The days of events actually being reported on are gone, nowadays a lot of it is comment and partial opinion being passed off as fact.

Cornwall_Saint Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/09/douma-syria-regime-bashar-al-assad-murder-civilians#comments This disgraceful piece in The Guardian is promoting the fact the UK should take military action because of "Assad's chemical attack", while of course not giving us any evidence the Syrian government actually carried this attack. If you go to the comments section, change Comments:Newest to Recommendations , it's clear that many people in the UK (and elsewhere) have given up on their media, many of us after the WMDs in Iraq nonsense we were fed. Thankfully this lack of belief in the media is one positive in otherwise worrying times. I'm delighted to see the author has been torn apart for this horror of a "news piece". I of course put in my thoughts too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B*C propaganda became particularly clear in the run up to the Scottish Referendum and also the run up to the vote on Europe. .

Funny that...I made reference to that in another thread and three people in a row shot me down in flames and ridiculed me for making the whole accusations of BBC bias up!

Really? they took action against a facility that they say sent aircraft into their airspace. Much as i detest the expansionist agenda I think they are within their rights to send a few warnings and deter more serious action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you had said "some Yes voters" you would have been correct. You're not having a good week so far. You should breathe between your fits of pique.

Maybe if you had said "some Yes voters" you would have been correct. You're not having a good week so far. You should breathe between your fits of pique. There was no such implication whatsoever. If you chose to take it that way then so be it. Obviously it is not all yes voters. That was such a fundemental gimme I honestly didn't think it worth stating. Gee your awfy touchy!

Many people down here have a bad image of Scottish Nationalism and the SNP because of the terrible coverage they get. A number of them think it's an anti-English campaign and don't understand what the SNP is actually about. Naturally the Conservatives are very helpful in this bad imagery. I remember billboards down here showing Alex Salmond picking the pocket of Ed Miliband in their "Labour-SNP coalition would be awful" campaign.

I wouldn't say it's a political bias, it's a state bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as i detest the expansionist agenda I think they are within their rights to send a few warnings and deter more serious action. Oh, so everytime theres a perceived airspace incursion then it's OK to bomb the country you claim the planes came from. Why don't we do that with Russia? It's nothing to do with the chemical attack that is blamed on assad.Nothing to do with israel giving air support to Islamic militants fighting assad. The same mutants who are funded from Saudi and UAE and armed by USA and UK?Yeah its all about encroaching into airspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a public broadcast service that isn't meant to have any bias because we are all paying for the service but they definitely have an agenda now.. 28. We have a right to a free and fair world. .
