The BBC’s Sarah Brett labelled Breitbart a Far-Right organisation saying its main followers were white supremacists. Whilst this may be the orthodox BBC liberal’s view, not only is it not true but even the BBC probably thinks Brett went too far in openly expressing such views as its usual description now is that Breitbart is ‘ultra-conservative’. Oddly dubious Muslim groups like the MCB, Cage, Mend or MPACUK are never described in such terms and in fact are treated with a grovelling reverence, their every word repeated with a degree of respect never given to respectable parties like UKIP or even the ultra mainstream Tories.
The BBC undermined its own claims yesterday as it fielded a media expert on the BBC news channel [not sure who he was as only saw last bit…1400 ish] who told us that Breitbart wasn’t about partisan reporting, it wasn’t an issue of neutrality…Breitbart was reporting what other news organisations don’t, or won’t, report…such as on immigration and Islam. He also gave us a clue as to why the BBC doesn’t like Breitbart. Not only does it reveal to the world facts the BBC would like kept hidden it is also in the top 30 of news providers on Facebook and something like 63rd in the US traffic ratings, which the commentator said made it a ‘leviathan’….with bigger reach than the BBC…75th in the US.
No wonder the BBC works so hard to malign this political rival just as it tried to destroy Murdoch and News Iinternational.
Good of the BBC to police the airwaves and decide who we can watch or listen to.
The far right label is almost meaningless now as it means anybody who isn’t a far left communist.
On bbbc news at about 11:30-12:00 today they were discussing Brexit on a panel type show.
All 4 on the panel were remoaners so you can imagine the balance there.
Emmanuel Goldstein
The panel show could not include Brexit supporters who by definition are far right racists and extremists
If one goes far enough to the Right or the Left, one will meet the other. In BBC lingo, only the Right can be Far Right, which means it is actually the Left we are talking of. Judge them by their fruits. Antifa is violent by design – the MO of the Left.
As for Pres Trump – if he cant get the Republicans to get behind him, he should rule by Executive Orders – just as Obama did. This will drive the Democrats insane, and in their insanity will drive themselves over the top. Then when they are exposed, shoot them – politically of course.
Breitbart was created by a Jewish person – who, according to the BBC, must have be an anti-Semite.
He then hired Steve Bannon- who according to the BBC, is a White supremacist and anti-Semite.
Steve Bannon – arch White supremacist and anti-Semite offered the senior editor post to Joel Pollak – a Polish Jew, who hails from White supremacist South Africa. Also senior London editor to. Raheem Kassam – Muslim??
What the hell is going on here?
Either Breitbart is a running a clever disinformation campaign, or the BBC is full of shiite. The latter most likely, as the BBC is quite pro-islam, though I thought it was more pro-Sunni then Shiite.
Andrew Breitbart was raised a Jew. Steve Bannon is a Roman Catholic. Raheem Kassam is an apostate Muslim.
The BBC is staffed by far Left activists who know very little about anything.
Thank you GCooper.
One thing, you will never get a highly paid job in the BBC.
I wouldn’t have lasted more than a few seconds.
I think that Milo made these points about the Breitbart Jewish connection. Although I do not remember the context .
GC, “The BBC is staffed by far Left activists who know very little about anything.”
And are Guardian readers to a ma.. wom.. er, … gender person. Don’t forget that.
Guardian fans, I discovered last year, hate Breitbart and the Daily Mail. They also hate the Daily Mail and Breitbart. In addition, they hate, absolutely hate, anyone who reads Breitbart online and the Daily Mail online or in print. Or even refers to them.
So tolerant, the Left.
(I suspect some of it may be envy, with the Guardian struggling to survive while the other two prosper.)
Ah, but just like the BBC, the Guardian has a rich sugar daddy and is not subject to market forces (the constant pleas on the Guardian website for money are just so they can buy a better vintage of champagne).
“Andrew Breitbart was raised a Jew. Steve Bannon is a Roman Catholic. Raheem Kassam is an apostate Muslim”.
One is clearly a self-hating Jew. Roman Catholics… aren’t they all child-abusing priests or something? Apostate Muslim… nothing worse, maybe ISIS have a few cranes left over?
The BBC do not make mistakes or lie. I detect the hands of Putin, Trump, Brexiters and Robert E Lee in this Breitbart thing.
There’s a concerted effort across media to further undermine Trump .The Mail was atrocious yesterday and full of fake news and fake media polls.
Breitbart was started by Andrew Breitbart who understood conservatives were at war with Marxists leftists and their media .He died in mysterious circumstances.Some of his speeches on You Tube are prophetic ,thats if they are still there. Even a Talk Sport commentator referred to Breitbart as far right.
Good things are happening economically in the States and they are well on the way to becoming net exporter of energy so self sufficient .The N. Korea problem will be solved with Trumps leverage being applied to China via Trade .Jobs and GDP has improved .
None of this positive stuff is reported but sooner or later thy won’t be able to ignore it.
President Trump is the one person who cannot be bought and is not answerable to anyone unlike most politicians.The BBC will have to report it .
Deb, what’s Donald doing this week?
The last few weeks he’s been a Russian plant, he was going to start a nuclear war and he’s well in with the kkk and nazis.
Strange how these are all forgotten after a few days until the next ridiculous accusation comes along.
The truth keeps coming out and the lefties can’t handle it.
The media are going potty because he bypasses them with each tweet and that means he can get the truth out without the media distorting it.
I believe he’s making an address to the nation during prime time today regarding Afghanistan and general foreign policy . 2am for us .
Im Sure it will be ridiculed and blamed on Trump being mad and influenced by the eclipse……
Debs,
Wonder what he will say about Afghanistan. Best thing would be for the Allies to get out altogether and leave them to kill each other . What the hell are we doing there in the first place ? If Putin does not like it , the Russians can go in. Ooops, they tried that before.
“Politics is downstream from culture” – Andrew Breitbart
It is because Breitbart knew this and acted on it that Breitbart news is so hated and feared by socialists.
Left wing goooooood.
Right wing baaaaaad.
