But the BBC default of refusing to answer a reasonable question, even to point elsewhere as can happen, has again given lie to their constant false claims of trust and transparency.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550976834509947355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-87364893908851304642017-01-02T16:19:55.572+00:002017-01-02T16:19:55.572+00:00You have a point.

Pretty much everything about the BBC's EU funding, however, tends to come out through bloggers searching the EU website and then writing about it. Without those nosy bloggers few people would ever know that the BBC still receives EU funding - and sometimes uses it for far less innocuous-sounding projects.<br /><br />http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/the-smoking-gun.htmlCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741318067991857821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-44581718835188455142017-01-02T13:28:24.096+00:002017-01-02T13:28:24.096+00:00So secret that anyone can find it, as published on...So secret that anyone can find it, as published on the EU website! What exactly is the pro-EU propaganda that is envisaged might arise from a project to provide drone coverage of open air events? I am often outraged by BBC bias (and this blog has catalogued some shockers - Simon McCoy interviewing Douglas Carswell may be the worst) but this seems innocuous to me.idle_commenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804612509560444287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-65641406105045743032017-01-02T09:33:31.534+00:002017-01-02T09:33:31.534+00:00I was just going to post about this programme.
