We are biased, admit the stars of BBC News

Oooh, that's going to smart.

[BallyBill]

If they consider themselves "stars" at the BBC they really are in trouble.

We all know about the BBC. What about NPR? Even Garrison Keillor's A Prarie Home Companion, which used to be just good, all-American fun has turned political. Last week he had a Mark Foley skit.

Enough already, these folks need to get off the taxpayer's dime if they want to propagandize.

[Stoat]

A rare utterance of honesty from the drive-by media, which will undoubtedly be flatly denied by all concerned and business as usual will continue unabated, crushing all in it's path who are even vaguely to the right of Karl Marx.

I'm amazed that that liberal rat-hole is capable of some minor introspection. It only took them, what, thirty years to figure out they're all biased?

[ConservativeMind]

So, what do they do to counter this "newfound" concern?

[ConservativeMind]

Thanks for posting this, Veronica!

'would rather steal from a poor box than stand to attention during God Save The King'.

Since the BBC takes public funding don't they, then, actually use the coercive powers of the state to steal from the poor and from those who don't want to watch their slop?

[Steely Tom]

'Unfortunately, much of it is so deeply embedded in the BBC's culture, that it is very hard to change it.'

Good thing he's not talking about the macho culture of any local fire station of yesteryear.

During the early part of the Iraq war, British warships refused to show BBC telecasts. Now we know why. And we thought our fifth columnists were bad. This is a prime example of a deep seated liberal need to commit national suicide.

Oh well. It's up to the British people to combat this stuff. If they don't they're doomed. Simple as that. It's in their hands now.

NPR is Air America on life support...the taxpayer teat.

Could Garrison make it in the real world?

"Bill's BullSh*t Communists admitting their Bias'ed. An example of the left's open brazeness!!!!

[Rosemont]

"We are biased, admit the stars of BBC News"

No Shiite.

BBC executives admitted the corporation is dominated by homosexuals and people from ethnic minorities

That the BBC is dominated by fags should come as no surprise. Also, Britain has its own Affirmative Action (different name, same game) that promotes "ethnic minorities" regardless of talent. In this, it is really no different than the New York Times.

[Rocky]

Someone needs to start a magazine called Duh! to publish stories like this. BBC is biased? Who knew?

[hnj_00]

the bbc admits it...when will cnn/abc/nbc/cbs/npr/pbs/the ny slimes and all other msm admit the bias as well????

[Seaplaner]

Political pundit Andrew Marr said: 'The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It's a publicly funded, urban organization with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people. It has a liberal bias not so much a party-political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias.'

This is so very important. Why, you ask?

A lot of folks seem to think that liberal (and farther left) journalists and broadcasters are somehow not aware of their "bias". They think that these newspersons are neutral in their own minds, meetings, and work culture, and left-wing only to the news consumers.

I've never for a second believed this.

My cynical beliefs - - that news people know full well that they are left wing activists, and that they lie and act offended when so charged - - are impecably illustrated by Mr. Marr above.

It only took them, what, thirty years to figure out they're all biased?

But here's the kicker: They don't see anything wrong with it.

To the liberal media, bias is a way of life. All good people have the same biases as they.

'Unfortunately, much of it is so deeply embedded in the BBC's culture, that it is very hard to change it.'

Uh, no it's not.
