This week the Centre for Policy Studies published a report claiming to have found a left of centre bias in the BBC’s online reporting of think tanks. They also claim right of centre think tanks are more likely to receive health warnings than their left of centre counterparts.
The CPS itself is hardly impartial on the BBC – it argues for a smaller BBC and campaigns against the licence fee.
BBC News provides impartial and independent coverage to a quarter of a billion people across the world.

A new day, a new head of news, the same old bias ala the Today show.
List it all here……
Found myself looking inside the New European this week.
They have a nasty little “Top Ten” of those they hate-and give venomous reasons why.
You can guess their enemies-Rees Mogg and Davis etc.
Where`s ours then?
Based on last week mine would be
1. Dominic Grieve
2. Anna Soubry
3. That goolie fella (Jonathan Googley was it?)
4. Ken Clarke
5. Nicky Morgan
6. Lily Allen
7.JK Rowling
8. Louise Richardson
9. Christian Slade
10.Damien Hirst
All-had time on the media last week to sell LPs or spout anti-Brexit crap, and could easily write some bitchslap on all of them. But I`m not paid by Soros or stuck in a dark room with Alastair Campbell.
That said, he was quiet last week-maybe that depressed slump that follows a hypomanic traipse around the BBCs studios spitting venom, high on your drugs.
Doesn’t Katty’s impartiality shine through?
She is referring to this tweet.
So instead of the usual mawkish platitudes by politicians (O’Barmy would be doing his fighting-back-the-non-existent-tears, Stoic-on-the-outside-but-crying-on-the-inside number*) Trump wants to actually do something about the infrastructure. Shame on him. He should be pretending to sob like everybody here in the bbc studio. Cappuccino anyone?
*B-Liar used to do the same cheap trick, struggling to keep the non-existent emotions in check.
Seems an odd cove.
Not the most convincing one to deploy for the ‘offending both sides’ front.
I might have more sympathy to the BBC news going on about threats issued to Brexit-opposing MPs if they had shown any interest in the threats Nigel Farage endured for years.
But they didn’t. So phrases involving sauce for the goose come to mind.
Headline news on CNBC – “Economic optimism soars to record levels, boosting Trump’s approval rating”. http://cnb.cx/2CVjMW5
Good luck finding that on the BBC – I know I couldn’t!
I see that the FTSE 100 has finished the day just 60 points below its all-time high, and the FTSE 250 that the BBC were so interested in when it fell after the Brexit vote (but strangely not now) is just 240 points below its all-time high.
Is that tumbleweed I can see ……?
“BBC and Guardian sued over Paradise Papers leaks”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42403700
“Law firm Appleby is taking legal action against the BBC and the Guardian over their reporting of leaked documents detailing offshore tax-avoidance schemes, known as the Paradise Papers.”
Will there be details of BBC stars that use tax-avoidance schemes? Any that receive more monies than our PM.
I see that both the BBC and Guardian are being sued over the leaked ‘Paradise Papers’. I do think there is a case that giant global mega-corporations could cough up more tax to benefit the countries they are based in, but this is probably due to politicians being bought off. Of course individuals will avoid paying tax if they can (to Governments that proceed to promptly waste it all), if the laws are shot through with loopholes.
Having said all that I hope the BBC and the Guardian are hit with massive fines, enough to push them over the edge into extinction, please God.
edit – Taffman you just beat me to it, wasn’t copying honest!

Copy if you want, there is no problem there.
The problem is that Al Beeb’s fines are paid by those poor mugs who pay the Telly Poll Tax.
“RAF Mildenhall: Shots fired in security alert at US Suffolk airbase”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42401585
“Police said the incident was being treated as trespass, not terrorism.”
Translation: Police have been told by their political masters to treat the incident as trespass, not terrorism.
Remember May? Islam is a great faith.
How does the idiot Lammy think more bame judges is going to help exactly
studies suggest your chance of going to court if arrested for any particular crime is much the same no matter what your ethnicity
studies also suggest sentencing isnt any different no matter what your ethnicity
So once the JURY finds you guilty the judges power is to sentence you, is he really suggesting BAME people get shorter sentences, because that seems to be the only logic.
What next only a small % of terrorists in jail to be muslims to reflect society?
Had to laugh at the radio as presenter introduced a BAME ex prisoner who said once the officers started to call us BLACK and not COLOURED then we all got on much better and once they understood our culture better us BME prisoners felt much better
jeez mate if you dont know your BAME from your BME how the fook should we know what to say
