    My favourite by the BBC is them telling the world that building 7 had also collapsed on 9/11 a good half an hour before it actually did.
    MIT was actually still standing behind the live feed the reporter was commentating on.

    Unfortunately the connection between the BBC and the live feed was lost due to a technical fault 😂

    Same with the miners strike 1984-85
    The BBC & Thatcher walked hand in hand.
    After the strike, the BBC asked for stories.
    I sent one my wife had cancer in 1984, She was in Weston Park hospital, Sheffield.
    I was on strike, I asked the social by phone,(only way we were allowed to contact them) for bus fare to the hospital from Mexborough, woman end of the line said, I had to walk it, I said what about my kids, she said, they will have to walk it with you.
    They sent a 50p giro cheque for my wife's train fare,
    & wrote in red ink on the paperwork,
    " For your wife only "
    They didn't use it too damaging against the Thatcher government.
    The Union gave me bus fare money.

    Nicky Campbell at 9 on radio 5 is a real snidey sod - takes any opportunity to slag off Trump, Farage or Boris etc or anyone non woke !!!

    Talk Radio has like GB news some real debates more in sync with reality

    No defending the BBC in their editing on this one. Very poor journalism.

    But for people to then say that the likes of GB News deliver truthful, balanced news is laughable as it has been hit by Ofcom fines over 10 times for misinformation since it's launch 4 years ago. GB News is no better than the likes of Novara Media - presenting a very biased version of the news to suit a far right/left agenda. This is all well and good, but neither should really be taken seriously as an impartial or balanced news source. The BBC seems to be trying to join them with this sloppy nonsense. Go to multiple news sources I'd say, don't rely on any one of them.

    Pretty much this ^^.

    People, unfortunately, will only go as far as they need to find a source which:
    1) Feels reasonably credible
    2) Aligns to their general world view

    Staunchly sitting in the corner of any of these people/entities, defending or championing them, with no ability to accept that they're deeply flawed, is what kills any sort of meaningful discussion.

    They. Are. All. Rotten.
