If broadcasters still cared about the editorial independence of their employees, then comments like this [aired on Twitter] would not be made by their journalists. For they further reveal what most of the public have come to suspect – that broadcasters presenting themselves as non-partisan in fact hold very clear political views and that these usually veer in a particular direction… Of course, people have always harboured their suspicions, but not until journalists began to freely give away their thoughts on social media was such a smorgasbord of evidence presented…
On one single occasion in recent years has a television presenter let slip a view that did not fall into lockstep with the narrow orthodoxies of the broadcasting class. When Politics Live presenter Andrew Neil sent out one tweet last year mocking the increasingly conspiratorial Observer writer Carole Cadwalladr, he not only deleted the tweet but himself immediately became a news story. There were swift calls for his sacking, and the BBC felt compelled to publicly chastise Neil. As it happens, despite being almost uncontested as the country’s leading political interviewer, Neil no longer has a regular slot on the BBC.
Douglas Murray on broadcasters, Twitter and public trust. One of these.
87% of all media people support socialist left wing parties, that by the way is what the liberals are.
I always assume that any media are “lying sluts and jiggers” to quote a wise friend. Even when they are reporting a fire in your home town, they have to slant the report.
“Balanced reporting” usually means balancing a little truth with a lot of opinion, spin, official narrative, or the last word from zealous opposition.
Unfortunately, conservatives have been allowing socialists and their ilk (most media) to set the narrative. As long as socialists think of it as positive to refer to themselves as ‘progressive’, conservatives should expect that they should be referred to as ‘normal’. It’s past time to take back the narrative so that the next generation is educated rather than indoctrinated.
Born in New York. Maybe he can still be president of the US – after Trump.
They care not that we can hear them.
It is only important that their “peers” of the cliche hear and see them.
We serve only as a foil, a backdrop for their self styled bright and shiny beauty to perform.
Just wait for the next tranche of emails to come out.
Presstitutes agreeing behind the curtain as to best present the narrative, no one will even pretend surprise.
Canada.. where the state propaganda organ is so inept that the dear leader has to bribe the rest of the media to play along.
Funny how well the bureaus chose losers,it is almost as if they have a God Given Affinity.
