The so called news on the main Channels is now 90% views, opinions, projections, expert commentary and speculation. That's why it's often a pleasure to go to the World Service - they have so much to cover that they have to provide more news. <br /><br />We could definitely do without the Norman Smith slanted commentary, the bogus economics of Kemal Ahmad and LK's nonsense.

We had lots of speculation about where we might end up out of the EU but what about if we stayed in?<br />If one is old enough we know where we started and we know where we are, we can perhaps deduce where we would have ended up in the EU but the BBC kept these FACTS away from the public during the 'debate'.<br />When we joined the EEC we were told that if we didn't like something we could veto it, now that is a lost power. We were told that 'free movement' wouldn't happen, it perhaps was only to allow the head of Ford to move from Dagenham to Dusseldorf, not for the whole of eastern youth to move westwards.<br />The BBC is very selective with the facts when it suits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-38789411739558401282017-01-22T13:21:47.007+00:002017-01-22T13:21:47.007+00:00The Thought Police are here again.

Unlike 'spin', bias itself is predictable and reliable - so, the viewer or listener is forced to provide their own levelling adjustment. The sooner the BBC realises that viewers take the 'news' with a pinch of salt, the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
