BBC bias towards pro-immigration: 'left-wing Corporation downplaying violence by Islamists'
DailyMail online (UK homepage) ^ | May 28, 2013 | ALASDAIR GLENNIE

The BBC gives too much weight to pro-immigration voices and ‘almost totally ignores’ the negative social impact of multiculturalism, a new study has claimed.

The corporation suffers from left wing ‘groupthink’ that prevents its journalists from challenging institutional bias and results in pro-immigration ‘propaganda’, according to the research published yesterday.

It was also accused of ‘downplaying’ violence by Islamists while being happy to criticise Christianity and report on the activities of other violent extremists.

The report, by independent think-tank The New Culture Forum, looked at coverage by BBC news and current affairs programmes since 1997.

The Daily Mail has great articles about the US and other places, more info than in most MSM press.

If the Daily Mail actually posts nonsense, I’d like some evidence such as other articles that prove it wrong; rather than just someones’ “I say it’s so, so it’s so”.

Somehow that assertion carries no weight.

The DM DOES carry great articles, almost usually on history, I post them here myself.

They are however notorious for ‘everyday’ stories on politically correct incidents or issues they focus heavily on like immigration or the NHS, their stories usually tend to end up complete nonsense picked up from rumour or more often that not an unnecessary exaggeration of the truth in order to enblazon the story with an OTT catchy headline. The DM is also famous for losing libel cases left, right and centre.

The DM is a readable and at times fine paper, you just have to be wary at times, esp where certain issues are concerned.

I am sure other British freepers will say the same.
