  • Cleaver,

    If you really want to know about BBC bias I suggest you look at a site that notes the alterations it makes to its website based news stories.

    However, I suspect you are both arguing about something you know very little about & really have no interest in.

    Cleaver,

    However, I suspect you are both arguing about something you know very little about & really have no interest in.

    I've agreed with you that the BBC is biased and put forward a theory that all media outlets have some form of bias. I was more interested in the discussion around the reasons why and rest assured that I am interested in the subject as I'm bothering to post on the matter in a, hopefully, intelligent way. Even with someone who has just called me a 'tw*t.

    As you have chosen not to engage with any of the points I've raised and have just resorted to saying that I don't know anything about the subject instead, I suggest we leave it right here.

    You seem a bit of a pomous guy if you don't mind me saying. Implying that I'm not very well educated, snidey comments about whether I read books, snipes about whether I'm university educated or not. Doesn't really make for healthy debate, does it?

    Neither does your approach.

    & your approach was first.

    & by the way some of the most intelligent people I know went no where near a University.

    My approach was to debate it with points. You've not really responded to any of them, you've just said that the "BBC is biased". We know that, and I agreed with you.

    By the way, you still haven't informed me which other posters you think I am 1984? I hope it's someone I enjoy reading the posts of like Generali, dopester, joeskeppi, mewbie, FC, Ad, Thrugelmir etc.

    If you tell me I'm also abaxas and nollag2006 I'll be well annoyed.

    Ooooo look at you, dragging all those names in "on your side" but also having "a pop" at two venerable members of the site.

    Shame on you.

    ;)

    Unsalted. Labour would like you to be unsalted. They probably have a working group on that very subject.
