It is all well and good for people like you and I to have opinions on the quality of various media sources, in fact it should be encouraged - but the President of the United States cannot point blank refuse to talk to certain sections of the press because he doesn't like the fact they're critical of him, and subsequently label them 'fake news'. It is fascist through and through. Fox News slandered Obama for years, insinuating he was a Muslim and that he wasn't even born in the US - but I don't remember him refusing to take questions from them at press conferences or acting like a petulant child? |

What always makes me laugh about the accusations of bias thrown at the BBC is that they're levelled from both those on the right and those on the left. Constantly. What does that actually tell you? That in actual fact they do a pretty good job of riding the middle.

Trump going after the BBC like that was absolutely moronic, much like mostly anything he does. That entire press conference was a baffling mess of half-truths and ego stroking, just insane.

The constant criticism levelled at Laura Kuenssberg for her treatment and endless trashing of Corbyn (that the BBC Trust found breached impartiality rules, as well as another senior figure commenting that BBC News' depiction of him had been unfair)? Nigel Farage being invited on Question Time more than literally anyone else? The refusal to report on anti government marches whilst other channels do? The general discreet support of the government? These are all pretty blatant things. From my perspective this all levels out when you consider other evidence and that of course they're going to be pro establishment when they're under threat of being cut, but yes, there is definitely accusations of bias thrown at the BBC from both those on the right and left. |

“It’s a bit like walking into a Sunday meeting of the Flat Earth Society. As they discuss great issues of the day, they discuss them from the point of view that the earth is flat.
“If someone says, ‘No, no, no, the earth is round!’, they think this person is an extremist. That’s what it’s like for someone with my right-of-centre views working inside the BBC.” – Jeff Randall, former BBC business editor |

The BBC is “a publicly-funded urban organisation with an abnormally large proportion of younger people, of people in ethnic minorities and almost certainly of gay people, compared with the population at large”.
All this, he said, “creates an innate liberal bias inside the BBC”. –Andrew Marr |

By far the most popular and widely read newspapers at the BBC are The Guardian and The Independent. *Producers refer to them routinely for the line to take on *running stories, and for inspiration on which items to cover. In the later stages of my career, I lost count of the number of times I asked a producer for a brief on a story, only to be handed a copy of The Guardian and told ‘it’s all in there’.
– Peter Sissons, Former BBC News and Current Affairs presenter |

“In the BBC I joined 30 years ago [as a production trainee, in 1979], there was, in much of current affairs, in terms of people’s personal politics, which were quite vocal, a massive bias to the left. The organisation did struggle then with impartiality. And journalistically, staff were quite mystified by the early years of Thatcher.
“Now it is a completely different generation. There is much less overt tribalism among the young journalists who work for the BBC. It is like the New Statesman, which used to be various shades of soft and hard left and is now more technocratic. We’re like that, too.” – Mark Thomspon, former BBC Director General |

Roger Mosey, former head of BBC TV news, has published a book giving chapter and verse on the Corporation's liberal bias.
Mosey, who also used to edit Radio 4's Today programme, confirms that Auntie leans so far Leftwards that she frequently topples over into propaganda. He's the first truly senior BBC executive to do so. As such, he is in a position to provide killer details. We learn not just the extent of the BBC's liberal group-think, but also exactly how news stories are reshaped and 'sanitised' to fit the agenda of the only newspaper the Beeb's journalists read from cover to cover — the Guardian, it goes without saying. 'One night on the Ten O'Clock News we broadcast a package from a racially diverse part of Britain, where ethnic minorities had become a majority of the local population,' writes Mosey. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/ar...-s-biased.html |

Over the weekend the BBC’s former political editor confessed — in an interview in the Sunday Times — that he had written to several BBC colleagues over concerns that the corporation’s political coverage is biased against Jeremy Corbyn. When asked by Lynn Barber whether he was ‘shocked’ by the way the BBC ‘rubbish Jeremy Corbyn’, Robinson replied ‘yes’:
‘Yes. Oddly, although I was off work, I did drop a note to a few people after his first weekend saying this is really interesting and we owe it to the audience to sound as if we’re interested.’ |
