The BBC is “warping modern Britain” by allowing a Left-wing, politically correct bias to infuse the storylines of drama series, a new report has said. Some shows are described as being close to outright propaganda because of their criticisms of Brexit, the police, capitalism, the nuclear deterrent and government agencies. The Campaign for Common Sense reviewed more than a year’s output of BBC drama and found that the corporation was presenting a version of the UK that few viewers would recognise. As well as lecturing viewers on topics including climate change, the BBC indulges in its own form of social engineering by over-representing minorities, the report suggested. www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/tv/bbc-dramas-warping-modern-britain-by-allowing-left-wing-bias/ar-AA15MXPo?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=7164c98d0d7b42fc8884d7d44e020ccaI don't know about BBC dramas but just looking around me I see a Britain that I don't recognise and I am sure that many other people don't either. And it's not just t.v dramas warping the image of reality either. T.V adverts give the impression that every happy family consists of a multicultural marriage and mixed race children and that, as everyone knows, is far from the truth. I said the same the other day on social media that most people don't realise that most of the brainwashing comes from fiction such as plays and fictional films and so on. Anyway, well done to the report. Is common sense returning to government? |

Right Wing group with an anti BBC agenda doesn't approve of the BBC? Colour me shocked. Well it would hardly be done by a bunch of so-called left-wing, e.g. say the type who write there dramas eh?
What other news do you have for us?

Yes it is right wing but reading up on them they produce little output so hard to assess if it's particularly unobjective. campaigncommonsense.com/resources/ Need to see their actual report on this topic. IMHO it's likely most drama across multiple media outlets and centuries has tended to be about issues the right wing don't want raised. just go read some Charles Dickens |

I think that many of us that have spent a lifetime doing sensible jobs, paying the bills, bringing up a family are completely oblivious to what has happened, for fifty years the left have infiltrated schools, universities, public sector organisations, politics and media, and we haven't noticed. Suddenly we see an NHS that is in crisis and yet thinks the right thing to do is advertise for nonsense jobs at K£100 PA, children who think their lifestyle choices include never having to work and politicians who condone all this. From migration to tv adverts we are surrounded by alien concepts, the thing is there is a new generation for whom this is quite normal and desirable. Most of our society ills stem from America where it is even worse, any time we raise an eyebrow we are accused of being racist ( a favorite term which is hard to fathom), transphobic or fascist. We must be as vocal as possible against it, in the pubs, on the allotments, on public transport, we must never be silent.We should indeed. I clocked it from school days and have always reminded people of this. The thing is a lot of them get very angry as a response and take it as a personal insult. It's more insidious than one might imagine. See it as a virus with built in defences, e.g. the angry reaction to anything that disagrees with the paradigm. |

It's been going on since 1965 with the work started by the Wilson government having been supported by every subsequent government. And it is easy to see why the Labour governments managed to alienate their core supporters over the years by not considering many of their interests and needs. This came to fruition with NewLabour and Blair where the process of destruction was advanced rapidly and continued under so called Conservative governments. They have all been nibbling away for years under the Sacred Cows of Equality and Caring when in reality it was control that was at the heart of it. |

Certainly, we do experience that on here, sometimes a mild observation can trigger the most amazing and unbelievable vitriol drenched mis-spelt incoherent violent response, but that shouldn't preclude us from pointing out the obvious occasionally.

Rampant lefty can't see left-wing bias. "Lefty"? Moi?
Try "Confirmed capitalist with socially liberal views".
"We shall fight them in the pubs, we shall fight them on the allotments, we shall fight them on the buses - we will NEVER surrender.."
Very little, I'm afraid. Far too busy with getting the colour blind and gender-swapped casting right on the current project, thanks.

The data comes from surveys on opinion and classification of social groups like the trans group. There are also examples of bias. Unfortunately this is weak in terms of academic rigour. What people think is a wavy marker that changes with the weather.
A much better approach would be to scientifically analyse the actual output on a statistical basis. For example, if you wanted to know if the BBC is biased between Labour and Tory, just to take a simple and unambiguous example, you might do something like randomly sample hundreds of comments at random times and mark them as to whether they are talking about Tory, Labour, both or neither. You can then get a figure for the amount of airtime they talk about each party and that would be pretty immune from bias itself, because you are measuring a well-defined thing. You then might want to find out how much of this talk is negative against positive. This is where you run into difficulty because you then have to assess which comments are positive, which negative and which neutral, and better still you might want to quantify the level of negativity. For that you then need to do a second survey to measure the negativeness and positiveness of a comment which itself would need to be statistical. Hopefully most would be obvious so we'd be OK.
What you do not want to do is as a researcher to select your own examples. I played about with this myself and surprised myself in my own survey saying the BBC was far more balanced than I had imagined. This was a very simple one to see how much airtime was given to males over females. I found it was almost exactly 50/50. I then noticed there were differences on the type of programme vs the sex bias. I'd have ot do asecond survey to investigate that, but never got that far.

i would hardly call scotland for example a right wing country , but it has the highest amount of non licence fee payers as a percentage of popualtion in the entire uk , and much of the population despise the bbc with regular protests outside pacific quay headquarters of auntie in Glasgow.
The bbc is coming under fire from all quarters now , with the ever shrinking licence fee , and its audience mainly among the elderly. I think its days are numbered , certainly in its current form.
The BBC is now run privately as a business. taking public money. Scrap the licence fee i say and follow France.....let them stand on their own two feet and sell their crap content to those who wish to subscribe.... |

No Baron it is clearly not that report from nearly 18 months ago This is all we have on their site regarding the BBC and left wing stuff.
I have no idea where the one we are looking for would be if it is not under 'latest reports'.
Anyway, the one I link to is likely to be of a similar standard.

The actual report dealing with the BBC's drama output doesn't appear to be online yet. The Telegraph (and the Mail) are probably quoting snippets from an embargoed version.

That was my point, we don't have access to the relevant report |
