...yet again shows its commitment to balanced reporting.
Verbatim from tonight's new report on the migrant "caravan" from Central America heading through Mexico towards the States the Beeb says::
"Vigilantes have clearly been inspired to take action by rhetoric from the White House. Across the border are migrants who have already shown that they are prepared to take any risk in pursuit of their dream[!]"..
Is there a question other than this? Yes, what does the example I've quoted tell you about today's BBC's journalistic standards?

//Which part do you believe is not true?//
Was I saying A is true and B is false? I don't think so.
Think about th question, Chair. The B fact is that a lot of young men want to enter the US and the A fact is that a lot of Anericans don't want them to. This is not a truth[i issue as in what are the facts, it's a moral isue as in how do you interpret them?
Do you understand my point about rhetorical language? And how desirable and amusing it is to vigorous debate? And how [i]inappropriate] ti is to "objective" reporting/

//the BBC's words have not influenced you to support the migrants. Do you think some or most are more easily influenced?//
Not my question. I was asking whether the facts were being presented accurately by the highly respected news organistion. And in such a way as [i]not i] to influence the reader or listener.

This entire 'caravan' is a carefully stage-managed theatrical performance financed by George Soros and supported by the US Democrats in order to vilify President Trump.
The ordinary people of Honduras have a terrible life at home and are now being used as pawns in the globalist narrative.
We should though (in Europe) fear that this may set a very dangerous precedent and consider what we would really do if a very large, organised and financially supported group of many thousands marched on us. Would they be unstoppable?
And BTW, yes the BBC is now impossibly biased, and I hear it is completely infiltrated by left-wing feminists and homosexuals.
"Auntie" has long gone!

Surely this is already happening in Europe (though maybe not so organized)
We have seen thousands of people (illegal immigrants) turning up on the shores of Southern European countries (Greece, Italy etc).
We have seen thousands living in shanty towns in Calais ready to leap on a lorry or walk through the tunnel to get to the UK.
We have even had people turning up on the shores of Kent in the last few days.

While I accept many people live in "poor" countries not as well off as some rich countries (like the USA, UK, Germany etc) we cannot have a situation where everyone from a "poor" country has the right to go and live in a "rich" country (and sponge off it for the rest of their lives).
That way we are reduced to anarchy.
