MID WEEK OPEN THREAD

Well then. The morning after. I have never enjoyed watching the BBC more as it chokes on the news that Donald Trump has won convincingly and is President Elect. Their coverage of the Election has been SO one-sided, SO pro-Clinton and SO anti-Trump that watching their smug faces coming to terms with the fact that they completely mis-read it has been fantastic to behold. Even Andrew Neil, the one BBC political presenter who I respect, has been snide as can be about Trump and so he too had to choke on his words and his insults and his smugness. What a night. Ok – NEW Open Thread so over to you! Thoughts?

    Today I have watched Sky, BBC and Ch4 reporting of the US election and all three channels offered nothing but grudging, sneering , reluctant acceptance of President Trumps victory. I did not expect anything approaching balance but the uniformity of their combined sneering , totally biased , reporting reflects that the whole MSM in the U.K. Is totally unfit for purpose. They do this year after year , election after election and of course Brexit. All three amount to nothing more than leftist propaganda. The UK is crying out for some centrist and right of centre channels. The state funding of Ch4 and BBC requires that these leftist ultras are held to account. The case becomes ever more clear and urgent for a complete change in the UK MSM and the responsibility for forcing this change lies with the government. By not tackling this grotesque apology for news organisations the government is failing the country.

      True, it is now well beyond a joke. The Government’s condoning of the BBC bias is on a par with condoning some tin-pot, fascist regime – no different in fact.

      It puzzles me why there are no conservative TV or radio stations in the UK. The Daily Mail, I believe, is the world’s most widely read news source, so there is obviously a demand for it. Not that I’d really want ‘Daily Mail TV’, but something a little less institutionally leftist than the BBC would be a refreshing change.

    My 10 year old came from school, “People are saying it’s terrible – Trump’s going to start a war!” My 10 year has enough about him to know better. After all, he watches American TV to know what goes on in America.

      I work in a school as a site manager, it was incredible listening to the whining this morning as the teachers came in,one a 25 year old said, “oh no, the whole world is going to change”, another 40 year old said, “he is a cross between Hitler and Jimmy Saville”, yet we are supposed to keep our politics to ourselves in school,it was the same after the referendum, I guess it’s just those with Right wing politics who have to keep quiet.

        WB,
        Exactly our experience too. We had our grand children round last night, 13 and 11.They asked us what we thought of the US election result, we both said it was a very good thing. They said at school their teachers were upset and said Trump was horrible. I was incredulous that their teachers had told them this so I asked how it had come about. They said that one of the children had asked one of the teachers what she thought and that she had exploded in anger about the result, so of course they started asking other teachers. Only a few teachers kept their views to themselves ,most just let rip against Trump.
        This I think shows just how far and how low liberal leftism has percolated the education system in the UK. There is no doubt that wresting control from the liberal left elite and their moronic foot soldiers in education and the media , is going to be a long hard road. Brexit and President Trump’s victory are two big blows to the liberal left ruling elite, but as we saw in the high court , they have great power and a long reach.

          Unfortunately teachers nowadays are probably little different to many commenters on here when the touch paper is lit, and, of course mostly being of the left persuasion utterly convinced that their Guardianista view of the world is the only correct one, and quite likely to start crying when it does not go their way – like the Clinton wimps we kept being shown yesterday.

    I have just switched on Channel 4 news specifically so that I could laugh at that sneering, obnoxious creature named jon snow – it was great for a few minutes just to see the absolute shock horror in his face. Predictably, the report about the election was all about how marvelous hillary clinton was. There was nothing congratulatory about Donald Trump’s achievement just the usual bigoted remarks from snow. He was truly incredulous at how anyone could vote for Donald Trump, he really was spitting feathers…………..hahahahahaha

      I did the same as you. It was worth it for a few minutes just to see Jon Snow’s face. He seemed to have shrivelled overnight, and looked like his dog had just been run over.

      Then over to Komrade Matt Frei, who even had a go at Trump’s photo projected onto the Empire State Building: Trump was “leering” over Manhattan apparently. Well, he owns quite a lot of it Matt, so I doubt he gives a rat’s ass what you think, you East German clown.

      But as you said, after a few minutes, even seeing Jon Snow on the verge of tears is not enough of a payback for watching the relentless, dreary leftism of Channel 4 News, and as ever, the off switch beckoned.

      Exactly my thoughts An English Gentleman
      I was wondering how the smug and noxious Matt Frei might be faring.
      Wrong about Brexit, wrong about Trump – you would think even a modicum of humble contrition would be shown on Channel 4 but no. Trump “leers”, Trumo is a “bully and bigot”. The people who vote for him are a “mob” and he a “demagogue”. The usual anti-Brexiteer platitudinous sneering. A very long period of silence from the Snows, Freis, and all the BBC commemtariat would be very welcome. Even after being proved wrong time and time again about the political situation, they continue to waffle and pontificate about the future course of world events. How can anyone take these people who only rely on their petty prejudices and dubious morality seriously? The tactic of dismissing perfectly decent people who disagree with their facile and warped outpourings as racists, stupid, subhuman, deranged etc, has finally been given the come-uppance it deserves.

