People tend to find out the opinions that chime with their's, there's little influencing as such. That also applies to media as a whole, where it's as much how clearly you speak to what someone already believes, as what's said.Problem is both sites influence people and can potentially set in stone their beliefs for life
BBC pretty regularly comes out as least biased news source. That doesn't mean it's without bias, everything is. Objectivity is a mythic construct.That doesnt mean anything. Several tory landowners and media tycoons, all prominent brexiteers, all received large hand outs from the EU.
The current BBC chairman is a tory donor
That's your bias showing .. the BBC received around 10% of its budget from the European Union around 17/18
Correct, they need some police brutality.
If anything, they will just be stirring the pot.
Or to put it another way it received 90% of it's funding from non-EU (mainly govt) sources.
So they've got 9/10 reasons to tow the govt line and 1/10 reasons to push the EU agenda.
Do you think the BBC covered the lack of a report into institutional racism in the Tories anywhere near as much as they covered Labour's anti-Semitism? How often was Johnson asked to apologise for the Islamophobia in his party? Labour produce a report saying there were problems and it was "this is terrible - they're racist". Tories (eventually) produce a report whitewashing theirs and it's "nothing to see here" and move on. No questioning into how every single report absolves themselves of any blame.
Check out the Chairman - he leans about as right as you can without falling over, He effectively wants the thing privatised and thus having to follow whatever the biggest donors say. The Tories are trying to turn the BBC into a state propaganda machine with thinly veiled threats - do as we say or you get no funding.

No longer can people just be a twat,

My original post was basically the media show bias ..you've just said it yourself
Doesn't Farage hold the Question Time appearance record?The impartial BBC mate , come on have a word
Balancing on the basis of whether panellists voted for Remain or Leave, both programmes favour Remain by about 68% to 32%
Doesn't Farage hold the Question Time appearance record?
Doesn't Farage hold the Question Time appearance record?
Edit: Highest average since first appearance.
Anyway enough of the meltdowns here , there's likely going to be a big one in 5 minutes on the general forum
To be fair , most will be happy with that 11I'm intentionally not replying to save myself for the match thread.

The argument is more, how much should a media be ethically

You manage it
Yeah but that's not because I'm right or left, just a bog standard bellend.
He does. David Dimbleby on his last ever question time also corrected David Davies when Davies also tried to claim that QT and therefore the BBC was biased to remainers. Dimbleby pointing out that there’d been far more leavers than remainers.Doesn't Farage hold the Question Time appearance record?
Edit: Highest average since first appearance.
The thing with QT was it underwent a big shift at some stage .Not sure but there are more guests than him at any given time
The thing with QT was it underwent a big shift at some stage .
While initially it was for politicians ,then politicians and maybe journalist's ,then to general business leaders in Field ,then to think tank rep's ,then to extremes , I'm just surprised I don't think I saw Bannon on there .
Kind of influencers rather than the heat on politician's from the floor, obviously you'd expect a few activist's among them to exploit the opportunity of some focus of their choice ,but it hadn't or hasn't been an organic show for eons .
Don't know if that shift was purely down to a series of editors , presenter input or whatever.
Head of BBC politics was a Tory appointee and the Booker for the QT audience was outed as a far right Britain First nutter who goes around seeking out Facebook lunatics to stick in there (Is BBC Question Time’s audience producer really a fascist?). But it’s OK cos I saw Eddie Izzard on there once so it’s lefty nonsense.
Haha one of the tweets suggests if the woman on the left is on the right Lol , persuasion or position?
