The BBC is biased, now confirmed by a number of sources, see mainly;

Indeed it is amazing that Top Gear is even run by the BBC, but of course it does need its token shows to keep the masses happy so people such as yourself can turn around and say 'how on earth could the BBC be a politically correct left wing organisation when it allows Top Gear to run?' - very much like the Tory Party needs itself to have a few token eurosceptics in order to convince conservative-minded people that its a conservative party. I've heard in the past also that Top Gear also is one of the only BBC shows which makes a profit, so a pretty useful show. I mean if the BBC wants to be biased as it is then thats fine by me, but don't impose a tax on the public in order to fund it. Time for the BBC to compete in the real world and be privatised/broken up.

But of course, this is all another issue.

You got a point there. JC is very right-wing, I love it when he talks about politics because it all makes sense to me lol.

Anyway, I'm not surprised really, as you said the BBC need a few token shows to try and make it seem unbiased, and this is ideal because of JC's views - he makes it seem "balanced" as it were.

I can agree to disagree with you on certain subjects but this is not one of them, you're just plain wrong.

I'm not going to comment on bias because we've had this argument several times and as I have said the BBC always balances out Political panel shows with opposing parties and actually considering how irrelevant parties like UKIP are in non election times (since they do not have MP's, quite wrongly may I add) they are represented quite well in my opinion.

The BBC. British Broadcasting Corporation. You talk about how great Britain is and yet you want to cut the BBC? It's the largest broadcasting corporation in the world, just think about that for a minute and then think about what you are saying. The BBC is quite possibly the most internationally renowned and respected media company in the world and you want to cut it? Just think about how much revenue it generates in the UK through investment, tourism and the like. Programs like Doctor Who and Little Britain are popular not just in Britain but worldwide which is why the BBC generates £0.8 Billion a year from its commercial arm. Sure the BBC is funded by the taxpayer but no one has to purchase a TV licence do they? The reason the TV Licence is so cheap is purely because, unlike if it were private, it doesn't need to make a profit. You privatise it and costs to the end user increase and the consumer base shrinks. Talk about making it profitable through advertising, not about privatising it. But you know what? I think you like it nationalised, it gives you and your UKIP cronies something to whine about. I've had enough. Please for the love of god just shut the **** up.

Who cares about them being biased when you don't have to watch adverts?

I don't.

Me, because then the ridiculous amount of people who watch the BBC on a regular basis...whatever the percentage is (I'd estimate probably 70%+ of the adult population) are being influenced by their scam. I'd be happier with a right-wing TV company with adverts than a left-wing one without. It's not the fact that it's left wing though. It's the fact they lie about it and hide behind the pretence of being "mutual". They're not, and it's completely immoral to lie to the public when trying to gain whatever they seek to gain, I don't know what that would be. Recognition for the top dog's favourite party? Who knows, who cares. I just want them to admit they're left-wing ;l

But I'd argue it's just not true. It all depends on your own political viewpoint, if you believe that the 3 main political parties are all left wing then of course you're going to believe the BBC has a left wing bias because it's mandate is to provide content to the 90% of people who voted for those 3 main parties. The vast majority of BBC programs have no political content at all. The only ones that do are the News and Political programs such as Question Time and Daily Politics. Now the News is...well...the News, not much goes on there. They report whats going on which is what people are most interested in which is OBVIOUSLY going to be disproportionately about the Government, the cuts etc. Now for political programs such as the 2 mentioned ones, they are driven by the politicians themselves. I mean I've seen Dan post videos of Farage on panel shows many many times. So please if I am so misinformed, name some programs which are bias?

The News mainly. I never, EVER saw once during Labour's catastrophic reign of finanical horror the news mention ONCE..."horrendous debt" or "Government loans spiralling out of control". And considering I watch the news every day, and have done since I had the capacity to listen and understand it properly, I I'd have noticed if they did. But now EVERYTHING is about the cuts in some way.

I believe Labour are left wing, Lib dems slightly left wing but pretty much central, and Conservative right wing, all be it Labour & Conservative only mildly compared to previous eras. However, from how I have seen reports change in the last year during the transition from Labour to Conservative/Lib Dem, I've also seen a change of emphasis in the news from the Government doing well, and everything is fine and dandy, to the Government making "disastrous cuts" or "ruining the economy"...

The panel shows are often fair, although the one with Nick Griffin was heavily weighted against him - not that I support him in any way, but it was very unfair on him.

But I think just in general the shows, most except Top Gear, have a left-wing edge on them.

LOL. It has had a viral effect around the world and the citizens of Mexico are not so enamoured with GB now but it will all blow over. Clarkson is good at what he does although I don't think he uses a car to get to work he just rides his ego.

When I'm watching TV shows like EastEnders, Top Gear, Come Fly with me etc etc. I don't start thinking about the BBC so called "scam" and them being biased, I enjoy their content because they produce some of the best TV shows on a yearly basis.

Maybe I'm the only one who actually just watches their TV and don't think about politics all the time.
