A B-BBC reader writes;
“On the BBC World Home page today. One of the ‘Most Popular’ news item in the list was apparently this one: “Hillsborough Justice hailed but not on front of Sun”. You go into look and yes that’s correct and not very sensible of The Sun. The Sun has a piece instead about an EU Cover Up/David Cameron.
BBC bias is getting ridiculous and as I am forced to pay for the privilege of the BBC, which I never watch, I am sick to death of having their (the Governments) bias shoved down my throat at every opportunity. This story is most popular because the BBC highlighted it in the list with an incitative tagline. Strange how their mention of the recent Dutch Referendum was barely mentioned but popular on all other news sites around the world.”
The Beeb cannot resist having a pop at the Sun and getting a bit of EU exposure at the same time .
I no longer watch any paper reviews on any channels because I refuse to be lectured by the likes of Michelle Dewberry and Bonnie Greer to name but two .What gives them the right to try to influence me. I don’t give a damn about their opinions.
Something else you won’t see on the BEEB……
According toThe Spectator there was a big EU debate at the London Palladium yesterday and the Leave side won the debate.I didnt even know it was taking place .I assume arranged by the Spectator.How do we ordinary voters get in to these debates let alone publicise the results.
They seem to be quite careful to get a degree of separation in, but they are getting it in.
Given what the BBC has in its time not had time or space for, especially as regards its own activities and those of staff, make sailing in such waters ‘brave’.
Well The BBC have to fill their top web pages with material that keep any reference to Labour MP Naz Shah’s anti-Semitic utterances buried on the Politics section
