General Election 2019

I feel like such an old man saying this but I feel really disappointed by how the BBC has acted this election

I’m not sure anybody is particularly pleased with the BBC now days.

I am sure someone will dismiss it for being Craig Murray but some analysis of the Yougov poll from yesterday:

Given Laura Kuenssberg recent record she’ll just be repeating what 2 Tory sources have told her and it be followed by a labour landslide victory in the PV.

Who knows, perhaps she’ll apologise for breaking electoral law, yeah right.

It's going to look very suspect when she accepts her peerage in a few years time.

I can’t decide whether Kuenssberg is really bad, or really good at her job.

Thought this was pretty apt summation of Kuenssberg's contribution to journalistic standards at the BBC...

BBC News Press Team

Regarding today’s Politics Live programme, the BBC does not believe
it, or its political editor, has breached electoral law.

The two thrusts of my complaint were; a) the assault story was bate as fuck to anyone
with a passing interest in politics so she should have known better, b) if Twitter is too fast moving to fact-check then maybe you need to think about your policy.

The pair of them Toryberg and Peston are a total fucking disgrace, nothing more then trumpets for CCHQ

More dodgy BBC coverage.

Honestly, that’s fucking disgraceful

'The people vs. the BBC'?

I think that's a slip of the tongue, 'deserves' instead of 'desires'. Whether or not it's a proper Freudian slip, who knows.
Kuenssberg's cock up was just bad journalism and she certainly should be censured for not checking the story and trusting in her, clearly partisan, sources, especially when things are so fraught. Whether or not she rushed ahead because of a sub-conscious bias leading her to believe anti-Labour stories is the question.

My partner has just been phoning (activity called phonebanking apparently?) Labour supporters in Warrington South. She says quite a few told her they'd be voting Tory tomorrow.

does she ask why?

bury south predicted to go blue :(

No way
