And? Can you tell us the reason you've posted a link to an anti-working class transphobic pricks twitter feed.

 

[mikey mikey]

Well, it was an attempt to post this.

I just happened to see it on WOS.

If you would like to discuss WOS, I suggest you do it on the appropriate thread instead of derailing the thread.

John Pienaar continues his quest to make Kuennsberg look like Trotsky's press secretary - just heard him fawning over May's Thatcher-like command and calling Labour a shower of cumstains (I think was his phrase). He closed by describing this as a nation-defining election. It's the least so of any election I can remember.

May, it is clear, is a weak public performer. That is why she has refused to debate Corbyn, and why BBC interviewers are giving her softball questions. She is even pampered with an interview on the BBC with her banker husband, Philip, posing as though they are royalty.

In contrast to May, the Labour leader makes a good impression when he is able to speak about policies rather than being battered by not just hostile, but openly disparaging, questions from BBC interviewers like Laura Kuenssberg.

Media can’t hide that they’re in bed with May

I came here to ask if there's anyone worse at the BBC than John Pienaar. He was at it again tonight on the 6pm news

No. He's a fucking disgrace, he's like a walking Daily Mail headline. If he was that blatantly left-wing biased he'd (rightly) be hounded out.

Ho ho ho.
This electio has it's brighter moments in between stories of babies being fed watered-down milk, foodbanks, suicides, ATOS et al. He's some grinning prick asking celebs who they wanna vote for in the street...and he's got cardbpard cut-outs! HILARIOUS!

BBC reporter discovers that making your own sandwiches is cheaper than buying them

Im on channel 503 BBC News channel Sky A BBC presenter I've been recording the speech and BBC response to JC Manifesto launch. Ben Brown just announced the News following the manifesto speech and apart from the dismissive reporting and the usual BBC bias spin in response. Corby disliked unpopular blar blar rhetoric Ben Brown turned for more derisory comments to Norman Smith. Asking for his take on the response from the public. A women stepped forward to say she thought it was great and was Ben Ben cupped his hand over her breast and pushed her away whilst his hand was still firmly attached!! Seriously!!! And then continued speaking to Norman Smith! Disgusting! A sacking for sure I truely hope theirs lawyers watching and she comes forward!!

from CIF, anyone see this on TV?

It's when they say 'President Obama' that gets me. Not 'American President, Barack Obama'

They always preface other countries' leaders names with which country they represent, so there's an air of preference to the US. "President Obama today announced..." president of who? UK? No? Then don't just say 'President' like it's assumed he rules over us.

Pet hate.

I noticed that the news are now back to saying "US President, Donald Trump...etc" instead of the irksome "President Obama/President Bush...etc"

'Has British democracy let its people down?' asks Mark Easton as he searches for some crap spin with which to pidgin-hole the election results.

Has British democracy let its people down? - BBC News

Comedy.

The debate we must have now is how to convince the populace that the United Kingdom does have a democracy that allows that voice to be listened to, understood and acted upon.

Good luck with that. Here is a clue - you arent the man for the job, and neither are many of the other opinion peddlers who have demonstrated their narrow field of view.

Also needs to work on parsing whatever the hell it is he's trying to say, about whom and to whom. I mean, who is the ‘we’, the ‘populace’, the ‘United Kingdom’, and the ‘democracy’; who owns the ‘voice’; and who ‘understands and acts’?

This is the BBC were talking about, do you really expect them to cover these things and work with this degree of nuance?

A particular corker which has been prominent for the last couple of days:

Acid attacks: What has led to the rise and how can they be stopped?

In which they don't mention the world's most obvious candidate (the media keeps putting it on their front pages whenever it happens) but do include this fantastic list of reasons why aspiring ultraviolent twats should consider acid as a weapon of choice:

Gang members know there are advantages in using acid to hurt someone rather than a knife because "the charges are more serious if you are caught with a knife and the tariff for prison sentences are much higher".

Dr Harding added that "acid is likely to attract a 'GBH with intent' charge while using a knife is more likely to lead to the attacker being charged with attempted murder"

"There's no specific offence of throwing acid. It's a harder offence to prove because there is rarely any DNA evidence and its much easier to dispose of a plastic bottle than it is a knife."

Cultural appropriation gone mad. Maybe they don't mention the most obvious candidates because it's not about them this time, they've done that.

The article's a secondary story about why acid attacks are on the rise, it's specifically not about the victims' individual stories. In fact I'd argue this is one of the few times it actually should be about the BBC as a moment for self-reflection on the ethical implications of their own editorial policies, and illustrated why with a direct quote from the same article showing that no only are they clearly not having that discussion, they're actively explaining to nutters how attacking with acid might be in their best interests.

You want them to talk more about the most obvious candidates and have a word with themselves.
