The BBC: as anyone who has 5 brain cells, an interest in political matters and has ever watched the UK BBC tv news or listened on the radio will soon deduce; there's a continuous stream of bias emanating from their News and Current Affairs Dept. Even Al Jazeera is more balanced when reporting about events in the Middle East and Israel. For folks not residing in the UK who may be unaware of this quaint arrangement: The BBC is a company that is, in theory "owned" by the nation via the government. It receives tens of millions of pounds of government grants ( taxpayers' money)...and then each year, you HAVE to buy a £145 (approx $230) TV license even if you never watch TV or listen to the radio! You just have to own or buy anything the BBC regards as being able to "receive a signal," like a computer for example.
By law, the store you purchase from has to take the information as to where you reside. Your driving licence or a utility bill will be accepted as confirmation of your address. The store then passes on this information to the BBC's very own Stazi Licencing Office. Anyone who has ever watched a black and white film, set in Europe during WW2, may have seen the Nazis with a detection vehicle trying to pick up a radio transmitting Morse code from The Resistance in occupied Europe, to their controller in London. The BBC has the updated versions of such vehicles cruising the streets of Britain. (see photo below)
The BBC long ago lost it's badge of honest, unbiased news reporting. It's influence on the British and world wide audience who, for historical reasons, still misguidedly regard the BBC as a beacon of balance.
In 2011 Mark Thompson, the current BBC Director General, wrote, "In the BBC I joined 30 years ago there was, in much of current affairs, in terms of people's personal politics, which were quite vocal, a massive bias to the left." In 2011, Peter Oborne wrote, "Rather than representing the nation as a whole, the BBC has become a vital resource – and sometimes attack weapon – for a narrow, arrogant Left-Liberal elite"
The Biased-BBC was set up to keep an eye and ear on BBC news reports. Recently, the Biased-BBC web site was blocked by two major companies on 5th March; T-Mobile being one of the culprits. Strangely, their site consistently has problems staying online; for there are those who would rather like it to disappear... permanently! So... give the link below any support you can.
