Bye bye BBC

[weeksy]

The mainstream media have been giving disproportionate airtime to nonsense for a while now.
Personally I don't want to watch News edited by cranks and conspiracists.

Surely that depends upon what side you're seeing it from ? One mans nonsense is another mans genius ?

I guess I mean basic fact checking and common sense.

Like "the queen is a lizard". You have to draw the line somewhere.

A quick example of pathetic media bias....everyone here are well aware how the media delighted in slagging off (and lying) about Tommy Robinson.
During the BLM shite a couple of black men were verbally AND physically attacking a couple of white pensioners, husband and wife, in the street.

TR was driving by with his family and saw it, he got out and stopped them, he copped a few bruises...
EVERY newspaper I read that reported this incident stated that a "passer by" intervened!

Non of them could bring themselves to give TR any recognition for doing the decent thing....

Watching breakfast Beeb last week Naga started talking about the Moons atmosphere (in relation to the astronaut who snuck a club and balls up there). The moons atmosphere is so thin it’s considered a vacuum and is about as thick as the “air” the ISS orbits in.

Not just the BBC denying TR publicity then. Good. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire, but this is a BBC thread, so lets not go down that path..


I really hate the BBC, I think they lost the plot in terms of their political agenda replacing the reporting of news about 15 years ago. They now think they are the arbiter of what's important and what's not.
Also, I pay a licence fee and 15 mins out of every hour on radio or TV are adverts, the beeb advertising the beeb.
That said, iPlayer is a good resource.

You're right. Motorbikes are shit as well.

Not worth the licence if you ask me!

I guess most of us aren't glued to the Tommy Robinson news service to be aware of these facts in the first place
Is "incredibly horrid man does nice thing" news anyway?

Wow your "cancel culture" is strong son, two attempts in one small paragraph!

Just to clarify, my post was TOTALLY on topic, I gave an example of bias by several news outlets...the BBC being one of them.
HTH.

Adolf Hitler was very fond of dogs. The BBC may have reported this.

Tommy Robinson must have been really pleased to have an excuse to kick the shit out of two blacks.

I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire either. I might be tempted to spring for a litre of 4*

Jesus wept, my post was not an excuse for you to demonstrate your vile side, it was an example of msm BIAS!
I've made a few enemies in my life and there is 3 individuals I absolutely hate, but I've NEVER considered burning to death another human....Sick.

You seem quite happy to employ hyperbole, but are shite at recognizing it when it's thrown back.

Interesting.

[demographic]

The word Vile is getting to be a bit overused on here, maybe look up alternatives?
Synonyms, differs, equivalent words, y'know.

Will be interesting to see what the BBC does about these licences dodgers ...

Send them to prison where they will get free food/board/electric/tv/radio etc?

Burn them all to death, immediately.

Was that part of the same law that made it so they can charge the over 75s?

Put them in the illegal immigrant Hiltons!

I think the BBC news sucks as well, it is watered down and one sided. I used to be in agreement of the licence fee covering some niche topics that wouldn't otherwise get any air time but niche now seems to be their priority, I'm getting bored with it appeasing minority groups.
If it changed to a subscription service I'd probably pay but that depends on their priorities, the current management might continue to push their agendas until it is almost bankrupt.

The media has always been biased. You choose your poison and you run with it.

That said, the BBC may well be guilty of lameness and laziness rather than bias.

The BBC has a legal requirement to be a Public Service Network provider so one assumes that this duty will have to continue and would be provided by free-to-air TV channels.

Anything more than that would apparently be worth £400 a year subscription charge.

BBC is TWICE value of Netflix and would cost £400-a-year as a subscription service, Tim Davie claims

Bring it on Tim.
