The BBC USED to have a reputation for even handed reporting of world

Now they push their agenda as vigorously as Pravda did in the past

What agenda is that and can you give any examples? I haven't noticed
any in particular. They haven't been supporting the UK gov't for one
in the WMD "evidence" fiasco.


Laurie Forbes


Examples. Just watch it.


As I mentioned, I do. I haven't seen much if anything that could be
described as a far left agenda. You made the claim - please support
it with examples or cites.

I have a friend, an admitted Socialist. He claims that all the
networks are Far Right Wing.

What you see on the telly, is judged by your own political stance. If
you dont see anything askance on a network, when you are Left, then
its not surprising.

This is the problem East and West Coast politicians have. When you
only associate with those that think like you, everyone else appears
to be "out there", no matter if they are the majority or not. Most
folks forget that the majority of America..IE "fly over country" is
conservative for the most part, and the squeeky wheels on the Left
come from Leftist enclaves, so its easy to understand why they think
they are speaking for the people..because they never get out of those
enclaves, and arrogantly think everyone else is just like them.
