I mean, yes it's unhelpful to intermingle reporting and opinion, but I doubt anyone left with the impression that Sweden is literally crime-free...idle_commenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804612509560444287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-78148171858030202362017-03-04T20:36:07.729+00:002017-03-04T20:36:07.729+00:00I heard this at the time and thought it the most b...I heard this at the time and thought it the most biased piece of ad hominem crap that has been spouted by the BBC in its "news output"-and there is plenty competition.<br />Utterly disgraceful...and felt Bolton used Chomsky Rules- limit the debate between really narrow parameters...but then argue it as it it matters, with lots of heat and noise. But no light.<br />It wasn`t funny-wan`t helpful-wasn`t insightful-was simply a sound off from one of the BBCs drugs casualties able to traipse the world at our expense.<br />And a pack of lies in that Sweden HAS had one or two issues-but it being a threat to the EU, an unwelcome look at Muslim crime and jihad?...well, let`s not lift THAT particular stone will we?<br />Apart from all that?...fair and impartial as usual.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037730731189490670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-32659919360649646392017-03-04T17:21:20.763+00:002017-03-04T17:21:20.763+00:00Name any style - Jonny can be biased in it.

But we are also including items in which we have allowed the reporter's imagination to roam freely. We are now also referring to this as news. We remind our listeners and viewers that truth is relative.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818860172734529356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-31753418503295914832017-03-04T16:14:54.754+00:002017-03-04T16:14:54.754+00:00I expect 'feedback' needn't necessaril...I expect 'feedback' needn't necessarily be critical so if the BBC want to turn the programme into an <i>Archers</i> love-in they can. It certainly is becoming less critical than in the past and the BBC certainly becomes less likely to admit that it got it wrong.<br />I think Caroline Raphael was the last, (and only), person to admit that the listeners might have a point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
