One of the worst characteristics bout BBC bias is the sheer scale of it and even as we watch or listen to one programme you can be sure there will be another one on the network that is equally reprehensible. A Biased BBC reader notes;
“I don’t know whetheryou listened to the regular Wednesday afternoon programme of ‘Thinking Aloud’ on BBC Radio 4 (Wed 16 March at 4pm – still on I-player). This was a specialprogramme devoted to the views of Stuart Hall who (in the words of the text onthe BBC web-site!) is (sic) “Britain’s leading cultural theorist”.What we actually know is that Stuart Hall has always been a voice of the’left’. He was the first editor of the ‘New Left Review’ and a contributor to’Marxism Today’ etc etc and a favourite of the Guardian. In what I guess shouldhave been a full-length interview on cultural trends or the culture of politicsin Britain we actually got a full political lecture from a particular ‘leftwing perspective’.
One section of the interview covers the current Government and Stuart Hall’sviews of it (quote) “Think of the nonsense about fairness which has goneon since the coalition got in”.. I would have thought as this show wasgiving voice to someone with a very particular ‘political’ view of Governmentand society the BBC’s Charter would have meant that a second person of similarstanding should have been allowed to air contrary or different views. But Iguess this is too much to expect!”
It is indeed. The BBC loves putting out this kind of leftist dross, tucked away all over the weekly schedule.
