or any kind of panel discussion they air. the BBC were staunchly pro-Gay Marriage and opposing opinions where never aired. Not without harsh and overly emotional criticism. I also have no reason to believe Andrew Marr is lying when he speaks of the demographics of the BBC. You on the other hand seem to believe he IS lying. What do you believe is his motivation? |

Britian First is a far-right racist operation. This is a fact. I know since Brexit we live in a post-truth era...but seriously? Are you looking to be taken seriously around these parts?
Utter rubbish. You clearly don't watch the show! ![]() There are black, sikh and even gay members of Britain First. They have even openly said they will welcome Muslims who are opposed to extremism. Throwing around words like racist will not get you taken seriously anymore. The far right elements do not define Britain First. You would know that if you didn't rely on the BBC's portrayal of them. It is not "racist" to oppose Islamic extremism. If you believe this to be the case then it's you who should not be taken seriously. |

Or of course you don't see bias because they are promoting your same ideals.
The BBC is not balanced. With respect, you are talking nonsense. I see many of the views I hold being challenged on the Beeb. I value it (the Beeb) because you always get both sides of the story. I know because I have to put up with the dreadful Farrage on the Beeb (although I avoided him on QT last night because I am sick and tired of him and will not forgive him for all the division and hate he has pushed within the UK). |

Here are some quotes from former BBC editors on the blatant left-wing bias, most demonstrable in the laughable Question Time audiences:

It is not the right that object to their opinions being challenged. This is inevitable, we have been called every name under the sun for years and are used to it.

People who express racist views will be labelled as racists...and rightly so. People who express anti-gay rhetoric will be called out as homophobic and rightly so. |

Yes it is. What is YOUR agenda?
To stand up for and defend 'the truth'. To not allow those who have an anti agenda to unfairly criticise our fab-u-lous British Broadcasting Corporation because it is the very best that we have. The BBC: For All Of Us. |

If I want independent political analysis the BBC is the last place I would seek it. RT has more credibility.

Why do people believe the BBC is unbiased?
Anyone who thinks that BBC News and Sky News are biased has lost the plot. Overall, these news channels both do a pretty good job and they are both light years better than inane state propaganda channels such as Russia Today (Gob of Kremlin TV) or Press TV (Iran). |

I'm glad it's not just me. Why did I fall for the bait and feed it? My bad.
You seem to be operating from the logic that it is an absolute truth that Britain First are a "bad" and that anybody who says otherwise is a stupid, racist moron. I am telling you that while it may have racist elements their ultimate goal is not racist and the BBC's portrayal of them is overly simplistic. But of course anybody who tries to rationally debate the pros and cons of Britain First is automatically dismissed and name-called. Ironically it is you who are baiting me by dismissing me in such a way, I will however not rise to the bait and continue to debate in a mature and polite manner. For the record I do NOT support Britain First. I am firmly within the UKIP camp. I am simply saying I agree with their actual objective and not the mythical objective the mainstream media are constantly foisting upon them. |
