Wow How Biased Can The Bbc Get?

[Iggle Piggle]

Still nothing on the BBC about the Twitter hashtag #CameronMustGo.
Does David Cameron own the BBC, are they just toeing a political line or are they simply too scared to report on a mass Tweet subject that may rock the PMs position?

[bibblebub]

they haven't mentioned the hashtag #bignorks either

[Iggle Piggle]

I don't think even that hashtag would generate over 107,000 tweets ! (views, maybe but not tweets)

[bibblebub]

and how many of those are original tweets and not RTs

[EDDIE51]

i do not 'do' twitter what is all this about? Is it about a specific incident or just general moaning? I have heard nothing from ITV either!

[bibblebub]

general moaning, EDDIE51 https://twitter.com/search?q=%23CameronMustGo

[EDDIE51]

Just googled it , yes general moaning , I can't see what can be done about it. People moan whatever government is in power. It is no more than the Labour party complain about every day in parliament.

If the BBC reported every bit of nonsense on systems such as Twitter and the like they would have no time to show Eastenders, Strictly Come Dancing and the snooker.

Considering almost 19m people voted against the Conservatives in 2010 (and probably many that voted for them were none too fond of Mr Cameron) 107,000 moans, especially with the like of Jack Monroe among them, is not a great number.

how can you possibly imply the BBC is biased towards the conservatives? they are more left wing than any footballer I have ever heard of.

I don't do Twitter either. Thank you bibblebub, I've had a look at the link. It seems like general, puerile moaning - or else I am just completely out of the loop and simply didn't waste enough time looking further through the comments. The only thing that made any sense to me was the reference to Grimsby - they are very, very angry with the EU over there - their fishing industry has been destroyed. So, no comment on the BBC. Perhaps they feel that most people don't tweet?

I don't see why any reasonably respectable broadcaster should report all this.

[BlackadderV]

Although I am no fan of Cameron (though a Tory through and through) this is ridiculous. Only little dicky birds go Tweet.

On a Radio 5 live phone-in recently one caller criticised the BBC for its blatant left-wing bias and the very next caller criticised the BBC for its blatant right-wing bias. I'm inclined to think the truth is that it's somewhere in the middle, but that those on either extreme see anything that doesn't agree with them as "left-wing" if they're on the right and "right-wing" if they're on the left. As if these are somehow insults...

[Svejk]

Don't lets be silly, jim. The Beeb is so left-wing it would embarrass Trotsky.

[jim360]

Quite. But then like I said some left wingers don't agree. So, you know, maybe it's just not all that leftwing after all?

[youngmafbog]

The BBC does not have a left wing bias ?

Haha hahahaha hahahahah

My sides are splitting here.

/// The BBC must be very Pro Con, the way they only report good news for the
Tory Party, noticed they never gave much air space to the Students Riot , last week , but a lot of space for Millibands unpopular poll figures . ///

Or perhaps they were embarrassed by the antics of their fellow leffties

[lady-janine]

the bbc are so left wing they've gone full circle and joined up with themselves.
