For someone who doesn't watch GB News, you claim to know a lot about it. But what you missed is slightly suspicious. GB News is unashamedly centre right as the BBC is centre left. The difference is GB News employs ex Labour MP's and people from the left wing media, who provide an alternative argument, on the other hand the BBC regard anyone with an alternative argument as a far right extremist. Some people do believe that the BBC is Left orientated, but then other people will insist that the BBC is Right or Tory orientated. I do not believe it is either, and the more appropriate way to descrime GB News is "Populist Right", certainly not "Centre Right". GB News is the ONLY current affairs channel where a Tory MP is cross examined by a presenter who is an ex Tory MP, and there is never a counter argument. This does not happen on the BBC or ITN or SKY. Can you provide one scrap of evidence however vague that suggests the BBC is right wing or pro Tory? Such a suggestion is too ludicrous to be taken seriously. |

Such a suggestion is too ludicrous to be taken seriously. 2019 general election - Owen Jones accusses BBC of bias towards the Conservatives audioboom.com/posts/7439240-bbc-is-biased-owenjones84-v-bbc-stephennolanNew BBC Chairman has donated over £400,000 to the Conservative Party bylinetimes.com/2021/01/06/new-bbc-chairman-richard-sharp-donated-more-than-400000-to-conservative-party/active Tory party agent’ shaping BBC news output www.theguardian.com/media/2022/aug/24/emily-maitlis-says-active-tory-party-agent-shaping-bbc-news-outputPress Gazette >> In Yougov’s biannual public opinion tracker, about 20% agree that the BBC tends to favour Labour and/or the left. But the other 80% disagree, including about 20% who say exactly the opposite – that it generally favours the Conservatives and/or the right. The majority (about 60%) fall somewhere in between, either explicitly saying it is generally neutral or responding “don’t know’ – hardly compatible with the idea that it is palpably left-wing. pressgazette.co.uk/comment-analysis/bbc-left-wing-bias/Here's one ( credible in my opinion ) from the far Left >> Apparently, following the Conservative Party gaining a substantial majority at the 2019 general election, the BBC will no longer select audiences to “reflect a broad range of political views”. Instead, the broadcaster is now choosing audience members based on “the current political picture” in the country where the episode takes place. On 16 January, that ensured Liverpool – an area of England where voters delivered only Labour MPs at the election – was represented by an audience of “more Conservative than Labour supporters”.

I said "evidence" ffs. And I cant believe you quoted that little left wing poof Owen Jones LOL, get in the bin. This is "evidence": BBC bias in their own words. When people ask for evidence of an institutional Left-wing bias at the BBC, this is the place to go for evidence - link .Out of the mouths of BBC employees... Quote: The BBC is “a publicly-funded urban organisation with an abnormally large proportion of younger people, of people in ethnic minorities and almost certainly of gay people, compared with the population at large”. All this, Andrew Marr said, “creates an innate liberal bias inside the BBC”. Quote: “I do remember… the corridors of Broadcasting House were strewn with empty champagne bottles. I’ll always remember that” - Jane Garvey, BBC Radio 4 presenter, recalling Tony Blair’s election victory in 1997. Quote: “We need to foster peculiarity, idiosyncrasy, stubborn-mindedness and left-of-centre thinking.” – Ben Stephenson, BBC controller of drama commissioning. Owen Jones indeed lol. |

...Some people do believe that the BBC is Left orientated... Yes, normal people. ...but then other people will insist that the BBC is Right or Tory orientated... Yes, lefty nutters. The BBC is a self confessed lefty organisation and, it would appear, institutionally anti-Semitic to boot. |

Red Rackham - You are Right wing, you say the BBC is Left biased Owen Jones - is Left wing, he says the BBC is Right biased Emily Mattis - Has been accussed of been Left wing ( who knows ), she says the BBC is been manipulated by The Conservatives Who is right ? ... who is wrong ? According to surveys and polls MOST people neither believe the BBC is Right OR Left biased, and a similar number of people believe it to favour the Conservatives as those who think the opposite yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/trackers/is-the-bbc-more-favourable-towards-labour-the-left-or-the-conservatives-the-rightAround 60% of the population either DONT KNOW or believe the BBC is neutral For me personaly, I am of The Left, but I do not believe the BBC favours the Right or the Conservatives, I am very firmly of the opinion that (A) the BBC makes every attempt to be impartial, and that (B) the BBC can never seem to do right for doing wrong. |

per Moderator Monte: "'Left wing poof'' is unacceptable language Red."
I'm sure many members would appreciate guidance on what else is unacceptable language here. Just so we don't fall foul of the same snare as Red just now, you understand.

I consider my politics to be centre right, which as far as lefties are concerned means I'm a right wing extremist. However, whenever I do the political compass test my result is always very slightly to the left of centre. As far as BBC bias is concerned, they said it themselves - BBC bias in their own words - link |

It's a Labour party mouthpiece that supports Hamas over the law. It's a fact that the BBC can never be right wing under its existing model. It's pro-Labour no matter the cost. Labour will guarantee taxing the people to fund the BBC. |

''Left wing poof'' is unacceptable language Red. Certainly not language I would use, but it is factual isn't it? Keep your homophobia to yourself. What homophobia? By the way, that was just your opinion wasn't it? Not a "MODERATOR NOTICE"? |

The BBC and other lefties need to define what they class as terrorists and racist, they are sending out mixed messages, you are either outraged at terrorists or you are not, you can't pick and choose what terrorists you prefer not to call terrorists, the clue is in the word.
This is why the left are always called out, they all jumped on the BLM bandwagon, the knee taking virtue signalling, Jug ears Linker forever spouting off his mouth, yet when something like this happens in Isreal they are noticeable by their uncharacteristic silence, doesn't take much to work out their double standard hypocrisy.

By the way, that was just your opinion wasn't it? Not a "MODERATOR NOTICE"? Derogatory language against homosexuals is homophobic. If I had my moderator's hat on I'd have deleted the comment. |
