From the comment section from the match today on the BBC site.
"Lots of comments on the Sentinel (only media outlet more left-wing than the BBC) website this week regarding Hughes' faith in the old guard. But, Crouchy and SJW dug us out of a hole today! " (Bagdad Potter)
I think it was Sal last week suggesting that the Beeb was a right wing outfit.
Who's right? |

The right wing declare it to be left, but in truth, it's the voice of reason.

It's nauseatingly progressive, unabashedly anti-Trump, pro-authority, sycophantic to the Tories and ideologically socialist.
It's neither left nor right but seems to take the worst of both.

It's liberal right. So the same as Blair and Cameron.

I think it is hard to pin down politically/ideologically. However, I think you can say that it's not neutral or unbiased anymore like it was. There's too many correspondents on the news giving opinions instead of straight factual reporting.

The left call the BBC right wing. The right call the BBC left wing. I find the BBC consistently fall demonstrably on whatever the 'wrong' side of nearly any debate/topic they host/discuss/report/cover  sometimes morally and almost always logically. Just a few recent examples I can think of: - They (5Live, BBC One News, Newsnight) tore strips off Ched Evans for refusing to apologise to his 'victim'. They dedicated significant air time to this subject and even visited Sheffield to get local football supporters to berate him live on TV (according to forums online, they tried to encourage the people they interviewed to speak negatively of him). They put huge emphasis on the fact he had not provided any apology. They had debates involving 4 people, with nobody from Ched Evans side.... one host + three feminists (I can remember one in particular). During this time, not once did they mention that Evans was still appealing his conviction.... a conviction he has since successfully quashed, proving his innocence. I could imagine anyone on the right being utterly horrified by the way it was covered. - When they covered the Royal Baby, 5Live dedicated the entire day to it. Not just occasional updates, but live phone-ins and routinely breaking away from the limited other topics they discussed that day, to give us a 'live update' directly from the hospital. They even skipped an entire news bulletin (about a bomb going off in the middle east and 30 odd innocent civilians dying) because they thought there was something new to tell people. It was nauseating at best and anyone left wing would think the BBC had become a mouthpiece for a bunch of incredibly privileged people at the tax payers expense. As someone who utterly hates the Royal family, I was pretty disgusted by the coverage. - After Rotherham, for quite a long time (about two or three days), they refused to state that a significant majority of the perpetrators were Pakistani men. Initially, they refused to categorise them at all, just stating there were x number involved. Then they began to refer to them as Asian..... at which point, I believe a number of Indian callers phoned in and criticised them for not being specific. Seemingly after pussy-footing around the issue, they began to state it was predominantly Pakistani men who were behind the Rotherham abuse, but it was clearly a topic they didn't want to deal with. - And in my own experience, when I phoned up to criticise Greg Dyke at the FA after the watch issue, I was immediately cut off, live on air, and was told by the woman in research that the BBC have a strong relationship with the FA and didn't want to jeopardise that. Four examples there. Two of which would annoy the right, two of which would annoy the left. |

If it's posted by northwich you can never tell whether it's a shit attempt at being funny or he means it and is displaying his retardation once again. I have to say I think he genuinely believes most of the stuff he posts. Not the brightest.

Who's right? Obviously me In general I would say with eg discusssion and current affairs progs like QT, the BBC is generally fair and coming from the centre altho since populist and far right groups have made a lot more noise than the far left, they've had more coverage inevitably - which I believe the BBC should have done more to either resist or at least balance. But actual news coverage really has moved steadily to the right, Nick Robinson is/was a Tory, Laura Kuensberg is a more blatant one and ditto editorial policy. |

I just see it as the government's mouthpiece, very cleverly set up to appear as if it's a vocal opponent, when in reality it's actually it's greatest friend. Very insidious, in a cosy mother knows best kind of way. They make great drama to be fair but I stay clear of their news & lifestyle programming. I mean, if you watch those, youd think half the country can afford a 500K getaway in the Algarve, when actually many are really struggling to keep ANY roof over their heads.

Wasn't it founded to employ the public school boys who couldn't quite find a vocation.
Tripped the light fantastic between nazi and commie, straight or unorthodox.
Confused bunch until Reith stepped up.
Wildlife programmes aren't particularly right wing but I believe Big Ted was.
At least very authoritarian.

When the Parliament debate over trident was imminent they had an army bloke on the Marr show dressed in full uniform explaining why it was so essential.
Strange, usually the army usually influence policy in 3rd rate military dictatorships. But the Beeb allowed him on.
