BBC is left wing? News to me |  | |  |

it is perceived as being left wing because compared to the majority of the other media it is. But that ignores the fact that all the other media is very much right wing. And how dare we have a news organisation that isn't... |  |

I was sitting with an ex journalist, a quite high up producer and an award winning business corespondent on the terrace of the old TVC bar getting smashed (he had to go on air 2 hours in)  .
Anyway we joked (half seriously) this was the biggest right leaning gathering ever seen at TVC. |  |

I wondered how long it would be before you joined in this conversation spouting the same (bias) Tory bollocks.
You were only a few minutes later than I thought! | |

Let's see if I've got this straight....
You reckon the left-wing Beeb don't want the most left-wing Labour candidate to win because it would help the Tories?
 
You really can't please some people! |  |

He is so left wing as to almost be a laughing stock .
They cant get behind that , they want someone more moderate so they can pretend that they are impartial . | | | |

I voted Tory and want them in government but we need a credible opposition , that the way the system works .
If (when) Corbyn gets elected voting for them becomes impossible . | | | |

Aren't the Tories pro-establishment? Isn't that why they call themselves 'conservative?
Perhaps the BBC are secretly right-wing?

I can't speak for the domestic BBC these days. As far as the international correspondents go I think a lot of what they broadcast is a reflection of how that individual draws on their beliefs to report what's going on in the country. Also how far they're prepared to go against the wishes of govt officials or any handlers they might have to uncover the alternative point of view. The correspondent in Venezuela, for example, has at times come across as a total Chavista in every way except for the red baseball cap.
So basically it makes sense to take all of it with a pinch of salt. The idea that what the BBC puts out is impartial in any particular direction just can't be true. |  | | |

The little bit of Panorama that I watched on Monday night was a real hatchet job on Corbyn.
But, it's probably come far too late. It looks like he will win and Labour can say goodbye to power for the next 2 elections, at least. |  |

I think the BBC generally tries to stay middle ground. They have policies geared toward balance (according to a lad I went to school with who is now fairly senior) eg if they have a left wing comic on a panel show they try and find a right wing next week to balance it out.
That said I'd bet that if you looked at the workforce as a whole then you would find a disproportionate amount of them are left leaning compared with the general pop.
I'd echo sentiments above, the media as a whole is right wing dominated. |  |

Argghhh! there's that word 'credible' again. I can't imagine how many 'commentators' you must have read in The Sun feeding you that word. What credible like Milliband? Hahahahahahahahah. When these people say credible what they actually mean is 'someone with the same ideas as us'. As AgedR wonderfully pointed out in an earlier thread, Tony Blair has spent more time attacking Corbyn in two weeks than he has Cameron in over five years. Large swathes of us (on both sides of the political coin) are fed up of these types.
To many of us Corbin's philosophy of a society organised around trying to look after its member's interests instead of one where the interests of the few are prioritised as we move towards nothing being left without a pound sign on it as our infrastructure is sold to foreign multi nationals and hedge funds is as credible as it gets.
I'll tell you what's not credible, the idea that we'll have any real democracy left after the introduction of TTIP (look it up, they won't be telling you about that in The Sun). Funnily enough Corbin is opposed to TTIP and I can assure you that the real money men and corporations who run things will do anything to destroy such opponents 'credibility'.
I'll tell you what's not credible, selling off the NHS to American companies who will take out a large chunk of the money WE ALL PAY in to the service for themselves that would previously have been spent on looking after us.
I'll tell you what's not credible, being one of the worlds major arms dealers, selling to countless regimes on our own danger list, lying about the reasons for illegally invading countries - devastating their infrastructure and creating hotbeds for terrorism where previously none existed. Forcing our brave servicemen and women to risk their lives and then treating many who are affected badly, either physically, mentally or emotionally by combat, appallingly.
I'll tell you what's not credible, making Bank's debts public but their profits private.
I'll tell you what's not credible, increasingly dismantling workers rights that were hard fought for making it easier for the exploitation of workers (you know like we see elsewhere in the world making our trainers and that, and think to ourselves thank f**k we don't get treated like that by multi national organisations who view profit over any level of humanity) through the likes of zero hours contracts etc etc which CAN ONLY LEAD to a lower standard of living for people and increased competition for jobs that do not even cover basic existence needs. (See welfare cuts, food banks etc etc etc). The result of which can only be a break down of communities, incredibly increased levels of desperation and thus agitation and a depressing race to the bottom. You're a taxi man Essex, what about the likes of Uber? Do you know how much of that goes into an American company's profits? Money that previously went straight into the income of our cabbies (who then spent the income in their community etc etc).
I'll tell you what's not credible, selling off our assets like the Post Office to your mates at a deliberately lowered price so that they can make an instant profit of a quarter of a billion quid. Leading to a temporary boost to the coffers but ultimately, again, costing us as a society as it ends up in foreign hands who will take a profit out of us every year just for letting us distribute our mail!!!
I'll tell you what's not credible, letting multi national billion dollar corporations use loop holes to avoid paying huge amounts of tax whilst at the other end taking out f**king adverts telling you to shop some poor c*nt who's topping up his 80 quid a week with a bit of 5 quid an hour window cleaning on the side to make ends meet.
I'll tell you what's not credible, 1000, yep just 1000 of the country's richest people increasing their wealth by 300 billion, that's right BILLION, pounds (not including their bank accounts!!) in the last ten years. Ten years in which we've been told we have to accept the reduction of nearly all the wonderful infrastructure/services that make this country so great. Just 1000 of them, wouldn't even fill a stand at AFC Wimbledon.
Trust me I could go on all day. I'm not saying Corbyn is a perfect and even when he wins this all the career politician RoboBlairs in the party will make it impossible for him to do anything, but this whole mass brainwash, one party state is all that is acceptable/credible b*llshit is a nonsense.
In the spirit of love and oneness, I'm suggesting a Farage/Corbyn dream team. Their campaign tag line will be 'Looking after our own'. Now that's credible. [Post edited 11 Sep 2015 16:27]

I suspect Corbyn is a much greater danger to the Tories than presently acknowledged.
If someone as unashamedly centre right as I am can agree with him on certain aspects there must be a whole load of people to the left of this stance that will follow him.
As for the BBC, you've only got to see the coverage of the Syrian refugees/economic migrants to see how far left they are. Apparently the whole country is behind mass immigration now, in fact, make that the whole of Europe. That is, apart from virtually every one I know.
A test for those who believe the BBC is unbiased. On your way to the game tomorrow, walk in and out the BBC studios togged up as Stalin then return in full Hitler regalia and see which one gets you banged up for the night. |  | | |
