News: Blatant BBC Bias

B.A.Ware · 01-05-2008, 04:45 PM

I have just been on the BBC website in the political section and they have a story from every London mayoral candidate except UKIP if this isn't deliberate i don't know what is.

They are biased to the core. They are so biased, they probably don't even know they are being biased half the time.

I rarely watch the ***** anymore. HYS is the only good thing about BBC "news" now.

The BBC takes funds from the EU.

UKIP obviously have a good case so are therefore a threat to the europhiles.

Nail on head. To a Guardian-reading, tree-hugging, car worrying, lentil-muching commie cretin such as those employed everywhere at the Bunch of Bleedin' Commies, even Camoron seems right-wing.

I'll be interested to see how they treat the libertarian party in the future when they stand for election, considering one of the policies on their website is to discuss BBC privatisation.

Not only the BBC. I have yet to see a single mention of UKIP on Sky News.

There not the only ones .Southern fm have been running a series on what the different candidates believe on certain issues.All the parties had there say bar one, (UKIP)

I bet secretly the europhiles are more worried about UKIP then they are letting on??.

Doesn't seem to be anything to complain about on this page giving info on all the candidates, with UKIP shown in 4th position.

I think you are right Steve.

The europhiles know that how many votes UKIP pulls away from other candidates can be the deciding factor in who wins a marginal ward/constituency.
