Thread: BBC

All media is biased to some degree. The question is really how much and the motivations lying behind the bias. What's your point?

It seems to me that it has been primarily noise from the right calling the media biased & left-leaning. I'd have to say from my carefull and constant observations that this is patently false. What gets decried as left wing bias tends to be reportage that generally contradicts or challenges propaganda, wishfull-thinking, whatever you want to call it from the right. Because a broadcast or print story centers around the theory of evolution, does that give it an automatic leftist slant? Because news stories from the middle east focus on the devastation & loss of life & political clusterf@%k rather than "march of democracy" around the world, is that reportage automatically leftist?

You're, again, beginning to sound like Hannity, digging in your heels to rabidly defend a non-issue. There's plenty of rightwing noise out there to feed your need for "balance". You don't like the BBC... turn it off, right letters to the news division, start your own program, paper, blogsite.

I don't use these resources to justify anything. My current beliefs exist outside of the media. Oddly enough, the shrill screeching from the right side of the bias line has inadvertently confirmed and justified them for me.
