In the news

Is there any actual evidence? All I hear is left and right wing people complaining that the BBC doesn't agree with them. There must be a study somewhere.

mrak is an authority on this matter. his links in the labour thread are a good source of info regarding media bias. fill yer boots.

personally - i just think the bbc is shit scared of pissing off the tories.

actually, fuck that guy - he lives in a mansion in leytonstone or some shit.

I suppose my point is it is easy to dismiss accusations of BBC bias as being driven by the personal bias of the commentator as it always seems to come from people with a strong POV and it always seems to come from both ends of the political spectrum.

That other guy is the expert.

Until someone can summarise all the evidence in an easy to read 140 characters I'll continue in my unsubstantiated belief that, although there may be variation between individual presenters/journalists/editors, the BBC managers to maintain overall balanced reporting within the boundaries of what I think is acceptably. This may be an extreme view in these heady days of the echo chamber but I think I'll get by.

Tl;dr

Tweet me a summary which I will only read when it's been retweeted by a minor celeb.

I'll paste it in here for you....

accusations of BBC bias as being driven by the personal bias of the commentator as it always seems to come from people with a strong POV and it always seems to come from both ends of the political spectrum.

Exactly this, and as long as the BBC maintains some form of balance, the accusations will continue from both sides.

I live in a bijou flat, thank you very much. Granted, it is Hampstead, but the less glamorous end.

champagne socialist!

Not sure whether to post here or WTF thread.

The easiest kind of socialist to criticise, the best kind of socialist to be

Inflation going through the roof, currency plummeting into worthlessness, racism on the rise, the UK breaking up. news agenda on radio 4 today: attack Labour.

fucking bullshit.

140 euros just cost me £135.
