This won't please Elizabeth, I'm sure, but I'm heartily sick to death of the blatant bias of the BBC.

Sure, the Ashcroft affair is not good, but the BBC have been running it for days, and days, and days. Today, I read elsewhere a comment to the effect that "it would not be a surprise if Ashcroft was not mentioned in the weather forecast". Even tonight the BBC website says "Ashcroft affair rumbles on". It only does because they keep it rumbling.

What I want to know, is where is the BBC coverage of these:


State advertising was £13 million in December – yet surged to £34 million last month. To put this in perspective, the cap on election spending is £19 million. The UK government is now the biggest advertising spender in the land, a title it has held since 1998.

The Unite union has received backing from its US counterpart, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, as well as large European unions. A spokesman for the Teamsters confirmed that its transport union was “mobilising” support for its BA “brothers and sisters”.

On Wednesday in Washington representatives from Unite will meet with officials from the Teamsters Airline Division.

The union behind the British Airways strike has received £18million from taxpayers under Labour...

Unite, and the two unions that formed it, received the public money under two little-known funds to improve management and training for its members.

It has been the biggest beneficiary of one of the schemes, the Union Modernisation Fund, and received a sixth of all the money given out under the Union Learning Fund.

So, here we have a government spending millions of OUR money on propaganda, a union which is trying to coerce foreign unions to bankrupt our national carrier, and that same union (which bankrolls the party in power) receiving handouts from the government .


Twenty years ago, any one of these stories would have caused outrage, brought shame upon the government, and received widespread press coverage.

Now we have next to nothing from our state broadcaster and, even when it is made public in the printed press, it is merely greeted with a shrug of the shoulders.

I am no great fan of Cameron's Tories, but this Labour administration is SO rotten that I find it quite unbelievable that anyone could possibly support Brown.

And yet, some will (especially if they are Beeboids).     

I despair.

All these were reported on Radio 4 yesterday, Ashcroft was mentionned too.

Unite donations account for at least 25% of all Liebore donations.
Unite delegates will be standing in many constituencies as Liebore candidates to parliament.
One of these Unite delegates is Harriet Harpresons husband (he is one of the most powerful figures in the union).
The constiuency in Birmingham where he is going to stand has been mysteriously exempted from the women only shortlists that his wife has imposed on many other constituencies.
Liebore - rotten to the core and rotten from the core.

As for the Beeb, I have said for a long time that it was hijacked by Lefties, it doesnt even appear to make much effort to hide its bias any more.Its just another gravy train running on taxpayers money. Abolish the licence fee is the only answer imo.

is the Rupert Murdoch's Sun by any chance......now what would that media mogul gain by pushing for the dismantling of the BBC I wonder.........

I am curious as to what you consider to be an unbiased news channel? FOX(weasel) News does indeed claim to be "fair and balanced" of course

this notion of the beeb having an agenda because they don't toe Rupert Murdoch's line beggars belief, it seems to me that unless somebody fits your world view then they have an agenda?

poppycock

......You have indeed......total 'dangle berries' though. The BBC is certainly not perfect ......but in my view it is pretty objective and well balanced in it's reporting.......Some may disagree...

Then I suggest you 'listen again' to the disgraceful way that Lord Pearson (UKIP) was interviewed on the Today programme ths morning by Evan Davies.

......Surely not.......Evan does nothing but smile at people ......as far as I can see. .....He's so nice...

It appears that some people genuinely want a News Channel to only reflect one, shared viewpoint - can you imagine what that would be like?(rupert can) I watch BBC output to be challenged, to be educated, to be informed - I want it to be informative and challenging and educational - it seems some of us have learned all there is to learn and now devote far too much energy to shutting out any differing opinion, which is sad.
I watch FOX news, I watch SKY news, I watch BBC, Channel 4, ITV, i listen to talksport and 5live among other stuff, i read the Indy, the Guardian, the times, telegraph, mail, star, FT all for various reasons and with varying degrees of credulity - i don't agree 100% on every view with any of the above outlets but surely thats the point of diversity? everyone has different opinions but you look who the overwhelming majority of people turn to for major news stories - most people, from whatever background or allegiance choose the BBC to inform them with good reason  8-)

FOX news is a commercial channel and is free to be as biased as it likes.

The BBC is a publicly-funded news service and MUST therefore be totally objective.

This article from the Mail in 2006 is rather revealing.

Of course, you will counter that anything in the Mail is a lie, but prove to me that any of the quotes in the article are fabrications if you can.

You can't.

ffs - i give up - who's next?
