O/T - general election 2019

[Exiletyke]

I think you're missing the point.

The article wasn't an examination of the NHS, good or bad. The BBC had got it under Election Coverage. As such it should be a balanced look, not emotive stuff about certain (no doubt carefully selected) individuals within it.

Any idea where to look for any news media that presents a balanced look
Almost the entire news media has a very strong right wing leaning but that's ok is it?

There are right wing and left wing newspapers, Mail to the right, Guardian to the left.

But this is the BBC who should be impartial and fair at all times.

They aren't

...and we are saturated with right wing newspapers...only the guardian and mirror are remotely left...

You won’t find a non biased media. It all depends whose presenting on the BBC. The totty that presents Question Time isn’t pro left wing either.
The establishment is set up to prevent a Left Wing Government especially one led by Jeremy Corbyn, surely you realise that by now Exile.

But why is that, Roly? Is it because people choose their paper according to their politics and the people of this country tend not to favour the Left?

I shouldn't think that you are a Daily Mail reader and that Grist likes The Guardian.

If you think that I'm wrong, why doesn't someone start a left leaning paper to fill the apparent gap on the market? I'm sure the NUJ and print unions would be happy to assist

Why would any person of sound mind base their voting intention on reading the Mirror, Guardian, Express, Mail, Sun etc.
That would be classed as brainwashing at the very least.
If any sane person votes by listening to the media then they may need their bumps feeling up.

Don't vote for commie Corbyn who always sides with Britains enemies, Russia, Hamas, Hezbollah, the IRA etc. He would bankrupt our economy, decimate our Armed Forces. Champion of the working classes, I don't think so, he has never worked in his life, just an embarrassment in politics. I am not a Tory but a Veteran and one who loves our country, keep him out.

[Brin]

and you think coming on here telling folk what to do with their personal democratic vote is ok?

I've a lot of time for you Claw but what you're doing is out of order pal.

Out of interest, if you're not voting Labour am I to presume you are voting Brexit? Just another extension of the Tory arm....

I'm afraid it's much more subtle yet manipulative than that
People will soak up the right wing propaganda because of it's pervasive nature... It pays to advertise

Do you think the program was biased?
