From 2013 the report 'bias at the beeb' by the 'Centre for Policy Studies' showed the left wing bias at the BBC.

Statistically they looked into evidence that revealed this long known bias.

To quote from the article:

The BBC are more likely to cover left-wing think tank reports and to hail them as “independent” while giving right-wing research a “health warning” by pointing out its ideological position

Oliver Latham, who compiled the Bias at the Beeb report, said: “Our results suggest the BBC exhibits a left-of-centre bias in both the amount of coverage it gives to different opinions and the way in which these voices are represented.”

The team compared the coverage given to think tanks on the BBC website with that given by the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph.

The BBC covered seven out of ten of the stories on the Guardian, but only mentioned three out of ten reports which had been covered by this newspaper over the set period.

Of reports on four left-of-centre think tanks only one received a health warning - defined as statement of a think tank’s views, ideological position, or connection to a political figure - more than 10 per cent of the time, and one never received a warning.

In comparison, the warning appeared on between 25 and 60 per cent of reports on five right-of-centre organisations.

“In other words, the BBC seems to treat right-of-centre views as being more "extreme" and in need of caveats than roughly equivalent left-of-centre views,” Mr Latham wrote in the Sunday Times.

A similar trend was discovered in the corporation’s tendency to reinforce the views of an organisation by describing them as “independent”.

Three of the left-of-centre organisations were described as independent, compared with just one of the right-wing think tanks.

“The implication seems to be that the BBC sees left-of-centre views as being more reliable than right-of-centre ones. Overall, the picture is that the existing accusations of bias at the BBC are supported by a more dispassionate, quantitative analysis,” Mr Latham said.

He said they could not answer where this slant came from, but added: “The results are consistent with both subconscious "group think" among BBC journalists or a more deliberate left-of-centre bias.”

the BBC coverage of the death of Thatcher was disgraceful. An elected Prime Minister and they did a total hatchet job on her.

similar now to Trump.

the BBC hate the wishes of the electorate when it deviates from their Pinko agenda.

now even if you hate these politicians with every bone in your body, you must see that the job of the national broadcaster is separate from private morality.

Younger generations are now seeing donald trump as worse than Ted Heath, which is shocking to behold.

very misleading headline compared to the actual content. It wasn't Luton airport's fault his wheelchair was lost. They offered him a wheelchair which he declined and then decided to make a spectacle of himself to evoke sympathy.He didn't want to be pushed but he is a para athlete so he could have wheeled himself through the airport.

There is a problem with airports and airlines assisting wheelchair users but this isn't one of them and smacks of a compo claim.

I am currently watching a BBC documentary about black people in cinema. It is quite interesting especially about the early days when black actors really did struggle. Where I take issue is the current crop who moan about how hard it is (whilst banking their millions). Don Cheadle summed it up for me "Hollywood is only interested in one colour, green".

Money is everything, the so called top actors are paid the most because they put bums on seats. Hollywood doesn't care if they are black or female or just lousy actors give the public what they want.

In this program Hollywwod gets a lot of flack when really it is only reflecting the viewing tastes of the wider society. You can blame the public if we don't see enough ethnic / women lead actors. However would you put £200m into a movie that is socially relevant and nobodies watches? As usual actors of all colours are very quick to spend someone else's money.

I said about Black Panther if it is a hit they will make more and it has been. Stand by for more black superhero characters.

Meanwhile back on topic I was disturbed not to find a positive life affirming transgender story today. The BBC really is slipping up.

-----------------------------
Well that didn't take long for the BBC to spot their mistake. They have now posted a life affirming story in the news section

Isn't that "cultural appropriation"?

Fook me, I think we have a full house today...!

'Carole King pens anti-Trump song'

'What is 'Green Cake' and why did this woman invent it?' A positive story on a Palestinian woman (Two boxes ticked here).

Always on the side of the pro-EU Europeans: 'Leo Varadkar: Brexit 'undermined' the Good Friday Agreement'

'The couple still together after gender reassignment'

And a couple of disability stories...

..


the BBC will give precious little coverage to those many irish who see Varadkar as Merkel's little attack-dog puppet.

The Good Friday Agreement was never meant to be an EU stick to beat up Westminster. It IS about Peace, mutual respect and different tribes all trying to get along while respecting each other's differences.
