And presumably there's not much going on in Yemen at the moment. It might be a nice place to go on holiday this year.

That's an opinion and one you seem perfectly happy to use any source as confirmation bias.

UKIP gets loadsamoney from the EU. Do you think that could make UKIP a pro-EU organisation? Do you think it influences how UKIP views the EU. If not, why should the BBC be influenced by a little research money?
Nothing about the BBC surprises me anymore and i think they would go down that route. Just like our politicians with their cash for questions. |

No, it's a non-story because it's a piece of shit masquerading as journalism. I thought you hadn't even read it?

Is the BBC left wing or right wing this month?

So why would a relatively small grant for R&D purposes affect how the BBC reports things? It's not as if they are likely to be funding a joint R&D project solely for their own ends.

There is no "major problem", as the BBC does not have a single viewpoint. It airs many different views.
Care to count up how many reports there were of immigrants boating to Europe in the 3 months leading up to June 23rd last year on the BBC? That tells you everything. Quote:
For a broadcaster than "oppresses their viewpoint", the BBC seem to give a Farage (and his ilk) a disproprotionate platform to spout his views. He seems to be on Question Time every other week. If that's "oppressing" a viewpoint, I wonder how they treat someone they agree with.
Quote:
But the article isn't true. What these hack journalists do is find some basic information (in this case the widely known fact that the BBC receives funding to conduct technical research for the EU) and then they extrapolate a complete unsupported theory out of it.
Where is their evidence that the technical research project has any influence over the BBC's editorial impartiality? There is none! And yet you believe the theory without appearing to ask any questions about it. BIB2 - see my point above about immigrants boating in to Europe. Why would the BBC shut down all coverage of the immigrants entering Europe as we head for a referendum? |

Yes, it does. From Yvette "I'll take in migrants" Cooper to Diane "Divide and rule" Abbott.

Does it? What exactly does it tell you?Quote:

I can't imagine that they did any such thing. It sounds extremely unlikely.

How it sounds to you and how it actually played out is clearly very different.

BIB1 - Yes it is. You may not like the Express but that in itself doesn't make it untrue.
It's a non-story. Simple research grants, as awarded to many other bodies throughout the land. But the useless Daily Express hack has made it into an ersatz story by finding some bloviating buffoons to quote telling us it's a scandal, when it very clearly isn't.Quote:

You've made that up in your head.

Not that I can point to. All I can draw on (unless I go out of my way to lodge a FOI request) is how all reports of migrants entering Europe seemed to completely cease almost immediately after the referendum campaigns kicked off about a year ago. Until then, it was on the BBC news almost every day, multiple times. Even my Romanian immigrant wife noticed and commented on it.

Nope. Perhaps if you had both eyes open you'd see it too.

From the first page of hits: 4 April: Migrant crisis: Greece starts deportations to Turkey 8 April: Migrant crisis: Deportations resume from Greece to Turkey 23 May: Migrant crisis: Libya intercepts boats carrying 850 people 29 May: European migrant crisis: Shipwrecks 'kill up to 700 migrants' 3 June: Migrant crisis: Hundreds rescued from boat off Crete And many more pages of results. Bit of a rubbish "shutdown", eh? |

I'd probably need to borrow your special truther glasses, that apparently filter out anything contrary to your world view.
Just a weeks viewing across their entire output will tell you otherwise. From game/satire shows choc full of anti UKIP/Brexit stuff to dramas and soaps like Holby City & Silent Witness with their politically and socially slanted agendas. |
