Of course, we know from previous experience that certain top Beeboids get very upset when on-air talent appear to support Team GB over other nations at the Olympics, but the outcry this time was pretty clearly about trying to spin it as Leadsom wanting the BBC to support the Tory Government.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-24453921600153481592017-06-26T18:02:34.704+01:002017-06-26T18:02:34.704+01:00ah got it at last.

Really??Really???!!!<br /><br />How then does Mr Dementer explain a Newsnight Special on the housing crisis from a few months ago that failed to air the perfectly reasonable proposition that the housing crisis might just possibly be the result of the migration-driven population explosion we are currently experiencing (over 500,000 additional people to house eery year). <br /><br />Why do we hear so few pro-Trump voices on the BBC (asking an anti-Trump Republican on doesn't count, I'm afraid)? <br /><br />Why do we hardly ever hear anyone arguing against welfare dependency and single parenthood as a lifestyle choice? <br /><br />Why? Because as Mr Dementer no doubt knows, certain arguments and opinions are favoured on the BBC and others are not. A cosy chat with Gerry Adams would be one thing...but the DUP - sharpen your knives? Interviewing Nigel Farage? - ask him ridiculous questions about the Paddington Bear Movie. <br /><br />And if patriotism is such a no-no for broadcasters can BBC presenters please stop looking insanely happy when an England women's hockey team scrapes through to the World Cup semi-finals or Andy Murray wins something and instead assume a strictly neutral expression.
