Anyone who was watching the EU referendum results show post Sunderland must have thought they were watching a funeral broadcast. Surprised they didn't all have a wardrobe change during a news break and come back wearing black. When it was announced leave had won Laura Kuenssberg was almost in tears and it was negative from then on - the first reaction coming from Emily Thornberry.
The BBC may try to be impartial but the liberal pro EU London centric bias of most of its presenters bar Andrew Neil just shines through https://biasedbbc.org |

That's the major problem with the BBC, they peer out at the world from inside their London media, liberal elite bubble and can't even imagine there might even be people in the real world with a different viewpoint. At least if people do have a different view to the one dimensional BBC then they must be wrong.

Anyone who thinks the BBC is impartial should compare their coverage of the death of Baroness Thatcher to their coverage of Fidel Castro's demise. They had not one good word to say about Margaret Thatcher.
Quote:
Margaret Thatcher, who has died following a stroke, was one of the most influential political figures of the 20th Century. Which seems meticulously balanced to me.
Her legacy had a profound effect upon the policies of her successors, both Conservative and Labour, while her radical and sometimes confrontational approach defined her 11-year period at No 10. Her term in office saw thousands of ordinary voters gaining a stake in society, buying their council houses and eagerly snapping up shares in the newly privatised industries such as British Gas and BT. But her rejection of consensus politics made her a divisive figure and opposition to her policies and her style of government led eventually to rebellion inside her party and unrest on the streets. |

[QUdOTE=onecitizen;85025204]That's the major problem with the BBC, they peer out at the world from inside their London media, liberal elite bubble and can't even imagine there might even be people in the real world with a different viewpoint.

https://biasedbbc.org[/quote] It's hard to express. what a dumb ass thread this is. It's akin to Brexshitters complaining about economics professors at universities with EU funding having the temerity to form a view. People would have to be educationally sub normal not to realise that the EU funds all manner of public institutions in the same way that it funds Cornwall to the tune if billions; that's what the EU is SUPPOSED to do You may as well suggest that all Cornish should have been debarred from voting thanks to their obvious EU bias... Err, hang on, how did Cornwall vote again? ![]() Well, that's your theory screwed then. And for Christ sake, give it a rest with the "liberal, london elitist where the **** did I leave my tin foil hat" sh1te already. And the very fact that the OP "reads" let alone believes the Daily Express should debar him from voting. |

For them to deny that Corbyn has done great damage to the Labour Party's future prospects would be stretching credibilty just a little too far. The BBC is a bunch of metropolitan upper class socialists. The BBC lost all pretence of impartiality in the Scottish referendum, from Nick Robinson's outright lies to discussion programmes with 3 unionists vs one independence person, not mentioning all the ordering of news and bias by omission. |

Well, no. It probably has far more middle-class liberals than "upper class socialists", though I can't actually think of any examples of the latter. It employs a fair number of Tories too of course.

The Express are so confident of reeling in the gullible that they basically just re-print the same story. In the OP's link it says 'after it emerged' when the Express themselves reported it in 2015. And it was no more of a story then.
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/628...-to-referendum As others have mentioned, the Research & Development funding is primarily to help the BBC develop broadcasting/transmission technology which is then shared around the rest of the EU. That's exactly the kind of project you'd expect the EU to undertake. When the UK finally leaves the EU, the funding will undoubtedly stop and the EU will have to find another broadcaster to continue the research. The BBC's impartial news coverage will remain independent from the EU regardless of any of the above. |

Response here, Beanybun: Seems to me that Cornwall is an example of why people voted to leave. I've only looked into their situation in passing, but weren't huge amounts of money horribly squandered, and the residents subsequently robbed of its benefits? I was looking into Cornwall to see if it was big on the leadership training. Turns out it is, and it also looks like they've got the money issues that follow the leadership training about. Imagine my surprise. The BBC is the station that's renowned for using this training. Of course there is bias created by this. It changes people. |

Well, the extend of the investment isn't disputed, those who say it's "our money" reinvested are daft (if so, why weren't we investing "our" money over many decades when Cornwall had the highest suicide rate in the country). Where money is spent people always cry foul and claim it could be spent better. In other news, water is wet and haters will hate.

The BBC really does need to get out of it's left wing comfort zone, if it doesn't it's credibility which is already dented will be destroyed forever.

I wish this forum could make up its mind whether the BBC is left-wing or right-wing biased.

I'm not saying we shouldn't spend "our money" on them. I'm getting at the fact that people are prepared to forego it to send a message: they are tired of the illusion. The money is always squandered where the leadership training exists -- its founder even extols the virtues of the Useful Idiot. Once they are involved, there is a kind of brainwashing, and everything starts to go wrong. It'd be worth looking at the BBC's failed schemes and the people behind them, as well as considering why Alan Yentob was so enamoured with Camila Batmanghelidjh.

They must wonder why they are forced to pay the TV Tax. |

In other words, people with very strong views will always feel the BBC is biased against them because the BBC isn't the echo chamber they want it to be. |

Sure, there's a liberalism (small l!) implicit in the BBC; do you really want your media to look like Fox, or Breitbart? They don't have "failed" schemes because they don't run "schemes" at all; they neither fund nor want them, as tends to be the case with those exhibiting far right, fascistic tendencies. You can't improve as a society unless you improvise, change, explore and question. This Isn't unique to broadcasting, or say the NHS, it applies equally to life.
You can't improve a society if you exploit the Chatham House Rule. |

You need to get out of your right wing deluded zone. Every single source that is pulled up has no credibility. First the Express now the Torygraph?