    BBC Radio 4 18:30-19:00 ‘Comedy’ slot.

    “Rich Hall’s … (American something-or-other)”.

    Almost total anti-Trump bias from start to finish and hardly a quip about Hellary. It got a tiny bit better from around 20 minutes in, with some RINO guy on, but this in no way balanced the over-all feel of it. Killery, Huma, Weiner, Slick Willy and the gang are comedy gold but … nothing. Even the anti-Trump jokes weren’t that good.

    d) Martin Schulz
    e)Jeremy Corbyn
    think about the astonishing, once-in-a-lifetime election of a Barney Rubble in full defiance of the beautiful people of media, academe and the political elite.
    Hence we got oodles of schmooze about the heroic Hillary, the boorish Trump.
    And absolutely NOTHING newsworthy or new at all about what policies Trump DID have in his back pocket, why he managed to overturn the whole of US political convention.
    NO analysis-NO reflection-NO sense that these people learn ANYTHING from all that they`re seeing fall about their eyes in 2016.
    Just abuse, trite cliche, hack privilege and yet MORE crap about Mexicans, Blacks, Gays, Green stuff and “what will Europe say”?
    Utterly SICK of all agendas ending up back at identity politics, segmented grievance groups who seem to have let Eddie Mair and his team down in some way.
    So we get the thick and uneducated, the whites of course going for Trump.
    But the women?…the Hispanics?…the Gays?…who can Eddie blame for not showing up for Hillary then?
    As opposed to the BBC, CNN and all the universities, Mexican stockbrokers and the wondrous EU-who deserve better that white thick trash who DARED to displease their betters.
    Welcome to Brexit Wisconsin-together we`ll see the end of the BBC and New York Times and Guardian!

      I would describe Rado 4 s coverage today as “desperate”

      It all merged into a sort of fuzzy, clucking white noise, all very critical with the odd token slightly more positive pro Trump bone thrown in just to prove “balance”

      To be honest I did not listen very hard as it was all the same shit, all I could hear were the constantly repeated words- Misoginist, sexist, bigoted, ignorant, inexperienced, selfish, racist, dangerous etc etc. And then of course there was the bemused “how could they do this”

      I understand that the rentagobs included Paul Mason, Simon Schama, Jenni Murray etc though I could not be sure. It all just coalesced into one great big never ending stool.

      It reminded me a little of the bog scene in trainspotting where Renton the druggie loses his opium suppositories down the bog in a violent bout of diarrhea. He is then forced to sift through the contents of this particularly unwholesome toilet pan to get them back.

      Unfortunately there was no such happy an ending for Aunty today. Despite sifting through much verbal diarrhea – Aunty appeared to finish the day still bemused, unenlightened and still covered in excrement!

    ‘The building was decked out in red, white and blue – with partygoers anxiously watching dozens of TV screens awaiting results from across the pond.

    But the celebratory atmosphere quickly turned sour at about 4am when the vote began to swing in Mr Trump’s favour.

    The largely Clinton-supporting crowd who stuck it out until the bitter end looked increasingly despondent as the Republican candidate took swing state after swing state.

    The party petered out as Mr Trump won Florida, then Ohio, then Wisconsin leading to his eventual victory.’

    Ain’t that the truth. And so, I hope, that what we see in this judgement is the ordinary people of Western democracies recognising that there is something deeply troubling about the “establishment” because it is that with which we are at war and have, as a mass, failed to realise it.

    Closer to home, how many people genuinely believe that our PM is being thwarted by the “establishment” and who thinks that perhaps she is a part of it?

    I don’t like Trump but I really, really hope that the establishment’s defeat today can inspire ordinary people to wake up to reality. FN in France, AfD in Germany, UKIP here etc. We all know what needs to happen but we haven’t woken up yet to the realisation that it’s going to take people other than the incumbent political class to do it.

      I fully agree with your opinion soyelcaminodelfuturo ….. Theresa May was trained as a legal professional like most of our politicians, I think she deliberately left open the door for the high court judgement regarding article 50… I wish i didn`t live so far away otherwise I would be joining Farage on his planned march…. I`ve a feeling that the decision not to involve any UKIP or even Micheal Gove in the planning of our exit from Europe will make it easier for her to keep us in by stealth… Why wouldn`t she want the experienced MEPs of UKIP involved? they currently hold the largest number of seats of all UK parties, and they collectively know most about the Eurocracy and also how best to deal with thier obstructive policies and how to circumvent and frustrate any attempts to thwart our wish to leave…. Theresa May was never a Brexiteer, Micheal Gove was… he did no worse to Boris Johnson, than she did to David Cameron by staying out of the referendum debate.. It was all a bit too convenient when she emerged as the front runner after Cameron resigned… I don`t trust her, she was the worst Home Secretary i can remember… I only hope that UKIP can sort out the leadership election quickly and then regroup and make themselves ready for an early election with a cohesive maniifesto and also policical aims for a post brexit era…. Sacking Douglas Carswell is a priority, he is not a true UKIP politician, he is always feremting unrest within UKIP ranks… If UKIP can get themselves sorted out in time, UKIP will not need his position as an MP anymore, not that he has ever represented UKIP in the commons anyway… I wonder if Trump will mention Farage when he meets the Prime Minister??? He isn`t stupid, he knows the value of someone who has campaigned relentlessly and he knows a winner when he sees one…. In view of recent legal challenges maybe he can make her rethink her decision not to include UKIP and people such as Gove as it is highly likely that we are no longer going to be `back of the queue` anymore…

        Also Jacob Rees-Mogg, John Redwood and Peter Bone seem to be well read on possible Brexit procedures, but unused by the Cabinet.

