How BBC was “nobbled” before our vote to join EEC

it is a shame these despicable Traitors are no longer alive to stand trial on Treason charges along with Major Blair Mandleson etc

Even if they were (and some still are) you would get nowhere as the legal system is corrupted by protectionism from ‘on high’. I’ve tried it. It’s shut down at grass roots level for fear of it getting a foothold.

To make my day I’ve just watched “Newswatch” on the Beeb. The arrogance and superciliousness of the controller of BBC News beggars belief. Strangely, most foreigners seem to think the BBC is wonderful. I think that says more about their own broadcasters than anything else. The Metropolitan elite still cannot accept Brexit. Off they go down to the “offy” for more Campari and sodas with which to drown their sorrows.

I’ve commented on it long and hard on social media.
The BBC today has become a propaganda machine for whoever controls their main views. It’s particularly “Europhile” and hits out at Brexit at every possible opportunity!

Whenever I am asked why we have never had television in our house in our 40 years of marriage, I have for the last ten years or so responded that I believe the BBC is run by the Department of Lies and Propaganda.
I certainly say this to the few BBC employees that I have met.
I thought I was joking – it seems I was correct.

All the western media are the same at this point. The BBC and CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) have always been leftist mouthpieces — at least for the 35 to 40 years or so that I have paid close attention to them. If you go back towards 50 and more years both the BBC and CBC were known for objective presentation of the news. Lorne Greene of Ponderosa fame was a CBC news presenter at the start of his career. Sometimes one of his broadcasts comes on in historical programs and you can hear objective reporting. And the BBC was known for objective reporting in its early days. Nowadays someone centre of the road and able to see opposing views on issues such as capital punishment, abortion, the EU, world trade, wouldn’t have the slightest chance of getting at job at the BBC and CBC.

As far as the US, in Canada we used to listen to Walter Cronkite present the CBS Evening News. He never ever expressed any view on a news story, even when he reported on John Kennedy’s assassination, and neither did any reporter presenting a news segment. As a teenager, I remember him taking off his glasses and saying into the camera that ‘President Kennedy passed away at 1pm central time’. You could see that he was hugely distressed but he just kept his thoughts to himself. A real professional. That age all ended when CNN (Cable News Network) came along in the 1980s. Listen to CNN now and it’s just a leftist mouthpiece, with all of its presenters endlessly spouting their leftist views. Everything the Republicans do is wrong, and everything the Democrats do is right.

My own view is that the western news media just mirror the growing permissiveness and lack of discipline in the western world. You see it in everything, from the pampering of criminals to the anything-goes conduct & lack of 3Rs in classrooms to acceptance of every type of sexual relationship. A one-way slide, virtually impossible to turn around. The only thing that brought things back towards the centre in the past was a world war, and nobody wants another of those.

I have never considered the Press or Main Stream Media to be Free. It has been suggested that Political Reporters are expected to toe the Government line, and print what they are told to print. This has been especially obvious over the Press and Media’s report of Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq and Russia. Their reports come straight from Foreign Office Press Packs, and are in no way accurate, far less objective. As for the BBC, it is well known that they have received millions from Brussels, to “Promote The European Project.” This does not bother me, since I never watch BBC News or Political Programmes. What does bother me, is that I am forced ‘By Law’ to pay what I consider to be an Anti British Political Levy.

Tom Bradby on ITN is so left-wing biased he makes my blood boil.
