I don't know if it would be "wall to wall", I will take your word on that. My hypothetical question exists only becasue the BBC didn't do a good job in some people's eyes as is apparent from the thread. My question is more about bias itself and how one's view could change depending on which side of the fence one is. It was just a question mate.

Corbyn wore a raincoat last year and it was called disrespectful. I'm Labour, I'm not 100% Corbyn, but I have seen it with my own eyes. I know it's just a question, not having a dog at you. I just know that there is massive corruption in media, even local. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there people who think that doctoring footage is them doing a good job? Wouldn't anyone who isn't a propagandist just want them to use the correct footage, regardless of who might benefit politically from it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They accidentally went into the archives and replaced yesterday's footage with pictures from three years ago. Could have happened to anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 thing is though, they used the actual footage, then spliced this into the old footage as Johnson lays the wreath. No way it's a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I find it all a bit sad really what the BBC has turned into. I used to always think that you could trust the BBC and what is was reporting as it was impartial but that is now clearly not the case and hasn't been for some time. Another great thing about Britain the Tories have ruined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I used to believe in the BBC but I'd be completely fine with it being privatised. It has become a complete and utter joke, if it's not shilling for the current government it's taking the lead of the populist gutter trash press on everything from content to what they report on in the news. The BBC can **** right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC can **** right off. It doesn't need to be and shouldn't be privatised. It just needs to have an independent board. And that board needs to be voted on by the public, and should include people from a broad range of society. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2019 Damaging public trust in the BBC will delight many Tories. Chip away, eventually you can flog it to your mates. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two ideas are likely to be in conflict with each other, and I don't think either are necessary (and the former is a bad idea IMO). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs the political appointments shaken out of it and it needs to know it doesn’t have to chase every demographic niche Identified by science.
