What! Shocked that Bolshevik Broadcasting Corp. isn't fair and balanced. Ah, but the BBC sure loves the religion of "peace".

My faith in the media is so rocked by this...
Next thing you know CNN will be airing video of terrorists sniping our Marines.
Oh wait....

Actually, I have no problem with the idea that the BBC is biased. We're all biased. What pisses me off to distraction is the notion of "objectivity," as if that is a possibility with any human interaction. The BBC should proclaim their biases and let them fall where they may. Lying about it by telling everyone that they're objective is disgusting, though.

The BBC should proclaim their biases and let them fall where they may. And,of course,Cronkite came right out in about 1965 and said..."Oh,by the way America...I'm a far left ideologue".

Thank God they will tell me the truth about my cooking recipes. I was getting worried.

Did they admit to it or brag about it?

I've been debating the editor of our local paper on this. It's perfect to send to him. Thanks for posting it!

Every TV licence holder in the UK should be outraged. Their licence fees are paying for this rubbish.

Well, since the BBC is publicly funded, the bias is supported involuntarily by a number of the tax serfs. We have much the same problem with the PBS, and the NEA.

You avoid these threads because they require you to think.

So the BBC is for Soros and the antiChrist, and this made news? /sarcasm

The executives were asked what they would do if Cohen decided to throw ‘Kosher food’, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bible, and the Quran in the garbage bin.
The executives said they would allow everything to be thrown in the garbage bin, save the Quran, for fear of offending the British Muslim community. Guess which side BBC took in Yugoslavia?
