HM Queen bad, Bono good, though both invest in offshore tax avoiding funds - Trump bad, Clinton good - Fallon bad, Lewis good - Christianity bad, Islam good - Fascist terrorists from UK bad, IS fighters from UK good (well let's say naive) - Boris bad, Nick good. Bias by omission, distortion, misrepresentation, definition, statistical fibbing, historical amnesia, unequal ethical standards, fake experts...you name it, the BBC uses it.

It's like a runaway train, unstoppable for the time being, but eventually it will run out of steam. Reporting standards have ben allowed to plummet downwards to the extent that they eagerly put out inaccurate news if it suits the narrative - without first checking out the facts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-48077056830194469542017-11-06T17:53:18.815+00:002017-11-06T17:53:18.815+00:00...and I resisted the temptation to headline the p......and I resisted the temptation to headline the post 'Hake News'.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741318067991857821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-43254561345631912812017-11-06T17:48:11.882+00:002017-11-06T17:48:11.882+00:00Thank you.

It's one thing to be ideologically opposed to Trump, but to descend to this level of 24/7 obsessive, personalised microcriticism really shows you have lost all intellectual honour and are now just grubbing around with the politicians. By the way - Iwas hoping to patent that coinage of "microcriticism" - but I see from Google that others got there before me. But it is useful, since that is what the media do now when they don't like someone or something - keep up a steady stream of microcriticism, the drip-drip of negativity that is meant to eat away at the object of hatred. <br /><br />Loved the puns - coy and carp! :) They were brill!!<br /><br /> Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.com
