The BBC | Tim Davie resigns as Director General over Trump documentary edit (p 187)

[Gazza]

nearly 4 years on - BBC is still there - who watches DVD's any more?

DVD's, as most things, disappear when their usefulness expires, the BBC obviously didn't get the memo.

The government in trouble and the BBC trends. Then all the anti BBC trolls come out, empowered by misinformation from Russian bots who want to destroy our culture. Seems to me anyway.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The BBC has neither become a Tory tool, a LibDem tool or a Labour tool. It's just a right tool with narcissistic overtones.

 

[domalino]

Loads on the right wing, especially in the Media think the BBC is too left, woke and liberal

They have the balance right

This is a fallacy.

There's loads of research out there that over the last 10 years the right wing has moved more right, while the left has broadly stayed still and the resulting effect is the right convincing themselves the bigger distance between the two is because rest of the world has moved left.

You’re talking about the Overton window but he’s talking about the bbc. You point neither agrees nor disagrees with his.

My point directly addresses his. The right think the centre is left because they've lurched right.

That's why they think the BBC has moved left when it has not.

The BBC has always been lefty.

That left wingers now believe it’s right wing suggests it’s probably in the centre now.

That's just more both sides bullshit.

Wrong in so much as he isn't talking about the Overton window, which is described thus; "... an approach to identifying the ideas that define the spectrum of acceptability of governmental policies".

But recent research actually applies quite specifically to cognitive bias in how people react to media content. There is a section whose expectation and experience of what is fair coverage just continually veers right, on an ongoing basis. It is similair to the Overton window. And the phenomena involved may be one of the reasons for the Overton window, if you believe that theory has much validity. But the work is based on empirical research and tests specified with quite a different focus, and really we oughtn't conflate the two any more than Darwin's Theory of Evolution and Mendel's Rules Of Inheritance.

No it’s still left of centre.

For a bright lad do you do not half post some shite.

No, you’re just saying that from a biased position.

That means a lot from you, thanks Russ. X

From my viewpoint, BBC News is right of centre and their drama/comedy output is left of centre.

 

[SWP's back]

Comedy and drama is certainly left of centre but I genuinely can’t see what other people have seen regards the news being right of centre.

For example the past 48 hours has been a gleeful wankathon and Boris resigning. It’s been like watching piranhas attacking a thrashing goat in the Amazon.

Mason, Kuenssberg, Robinson. The past three Political correspondents are all Tories.

There’s always a wankathon when the circus reaches the end of its tour, be it Johnson, Brown or Thatcher.

Fiona Bruce, Andrew Neill, Jeremy Paxman, all conservative hosts of the BBC's biggest political TV Shows over the last 10 years.

Paxman being famous of handling the Tories with kid gloves of course.

Bloody bunch of pinkos.

As an aside I could punch ITV's Peston's face till I saw bone.
