The immigration issue, for example, is not on most people's doorsteps at all. Yet everyone seems to have an opinion, educated or otherwise.


Its not on my doorstep but its carrying around a kid begging on the tube while its other annoying offspring plays the frigging accordion while i'm trying to have a trouble-free journey into work.....

Quote Saxoneagle:
For example, you are a gay, black/asian, female journalist and a gay, black/asian, female gets attacked by a straight, white, male and you write what, in your opinion, is an unbiased report for a TV news article. Before this goes on air it is reviewed by another person who deems the first report to slant towards the left/right/whatever. The fact is that the report WILL be biased because everyone has an opinion, whether its biased towards the original journalist or the person at the ITC who is getting ready for the endless complaints......

Any person who has an input into what we are told is hardly irrelevant.

I see what you're saying. But by reporting all the facts only, how can the reporter be accused of being biased?

I should be reported on TV: Female gets attacked by a male. The only need to mention colour or sexual preference if the attack was thought to be racially or sexually motivated. All other facts are irrelevent (including what the colour/sex etc the reporter is!) and there is no bias then. Opinion is not allowed in stories, just the facts while seperate Comment pieces are done for their own reason.

Or just "person attacked by person"?

Sorry Slug, i was under the impression that the transport system was ORIGINALLY built to allow the internal migration of people living within the city and its periphery.

And buses are never full of annoying foreign f***ers knocking everyone over carrying their world in a rucksack either are they?