    There’s so much bias to comment on but TWAT-O was classic bBBC. Martha Kearney in New York, surrounded by weepie snowflakes and almost unable to find a Trump voter to talk to. All the ‘analysis’ was about what went wrong. Eventually she set up a round table discussion group with, first guest, Paul Mason.
    Click. I couldn’t take any more.

    There an awful lot of jokes about mega rich talentless stars who ‘promised’ they would leave the country if Trump won.
    Well now he has and the calls for them to leave have begun. One joke is that so many of them have announced plans to move to Canada has led to Canada building a wall to keep them out!

    Despite some of the jokes at the Luvvies expense being very funny I sincerely doubt we will be hearing any of them from the po faced unfunny comedians the BBC likes to patronise.

      That’s strange, I thought they would want to go to Mexico, not a country more hideously white than America under Trump. The Canadians should insist that they declare allegiance to, and send them to the Queen Elizabeth Islands, and tell them to cuddle the lovely Polar Bears.

    Watching Sky and BBC late show comments etc with whoever the snowflakes were it is looking like another casualty of the Trump victory is our useless media . Forget the bias as it is just useless. I doubt if it can recover for some time and certainly any young ambitious journalist would be well advised to steer clear.
    The BBC is particular is dying on it’s feet. Sky is not much better and C4 has had it. The Guardian and Independent are finished.
    When the lot have gone our country will be that much better.

        Morgan knows Trump, he won the Celebrity Apprentice show a few years back. Maybe the fact that he knows the guy means that he also knows the left’s caricatures are not true? At any rate, I must be big enough to acknowledge a small sliver of journalistic insight on his part.

Also Trump won the Anti-Brainwashing “Wisdom Factor” with cut off at 40 years of age, almost identical to the Brexit vote.

    Floor to ceiling, wall to wall, anti Trump, anti-white, anti-British, anti-male.
    Proudly, and openly, committing all the ‘isms that they created to obliterate any opposition.

    But no comments are allowed anymore, their lefty brains have been so savaged in the previous 24 hours, when comments were allowed, that the drawbridge has been raised.

    Maybe some of them are thinking that this most recent “catastrophe” demonstrates that it is the left who are in the wrong.

      Ah the Guardian, the BBC’s sister organ

      Guardian: ‘ …we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but far fewer are paying for it. And advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. So you can see why we need to ask for your help….’

      As for the ‘more people’ reading the Guardian – one must assume they refer to on-line clicks – which doesn’t exactly endorse their left-liberal editorial line since Yours Truely added to that click count (as many who post hereabouts do) myself in this case in order to find the Guardian’s plea for help. When it comes to paying for the left-tainted rag – well, that’s another matter altogether. Which, of course, brings us to the future of the BBC….

      And the Soros Common Purpose Agenda is now clear.
      After Brexit-their “ground game” as they call it is clear.
      1. Segment-Trump and Obama call to all Americans.
      But S.O.R.O.S/B.B.C have decreed otherewise.
      a) Split men from women,white from black,blacks from hispanics, gays from straights, young from old…then cut and paste your discrete categories and cut off boundaries until you get maximum divisions to put up on the news, to give to Martha to read at 1pm.
      I repeat-headline big figures only, get them as you have to.
      2. Traduce-show your class,youth, educated, stiff`kits, titles, degrees, world government credentials and authority as paid for by the E.U,BBC or Operation Rescue Hearts and Minds.
      And we shall contrast THAT with the thick, old stale blue collar blokes and grunts-not educated yet on how to vote, a brake on progressive niceness for Islam.
      With a view to eugenics, sterilisation, sanitary methods and educational qualifications before you`re able to vote. Wrong results too often now, we`ll need to look at this one now.
      The Greeks did NOT allow helots, slaves and serfs to vote-and as long as women are educated to approved standards we`ll improve on Pure Greek Democracy by letting the likes of Sarah, Hillary and Dianne have a vote anyway.
      Very dangerous this sneering at the “uneducated” the “old men” who voted for Brexit or Trump-Goebbels knew how to do it, we need to be ready to get physical if they persist in this last vicious prejudice aimed at us by the BBC and Soros and the Davos Devils.

    Well, despite the Trump setback I notice that normal service will be resumed on the BBC. This morning they brought Jim O’Neill back in to read from the script of the BBC’s globalisation manifesto.

    He’s an expert dontcha know, he coined the term BRIC (which meant something for a few weeks) and worked for a bank, so my 30+ years working for import/export companies means nothing in comparison.

    Anyway, his 10 mins on this morning’s TODAY programmes can leave us in no doubt about where the BBC see us in the future.
