The BBC: are claims of political bias justified? Part 2.

[retread2]

I see that the Elgin Marbles have a new name:

BBC World Service - Business Daily, The fight over the Parthenon Marbles

How Greece hopes to regain the ancient sculptures from the British Museum

The role will be redundant now. The Chairman Elect has already decreed that the BBC is impartial.

The £325k p.a.can now be spent on more important things like monitoring the number of crucially important national news items...

Are women let down by period trackers?​

When journalist Orla Barry received a notification from her iPhone informing her that her period was due "any day in the next three weeks", she shared it on social media with wry amusement.​

​

It wasn't the first time she'd received such an unspecific notification from the app, and it prompted others to share their stories.​

​

"I got one which said my period was 56 days late," wrote one.​

​

"My notification said 'the next nine days'," said another.​

Are women let down by period trackers?​

​

Pffft...never mind period poverty eh? Somebody’s iPhone got the wrong day - far more newsworthy.

Thing is if they asked their husbands (wives) I bet they could have got it within the hour.

 

[Truxx]

The fact that role is paid twice as much as the PM speaks volumes.

Sorted

In ink, boy, for your impertinence.

And on unlined paper.



And as for you . . .

Think on.

My history teacher used to rip a page out of an old book in Latin for us to copy, instead of lines

That's the BBC for you. Can't possibly use the name they've had for a century and a half, it might offend Stavros down the kebab house, (Whose great great great granny had been using the original site as a crapper-cum-free builders merchant before Lord Elgin bought the friezes, all legal and above board IIRC).

Stavros? 'E's a bubble, right?"

Hey-ho, Mr. Upper Crust. Is this you?

You should think about putting the door back on the microwave oven.

This thread is moving slightly off line so let's give you all something to add to your dislike of the BBC and get your ire flowing in your veins again.

What have
Andrew Marr
Laura Keunessberg
Andrew Neil
got in common, apart from working for the BBC?














They are all Scottish! That will have stirred the pot a bit

Ah yes, Laura Kuenessberg of Clan Kuenessberg fine old Scottish name.
A fruit based drink for the lady?

If Stalin had died last week, 'Hero of the working man and mostly peaceful visionary dies aged 74'.

That's the posh name you use at Uni - pleb.

As I have said before - the BBC must be doing something right in that those on the left consider them to be right wing, and those on the right consider them to be left wing. If you live on a pole, anyone at a less extreme latitude is from the opposite direction - see Professor Stephen Pinker's concept of 'the left pole'

This old cartoon says it all:

You were wrong when you said it before, and you're still wrong .

Jobs for the boys?

BBC's anti-bias boss: Senior executive is paid £325,000 a year to monitor whether the Corporation is impartial

Ken MacQuarrie given title of Executive Sponsor Safeguarding Impartiality Stood down as BBC director for nationals and regions at the end of last year He joined the BBC as a researcher in 1975 and BBC say new role is temporary

Not forgetting that he will have a staff of eleventy all with salaries in the 50-100k levels.
It takes a lot of effort trawling through the broadcasts done to provide balance only on BBC Radio Timbuktu at silly o'clock when there's been a powercut of course. They're done so the lack of bias is demonstrable.

Point of order Ms K was born in Italy. Her link to Scotland was being brought up in Glasgow and then reading History at Edinburgh Uni.
