why the bbc is going down the pan

Amazing, especially liked their soft-soap on neoliberalism after several clueless definitions of various left strands. Thick Tim-Nice-But-Dims and their bullshitter's guide to reality level of understanding is as much a problem as any conscious bias.

Fucking hell, school kids could but together something better than than.
 
The slant in this take on a trade deal "in numbers" in this story about Ceta falling due to a democratic vote is hilariously transparent:Belgium Walloons block key EU Ceta trade deal with Canada - BBC News
The Ceta trade deal in numbers
98%

The number of tariffs between the EU and Canada that would be eliminated

€500 million

The estimated amount that EU exporters would save in duties annually

  • 3.6m The population of Wallonia

  • 36.3m The population of Canada

  • 508m The population of the EU

Might as well have added number of cute kittens saved.
 
No, BBC news, you don't have to mention the fucking tennis every five fucking minutes this morning. No, we don't need to see what the reaction is on social media. Really, we don't. Fuck off.
 
Six oclock news was appalling. First story the Art50 appeal, reporter actually said "it very quickly slipped into legalese" code for "i didn't understand what was going on" and the next on the Italian referendum was more like a magazine piece for Grazi or some such
 
I came across that More United thing last week: an organisation dedicated to increasing diversity in politics who's founders overwhelmingly went to oxbridge, and who have chosen as an inspiration Jo Cox - a grammar school & Cambridge educated career politician. Baffling really.

I recently investigated this in connection with another person.

Apparently to be "a historian" you only need to be regarded as being a historian by some people. No qualifications or experience necessary.

So you can just rip off other people's research for tv programmes you present and stocking filler books you write.
 
Turned on for the eight o'clock morning headlines, so far, 13 minutes on the main 'news' that the trains in part of London are on strike. Parochial much?

(and of course, this is nothing to do with building up the subject as a 'problem' so the government can pop up with anti-strike legislation to deal with it. Not so much strings as ropes visible on this puppet organisation).
 
The govt minister, don't know his name had to butt in to Humphreys rant about forcing workers back to actually say that the problems with southern rail were far more than strike action. I imagine most his inbox is complaints about delays, caused by bosses.

Just reading this.

"channel money to progressive people in Parliament".

So, the Oxford and public school educated, son-in-law of the Duke of Westminster, descendant of Lloyd George, gets to decide the definition of "progressive? And channel money to it.

Count me out.
 
I loathe Chris Evans anyway, but why did we happen to turn on the Breakfast Show (R2) this morning, given that we very rarely do it??? :oops: :confused:

we only found that he was indulging in his 'Military Wives' propaganda again. Get fucking fucked you fucking Tory cunt Evans :mad: :mad:

The arse very largely responsible for blatantly pushing that MW shite up into the charts originally.

And today they were going to be his Christmas 'guests' and he was drivelling on about them, again pressurising his listeners to join in with his worship of them.

I was very shortly not a listener, but the off switch was accompanied by a rant like above.

With more swearing.

At 6:25 am :p
 
On tonight's PM news. Recycling waste in Ceridigion. Tomorrow, this year's carrot crop in Lincolnshire beats all records. Teresa May to award the Great Productivity Medal.

actually the whole media.
Last weekend May in her sky interview said "within the single market" and the whole media carried on as if she had said the opposite, to the point that the stock market fell on opening on the Monday so she had to say it again
This weekend just about every media outlet is telling you what Mrs May will say on Tuesday.


We are moving towards heres what we'd like the news to be.
