Bbc Already Biased On Day 1

[Khandro]

I have just looked at this morning's reporting online of Brexit in both the Telegraph and the BBC, has anyone looked? The Telegraph is full of optimism and the BBC is so down beat. High on the BBC UK homepage is Tarzan's usual doom-laden diatribe, and it informs us that the residents of Spain think it is bad (despite nothing having yet happened.)
Recently a group of back-benchers called for some form of action to be taken about BBC bias, do they have a point, or are we in for 2 years of this?

This is just the start Khandro.I saw on the news last night Huw Edwards looking as mournful as ever.Never mind,just keep faith because I believe Theresa May will achieve a good deal for us in the end.

dinnae put telly on !

[1ozzy]

BBC biased in one direction, Telegraph biased in the other?

What media outlet is not biased in someway.

[donny48]

Heseltine says that we have no leverage with the EU but surely bing one of the EU's biggest customers will always give us some degree of leverage.

[cassa333]

Agree with 1ozzy.

Bias works both ways.

It will probably be bumpy along the way and any set back will be pounced on by the remoaners. We will just have to get used to that.

What does need to happen though is when the remoaners start on project fear mark 2 or 3 or however far up the number line they get is to counter it every time with the positives.

Talk the country down and we slip down. Talk the country up and we jump higher.

[donny48]

I dislike the word remoaner, there must be thousands like me who voted to remain but, being in a democratic country, accept the exit. There is nothing to be gained by constantly bringing up remain or exit, accept what is and work towards a better future, it will not be as bright as the ardent exiters believe but will not be as dire as the remainers wish.

The remoaners
Weren't they a pop group from the
eighties ?

[ichkeria]

We've got two years of this indeed. If we're lucky. God help us. If I was you khandro I'd stick to the unbiased RT, which is of course not at all .. :-)

[cassa333]

Point taken Danny but it is the generic name for remainers and describes the Remainers that are still constantly moaning.

Ramones

[ToraToraTora]

The BBC is full of remainiac luvvies so we can look forward to perpetual doom and gloom from them!

[ichkeria]

Surely those on the Brexit side also have been known to emit the odd moan-like noises over the last 9 months. Judges are the enemy of the people, the fifth columnists are amongst us etc etc. The country is united in misery and suspicion :-) I blame the weather

[Bazile]

Yes ,I do know they were called the Ramones

[Kromovaracun]

There is no such thing as an "unbiased" source. What matters is how ethical the BBC's reporting on Heseltine/Spanish public opinion is.

[youngmafbog]

Yes Donny, Remoaner does not refer to the vast majority of people who voted to leave but accept the democratic result. Unfortunately there are a significant amount of luvies and politicians who are able to use their influence unduly to attempt to crash Brexit.

1Ozzy, yes but the BBC is a public funded body and therefore shold have no bias. We can not by the Telegraph or the Guardian but we have no choice but to pay for the Biased Broadcasting Corporation.

Tarzan is a backstabbing traitor to the Party and democracy. Always has been, always will.

[youngmafbog]

Yes there is Krom, you simply give both sides. And you dont grimace or look glum when giving one side or the other.

[Kromovaracun]

Also, I'm sorry but the country's fortunes are unaffected by whether you talk them up and down. This is magical thinking.

[vulcan42]

Did we ever have any meaningful leverage with the EU?
The BBC used to be considered the best and most unbiased broadcaster in the world, now it's not much better than a second rate newspaper. I fear this will go on for at least two years, probably a lot longer. I wish the back-benchers luck but I doubt they will get very far in their quest. However I think this goes far deeper than then biased media outlets, there are far too many people in this country who, having not got what they wanted (staying in the EU), are determined to do everything they can to undermine the process just to prove themselves right. I find that despicable.

[anneasquith]

BBC is not the only news channel, don't look at it .!!!!!

[anotheoldgit]

If we had had a referendum to join Hitler's Europe or not, I wonder how many would have then chosen to join?

Times may become hard on leaving the EU, but let us get some of that patriotic spirit back we once had and join together in getting Great Britain back on it's feet regardless of what Europe might throw at us.

We managed it back then, we can do it again.

[youngmafbog]

Thats not the point is it Anne? I am still paying for the propoganda. Whys hold I?
