The presenters need to focus on the policies of the Labour. They presenters frequently prevent Labour guests from answering questions. They ask questions relating to hearsay when they should be asking questions which assist the viewers in forming opinion's based on fact. My friend is a conservative voter and she believes the media are unfair when interviewing labour MPs or reporting issues in relation to the Labour party. I have other friends who have switched off from politics because of poor presenting/reporting by the BBC. Please find some integrity and engage voters by offering unbiased coverage regarding all the political parties.

This hardly validates the now standard “complaints from both sides” defence that the BBC resorts to whenever they are challenged.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818860172734529356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-47302005492472288622017-04-22T23:38:44.938+01:002017-04-22T23:38:44.938+01:00I have never had any doubt that the BBC has a stri...I have never had any doubt that the BBC has a strict soggy-left policy and will punish ANYONE who deviates from the narrow confines of that policy whether they be Corbyn or Farage. Of course they are happy to have on right wing and left wing comedy acts like Peter Hitchens or Russell Brand but they won't let anyone from the sensible right put their case in a straightforward fashion and people to the left have to watch their words (they can criticise Tories and "capitalists" but not super-rich media types).

His respondents moaning about how Theresa May is also short on details about Brexit, that the BBC is a 'Tory mouthpiece', and the one who posted the bio details about him being a Young Conservative (there's always one who has to do this), reveal the fallacy of Complaints From Both Sides.<br /><br />We all saw Robinson's overt anti-Brexit bais (anti-Brexit voter, anyway) live on the air during the BBC's vote night coverage. No impartial reporter would belittle voters on side the way he did. He repeated that same viewpoint (and it is a viewpoint, not factual reporting of evidence) recently in a discussion with Charles Moore in the Spectator. There's no mistake here, no way I'm only inferring or imagining it or claiming to read his mind.<br /><br />As for anti-Corbyn bias at the BBC, though, yes, it's real. But it's limited to certain quarters, like Marr and Robinson. With Marr, anyway, it's pro-Labour bias.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.com
