Typical Media Bias towards the Left--US Magazine Blast Palin--Adores Obama!!

[gLing]

Have you got any articles by the BBC which show bias?

I am not sure I understand this. Every article made has a biased to it but it is the trend that establishes biased of the organization that publishes it.

That article is just talking about individuals working at the BBC and of course there are going to be people there with opinions. Have you got any articles by the BBC which show bias?

The BBC IS PEOPLE--its people that write the articles--of course they are going to be biased. There's a big difference between bias and credible. I consider the BBC a very credible news source--that is I expect them to verify their sources and do all the other things that make a source credible. But that doesn't eliminate bias.

 

[Fox Mulder]

thank you so much. i completely agree with you.

Always a good idea to agree with Mulder!

Look at the difference in these two cover stories by the same magazine:

this kind of crap sickens me. wrong wrong wrong...:thumbdown:cool

Nice work, Mulder. Don't get to used to affirmations, though.....

 

[groundpounder]

Hence the intense hatred of FOX news. lol

that is one helluva comeback, lingy dingy!!!! :24: :clap :thumbup

I have to say, that is some of the most blatant bias I have seen from the media. I like the BBC though. It is not as bias as US news from my experience so far.

The only was we can have unbiased news is if we have robots write and produce the news, but then again, people will accuse there manufacturers and programmers as being bias.

About FoxNews. No offense to any conservatives, but the majority of the people reporting at Fox are idiots. I have watched quite a bit of Fox, and it is the reporters, not the right wing bias, that disgusts me more.

With thousands of different reporters, there are bound to be some heavy biases. That's why as gling said you need to consult different sources and ESPECIALLY when its on technical issues like the law.

I am not sure I understand this. Every article made has a biased to it but it is the trend that establishes biased of the organization that publishes it.

So show me a biased BBC article then.

 

[Minor Axis]

This from Mr. Fox News! Lol...

So show me a biased BBC article then.

You didn't read what I said. lol

I could show you thousands if I had the time--here's just one I cane up with in a quick Google:

BBC Cancels TV Movie On Iraq War Hero As 'Too Positive,' Would 'Alienate' War Opponents | NewsBusters.org

By Lynn Davidson (Bio | Archive)
April 11, 2007 - 21:08 ET

The UK’s Telegraph reported that the BBC cancelled a 90-minute drama about the youngest surviving winner of the UK’s highest award for valor because “it feared it would alienate members of the audience opposed to the war in Iraq.” The BBC blocked the project that would have honored the incredible bravery and resilience of Private Johnson Beharry, a man who didn’t hesitate to risk his own life two separate times for his fellow soldiers. His Victoria Cross citation reads like a blockbuster Hollywood action script, but instead, it’s the real deal. Sounds uplifting and encouraging, and it could even be a real morale booster, right? Well, for the Beeb, that’s the problem (emphasis mine throughout):

For the BBC, however, his story is "too positive" about the conflict.
The corporation has cancelled the commission for a 90-minute drama about Britain's youngest surviving Victoria Cross hero because it feared it would alienate members of the audience opposed to the war in Iraq.

Here is another one:

Denis Boyles on BBC Bias on Iraq on National Review Online

A great deal of the current criticism of the British Broadcasting Corporation is based on the BBC's appalling, biased coverage of the war in Iraq. As the war began and the Coalition invasion proceeded across the desert toward Baghdad, I sat watching French TV and listening to the BBC's World Service. That's as close to a state of suspended disbelief as a man can get. As the capital finally fell to the Americans, I made a few notes. Here they are.

Which by the way is why you people across the pond have such slanted and distorted views about the Iraq war as well as as myriad of other subjects--you get very one-sided, slanted news and of course most of you believe it as the truth.

I think you mis understood what I said, show me an actual BBC article which is biased, not something wrote about them by the competition.

There is no need. The BBC has admitted to being biased.

Well there is seeing how easily available there articles are. An article directly from the BBC which is biased will completely prove your point so why cant you show me one?

What would be the point? If them ADMITTING to being biased isn't proof enough for you then me posting a million of their articles would certainly not be proof enough for you either because you will believe what you want to believe despite the facts.

 

[Peter Parka]

Wont you show me because it's harder to find on google? :24:

 

[Minor Axis]

Biased- sounds alot like he said, she said and then it's who wrote it and who is reading it.
