Can’t quote you as you’ve not posted the image properly.

Linehan shows that he’ll pile on women after being asked to stop.

What a guy.

I have.

But blame me, that's OK/expected.

He'll pile on whose definition of "women"? Asking for a friend.

What's your definition of a 'guy"?
Asking for a friend.

Did I blame you? I simply said I couldn’t reply…

If you read the threads at the time, you’ll see how he piled on.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Once they've retracted their apology, you mean ?

They can apologise and tell him to fuck off with his claim for damages. There’s nothing remotely inconsistent about that, given the requirements for such a claim to succeed.

So no, that’s not what I mean.

 

[manimanc]

Just seen an article with "BBC" and "Dishonest " in the same sentence.
Am shocked I tell thee.

I don’t mind the Times. Depending on the topic, the FT is good.

The worst one for me has been the decline of the Telegraph. Only do the crossword in it nowadays!

From newspaper of the year to Tory trash in a few short years.

 

[KS55]

The Times?

Sweet baby jesus

Sure you’re not mixing up reportage with opinion pieces?
If you say you’re not, give me a recent example of poor reportage.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Bluemoon’s own Graham Linehan.

Not managed a positive post since being poisoned in the trans culture war.

Go on, go on, go on

I've had my fun and that's all that matters.

 

[The perfect fumble]

And there we go :) Wish you’d have just said that at the start and just been open about it!

Ah, it's nothing. Just went mad for a second, there.

 

[meltonblue]

Think they’ve gone even further than that tbh. Such a shame.

 

[The blue phantom]

So man who gets Knighted for services to the Tory Party and put in charge of the BBC by Bojo is still there? Yep sounds like no bias at the top.

 

[abu13]

I see the Government are now looking to include streaming as a requirement for a TV licience.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Also worth pointing out Michael Presccott does not speak Arabic. So he's in no position to assess what was being said himself, and is relying on (at best) second hand reports that he's passed off as his own concerns.

Well thats the thing isnt it mate - there is considerable evidence that the bbc has been and is pro israel, and has enabled the genocide in a very big way.

But now we get morons parroting right wing shite that the bbc is pro Palestine, based on a report in the telegraph on bbc Arabic!? No one's going to be well up on that content of bbc arabic and that report right now so we cant properly dispute it (yet). It will take weeks for decent journalists to investigate, by which point the israel lobby will be shouting some other shite and amplifying it on gbeebies, talk tv etc etc that the gullible morons will then be parroting and will have completely have forgotten and moved on from this one

There was a huge pro palestinian march to the BBC earlier in the year because of their pro Israeli stance. Police stopped it going right to the headquarters. Blocked it all off so they wouldn't reach it. Thousands of Jews were in the protest and over a dozen Holocaust survivor's

Needs fucking off. More streams are going live, boxing etc and thats how they will try and do it?

This is pure whataboutery, I don't care that much about what's happening in the Middle East, I don't give a shit about Trump, but I do care about women's rights and child safeguarding and I used to care about the BBC, I'd like to care about it again, and if this furore is the beginning of a root and branch I'm all for it.

But there'll be no root and branch if we talk about everything other than the real reason why the shit has hit the fan.

So you don't care about what's happening in the middle east, but you come on parroting bullshit that the BBC is "Pro Palestinian", despite knowing fuck all about it and blindly believing and parroting the telegraphs bullshit:

I repeat....

Pro Palestinian, pro gender ideology, anti Trump.

Doesn't look like right wing capture to me and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Here is the definition of 'whataboutery' by the way:

"The technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue."

Me pointing out that the bbc's middle east editor is a raging mossad obsessed zionist (very obviously a quite astoundingly pro israel conflict of interest), or that a detailed (and reliable, unlike the shite in the telegraph) report on the bbc bias towards israel, is not a separate issue and is quite obviously relevant.

This is extremely basic stuff even a small child would understand.

As far as I'm aware the BBC has not denied the basic premise of the accusations, hence their admission of "mistakes and the resignations, if I'm wrong I'm happy to be enlightened. Again as far as I'm aware the pro Palestinian accusation relates specifically to the BBC's Arabic output and at least when I visited them many moons ago with my Lebanese distributor they had editorial control of their output, distinct from the BBC's domestic output.

As for caring I care about Gaza as much as I care about Sudan, both places I've been to by the way, in so far that my care makes no practical difference whatsoever, my care about the BBC is different as it stems from the fact that we both have something in common, we're both British.

Yet your care doesn't extend to the 'editorial control' of the domestic output?

So much for your concerns of institutional capture.

I do care about the bias across the piste because it speaks to an entrenched mindset, a group think that ring fences certain issues where only one opinion is allowed, only one opinion is the "truth" and that is the only opinion broadcast. And I care because the BBC's impartiality is supposed to be its bedrock.

But I don't care that much because I kinda gave up on the BBC years ago.

I only really get vexed about the BBC's institutional capture by the likes of the widely discredited Stonewall and Mermaids and assorted gender ideologues that sees them pumping out damaging propaganda that hurts vulnerable children and undermines women's rights and gay rights, particularly lesbian's rights.

All I see in this thread is battle lines drawn, that the BBC is being attacked and it must be defended at all costs and all those who take a nuanced view are trashed. Our public broadcasting must be defended, I agree wholeheartedly with that, but not uncritically, nor should folk rally to the BBC's defence simply because they despise some of its detractors, the all too obvious bad faith actors with nefarious motives.

The BBC is not above reproach simply because the Telegraph and GB News hate it, and not all those folk who are unhappy with the BBC are Telegraph reading GB news watchers, those folk rallying to the defence of the BBC do their cause no good whatsoever by assuming that they are.
