Selective reporting.

 

Both have said both good and bad, report all the distasteful stuff from one, all the palatable stuff from the other and while you have only reported things which were actually said, you have also conspired to paint a very distorted picture.

 

They done it with pro's and con's of remain vs leave as well.

 

Biased Broadcasting Corporation

 

:congrats:

 

100% correct.

 

I have listened to BBC radio, mostly radio 4, but some radio 2, every working day, all day for 25 years and have been a huge fan.

 

They have been unbelievably bias in their reporting and comment on the referendum, both pre and post.

 

And in the US election.

 

They have become a HUGE disappointment to me

It was interesting that even after the results have been made public the media still is shocked and bewildered that a Trump/Pence ticket has won not only but carried over 2/3rds of the states and won the popular vote as well. The latter does not matter so much since it's just a great one two punch.

150 to 1 odds for trump to win at the start of the campaign. That would have been nice.

The BBC have simply reported observed facts, ie the speeches that Trump has given. The fact he publicly denounces the existence of climate change and reportedly intends to subvert the Paris climate agreement, the impact of these moves will be felt globally and for many subsequent generations.

 

It matters not, whether the BBC are seen as being balanced. They are simply the method by which it was reported what this unpredictable menace has said.

 

The post election BBC reporting is even more biased than before - if that's possible.

 

They seem to be totally focussed on the (perceived) negative effect of the outcome, and interviewing all the mealy mouthed whiners they can find.

 

It would be difficult to justify 'balance' under these circumstances - they seem to be actively seeking the moaners, naysayers and doom merchants who must, by definition, be the minority of the population.

 

It's a time for celebration and looking forward to a new beginning - draining the swamp would be a good place to start.

 

BBC credibility as an independent and balanced media source is in tatters in my view.

It'll be interesting to see whether Trump's administration can maintain any objectivity, IMO.

 

Trump is a 911 truther folks.

 

 

Will Hillary flee to Saudi Arabia for asylum?

I see no issue with the BBC coverage of the election campaign. Fair enough, Hillary was a poor candidate, but Trump is a lunatic. He can only be described as a sociopathic, misogynistic, arrogant, ill informed, lying, cowardly moron. He has exposed America as being a country where prejudice, hatred and ignorance are not only accepted on the public stage, but are celebrated. The level of national stupidity required to elect Trump dwarfs that required to vote for Brexit.

 

I'm shocked and saddened. I have friends in the US and they are heartbroken. I can't see any iteration of a Trump presidency that doesn't end in disaster. The man is a disgrace.

[jomoco]

Are you saying there's no justification for an antiestablishment backlash?

 

America right or wrong, deadly wrong?

 

Exactly how do you protect and defend the US constitution without protectin n defendin the very people it was written to benefit?

 

As long as the document's safe, ef the people, eh?

 

Hopefully fascism's been narrowly avoided here.

Hehe what were the chances of you saying that

 

There are plenty who have a pretty low opinion of you, but hey thats life

 

Apparently 50% of Americans are earning the same today as they did 17 years ago, can you really blame them for not voting for more of the same ???

 

I voted for brexit and have no regrets, I just wish they would get on with it!!!

Didn't see that coming J. You are on the hard left; pretty standard Lefty-Liberal-Pseudo-Progressive social-media-esque response.

 

Much the same extreme assessment was given to Ronald Reagan...
