Although I believe this was by all the press outlets, it wasn't good when the Biased Broadcasting Company tried to slant things in Labour's favour most of the time.
Whereas I believe in the free press, I also think they should show less bias and more responsibility, as well as observing more of the reportees privacy.
Please give us a couple of examples of this alleged BBC bias. It should be very easy if they "tried to slant things in Labour's favour
most of the time."
What gives you the right to keep asking other members questions when you can’t be bothered answering questions members put forward to you?
I normally do answer serious questions. You never answer any as far as I am aware. You appear to prefer mindless abuse to reasonable discussion so I usually ignore you.
However I would be genuinely interested to see examples of this alleged bias as I suspect it is largely ot totally imaginary.
XM, your response/request for evidence actually proves my point in that you only see what you want to see. I've heard comments on both Sky news and ITV. I'm afraid I haven't logged every comment I've heard, I didn't think I needed to.
Asking for evidence is hardly proof. With that logic if you said the earth was flat and I asked for evidence, in your view that proves it is flat. The reality is that you believe it because you have been told it is true and it is you who are only seeing what you want to see.
As TROY has already pointed out I honestly would like to see some examples of specific incidents of this alleged bias.
Are you seriously saying this?
As an aside, prove the earth isn't flat, yourself, and without all the technical support you would need. Obviously, you can't. By the same token, when looking for news items to support your point of view, you rely on others, and as we all do, tend to believe those who generally think the same way as we do, but that doesn't make it right.
At the moment I feel that the losers in this election, sorry, but that includes you XM, are hanging on to old arguments, as things are changing, and you don't have any new material. Lets see what happens, and If things do go off the rails, I will gladly agree with you, but digging up old news and regurgitating it doesn't do it for me.
In case I decide to ignore you again, have an excellent Christmas and New Year
