That’s not the role of the bbc though is it. They should be afraid of missing the scoop of a wife beating rapist.

Oscar Pistorius, OJ Simpson....??

And another slight difference to the above stories, would be that she is not dead, or claiming to be a rapee.

She is literally stood in the stands with the journalists. Wearing a Getafe top with Greenwood on the back. This is quite significant when you consider how the Spanish media have covered the story.

For the exact reason you have discovered Andrew's name I'm not willing to divulge exactly what or who my wife is, if it's all the same with you I will remain somewhat annominus on here?

anonymous
with spelling like that are you sure you are not employed by the BBC? :-)

It’s clear PR.

I’m surprised hello magazine didn’t publish the baby pics but I’m sure it will not miss out on the wedding of the year…..

For me it's not a question of which organisations are unbiased.
Apart from the BBC, the others are privately owned by individuals like Murdoch with their own agenda and have to fund themselves.
The difference is that the BBC is publically funded by licence fee payers and has an obligation to be unbiased.
They clearly are not and the fact remains that you can be prosecuted for not having a licence if you watch live TV even if you don't watch the BBC.
Their track record of supplying patronising and insincere responses to valid complaints displays an arrogance within the organisation, safe in the knowledge that they can do what they like without consequence with the knowledge that their wages will be paid by the licence fee payer.
If they were forced to stand on their own two feet like every other media outlet it would be a complely different scenario.

By stating that you are disregarding facts when I said:-
"The BBC actually receive the most bias complaints from Rags and Liverpool fans who are convinced they are biased against them and quite often that they are pro City!"
Does the fact that a proportion of every clubs fanbase believe they are biased against them actually prove to a certain level they are unbiased? Or is it simply that every Rag and Dipper is clearly wrong and only Blues know the real truth because they are in some way more intelligent?
So you believe they are anti-City and probably pro-United/Liverpool. But where do you believe they are in other areas, so in politics where does their bias lie Conservative or Labour Democrat or Republican? I guarantee that which ever way you go their will be others on here that vehemently contest you are wrong and that their bias is the other way.

The only time I've seen him with the ball in his hands is when he picks it out the net.
Has he actually saved a shot yet since he arrived?

i worry for his back as i noticed he doesnt bend his knees when picking the ball up from back of the net which looks like he does quiet often

I get that this has irked yourself and others and I don't want to detract from your opinion but the BBC (and all other media organisations) spend eye watering figures covering news stories everyday, the £x.xx that this would have cost is equivalent to buying a brew from Greggs on your way home from a hospitality event that cost you 5K. For example, when covering news in war torn countries they have to pay fixers to get them from A to B safely not to mention the specialist security contracts in place and the amount of people that have to travel with them.
But as your all fellow blues and I love you all dearly I will attempt to find out how many people complained about the article, where the complaints went, who responded, what was said internally.....

You have a life to live, don't waste it on this nonsense.

The probable irony in this debate is that the people moaning about the BBC will likely have stopped paying their licence fees, meaning their arguments are moot.

I think a "BBC thread" in the off topic forum might not go amiss, then we can all fully focus on slagging off Utd.

Go on any other fans forum and you will find someone(s) claiming they have been blocked for the same reason but a different club!
