Typical example of BBC bias, this is the headline:

"Black women most likely to die in medieval London plague"

[Link]

The headline is an exaggeration something the Mail / Guardian / Mirror and The Sun do all the time, however I am told the BBC doesn't do that.

The study is based on 145 corpse, it is not clear if all of these 145 were black women or just a percentage but as the BBC uses the word individuals I suspect the later.

Eventually the BBC does mention that more than 50% of Londoners died an horrific death toll (35k).

So how many of those 35k were black?

Given that more than 50% of all people died is it really that significant if the mortality rate for black women was higher?

How many black women were there in London? No they don't tell us that.

The BBC doesn't lie (very often) but they do skew the facts.

Sorry, didn't see this Badger. I've posted it on another topic.

 


Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

They will not let facts get in the way of a headline!
It is now nearly 700 years ago but the museum and the BBC want to make that about racism.
The bloody thing killed 50% of all people in London.
You just could not make this crap up!

The BBC website is a hotbed of progressives constantly pushing an ideological message....Aside from not having an official editorial it's little different to the Guardian.

It's a disgrace and has been for years that this is paid for by the general public.

If there was the slightest evidence of that being true do you not think the enquiry and its lawyers would point it out?

Why would the scientists want to do anything other than try to improve the next response? They aren’t politicians worried about reelection. Their entire ethos is the pursuit of knowledge

This isn’t a dog eat dog corporate world. It’s an enquiry chaired by one of our most senior Judges. BS gets left outside because it wouldn’t survive long inside.

The BBC is one of Britain’s greatest achievements. Envied across the world as a bastion against state interference in, and control over, information, it speaks the truth. as it sees it at the time.

That those with strong political ideologies find that uncomfortable is evidence of its continuing success and relevance.

The right believes it supports the left. The left believes it supports the right.

I am sure it does neither.

Of course the BBC is biased, you only have to look at its output to see that. The fact that the only people on here supporting it are the crypto-communists speaks volumes.

 

BrentisBack Flag Beckenham 21 Nov 23 9.57pm

The BBC is not biased. It’s just isn’t right wing and so all you right whingers see it as an affront to your right wing beliefs and way of thinking, like you do most things in this world. You all won’t be happy until you tear this country to the ground and make everyone who lives in it as miserable as you all are. Very selfish and very sad.

You all won’t be happy until you tear this country to the ground and make everyone who lives in it as miserable as you all are. Very selfish and very sad.

I see what you did there. But the truth is, they’re not unhappy on the left. Far from it in fact. They’re just unhappy with the right keep attacking them for being chilled out about things that the right don’t like.

It has definitely gone that way yes. I would say that the initial push back came from the right though.

Well Gary, there is moral duty to challenge your support of drug abuse and the prostitution of East Asian young women.

Jeremy Hunt did at least give us something back yesterday as far as I can see unless you read the BBC website of course.
Everything good is countered with their views of how s*** it is.
Just report the facts numpties!

It’s far from the BBC who are doing the deeper analysis and identifying the whole picture of where people’s finances are. The FT is the place to look. Only the cheer leaders for the Tories are joining in the electioneering. The BBC doesn’t do electioneering.

Except Gary Lineker of course.

They are dissing everything Hunt did Wisbech.
It does reverse electioneering of course by giving as much fuel as possible to the left.
They are biased - trouble is the only people that can't see it are the left and the liberal bleeding hearts!

What a lot of crap.

The 'right wing' want to rescue this country from the total disaster that liberal left morons have made of it.

Your conflation of normal aged sex workers to peados is extremely concerning. You don't seem to be able to separate the two, which to me sets of major red flags.
It's very worrying and says a lot more about you than anyone else that you are trying to deflect you sickness onto I'm afraid George. Does the HOL do background checks on instances such as this?

Not seen Lineker do any campaigning for anyone. Express an opinion or two about some heartless attitudes maybe.
