An interesting post from pugnazious at Biased BBC yesterday:
Can you remember back to 2015, just before the Tories got their majority, when the BBC was telling us the Party system was broken, there would be no more majority governments…and that was a good thing?
LOL.
The BBC is so out of touch, its judgements are all coloured by their personal views and opinions, and even when they know something to be true they manage to block it out ala 1984 and Doublethink if it doesn’t fit the narrative….such as Pienaar telling us that the word on the doorstep was that Corbyn was not trusted and wouldn’t be getting their vote, or Mardell telling us people, Leave and Remain, were insisting that politicians ‘get Brexit done’…..both inconvenient truths ignored by the BBC during the campaign.
It would be fascinating to see a genuinely independent review of the BBC’s coverage of Brexit and this and the 2017 election. I think it would open a few eyes to just how biased and anti-Tory the BBC really is….you have to think the Tory Party doesn’t have a clue just how much anti-Tory propaganda is spewed out by the BBC…it may have an idea that the BBC is biased but no idea just how strong that bias really is, how casual it is and how readily accepted it is by others without comment on programmes and shows.
Chiles for example…definitely not a Tory boy. A guest mentioned Jews living in fear #duetoCorbyn and Chiles parried, and dismissed those fears, by saying Jews weren’t the only ones living in fear in Britain…what about those living in fear due to having to rely on foodbanks or on Universal Credit or charity?…all the fault of the dastardly Tories….thus you might not want to vote Corbyn due fear of anti-semitism but consider the fear that the Tories instill in those living in poverty stricken Britain and weigh that in the balance….jews or the poor?
On the subject of Boris Chiles just started off on a rant about Boris not knowing anything about the Middle East…thus he wasn’t fit to be PM…presumably we were being treated to a well-honed party piece that Chiles put on during his lefty dinner parties when he’d have an appreciative and uncritical audience. Just seemed a very random issue that arose out of the depths of Chiles’ brain rather than any real, substantial concern….Chiles just inventing an issue because he had to say something to criticise Boris.
Chiles also thinks Boris should get rid of his ‘toxic frontbenchers’…like Priti Patel and Jacob Rees Mogg. …a BBC-wide narrative that portrays the ERG and Brexit supporters as extremists and ultras, happy to allow the likes of Ken Clarke and Grieve to malign them as ‘far-right’. Laughed to hear the BBC welcome the big majority as it would mean Boris was no longer beholden to the extremists of the ERG and DUP…odd the BBC never characterises the Remain extremists as extremists…the BBC always calls them ‘moderates’ and is quite happy that they can hijack Parliament and hold Boris to ransom.
Chiles also claims that Boris gets away with murder….he lies and lies and lies and no-one says anything….well first does he lie? and second the BBC is continually trying to tear apart anything he says or proposes and consistently labels him a liar and untrustworthy whilst failing to note Corbyn’s lies and dissembling.
The BBC plays games with numbers and interprets them the way they want to so that Boris is cast as a liar…such as the £350m, or the 50,000 nurses, or the 40 hospitals he wants to build. Ridiculously the BBC says well, he’s not building them right now so it’s just a lie to say he’s building 40 hospitals. Is that how they interpret every party manifesto? if a policy is announced but isn’t immediately put into action, even before the election, the party is lying? Complete tosh.
Chiles finished on a doozy telling us that after the election result came in his distraught daughter texted him saying she was never going to give up a seat on a bus to an old person again….she’d make them stand there and force them to think about what they had just done. The crab apple doesn’t fall far from the tree I guess in that family. Not sure why he thought this was a suitable story to tell…puts his daughter in a bad light and illustrates, once again, the sort of hate that is whipped up against Brexit/Tory voters and old people…but is not a concern for the BBC which is so, so concerned about Boris’ hateful language…you know…’Surrender Act’…..lock him up!
Not a bad days work for Chiles…all in one programme, just a stream of casual anti-Tory, anti-Brexit comments that came all too easily and naturally to him that he didn’t even think twice about saying them or register that they were so partisan.
Just another day at the BBC.
