It doesn't matter since it's not an American broadcaster

And you could say the same about Fox News's blatant bias for the GOP

I'm not talking about American broadcasters. I'm talking about how a British tax-payer owned corporation seems to be openly endorsing a political candidate by only offering a one-sided view. Fox News can do what it wants as it is owned commercially by BSKYB - it has no obligations to fulfill and it can act as it wants. The BBC on the other hand...

Pretty much all of the UK news channels are biased for Hillary/Obama. Then again I suppose most news channels are biased in some ways. Don't think i've ever seen a news channel thats pretty much half/half

I think pretty much all people are biased towards her, not just news channels. She's not the ideal choice for president but the alternative is surely unthinkable. I want the US voters to say something to Trump he hasn't heard, probably in his whole life: No.

Oh i totally agree, but to barely mention any of the scandals that have happened is just plain wrong imo.

The Media is biased.

Just look at our last General Election that blatantly favoured Cameron over Miliband.

I watched the coverage of most of the speeches live as they happened and they absolutely did mention the Sanders' supporters refusing to support her, the emails scandals, and as far as I'm aware Clinton doesn't actually address them until tonight so can't really comment on the others you've mentioned?

The Veep candidate Kaine didn't really get much coverage, I'll give you that, he was just constantly referred to as a "safe choice" and someone with links to the military and centre grounds that's been chosen to try and win over disenfranchised republicans.

The BBC are permanently between a rock and a hard place where basically anything they broadcast - or neglect to broadcast - is perceived as a slight against one viewpoint or the other. You can forensically examine anything for signs of bias and foam at the mouth about it or you can recognise that they have nothing to gain from favouring either side and appreciate that the BBCs world coverage is overall absolutely fantastic

Of Course MTVN
the poor around the World
need the BBC.

But it matters for us in the UK


I have stated this before on another thread,
on the London Bombing
It was shocking that the BBC Reports
kept saying it was Gas Explosions?
Why the Feck would the BBC do that?


Of course SkyNews
(The UK's First 24/7 News Station)
called it a "Terrorist Attack" once more
than one went off.
The Public must know the truth
FAST.

Thats cause they always have to be so cautious though in case they're accused of reporting something inaccurate or of pushing one agenda, they're always restricted to reporting official statements and the like instead
