of course the BBC needs to sell itself, the people are starting to rebel against taxes being used to fund it because its so not a news place anymore

if anything that should give them even more reason to be as unbiased as possible

and stick to the facts as much as possible (which to be fair I think they do most of the time)

is ti weird that the same people who go around smashing windows, attacking people, and starting fires are the same people who advocate safe spaces?

i imagine those kinda people dont really care about any cause.. and just want to set the world on fire and watch it burn

specially if the rest of the group likes to wear masks and all wear the same black clothing

great excuse to get away with some teenage smashing stuff

@wacka since when has anything bias ever taken to moving towards unbias when being called out? they usually double down.

@Timcast maybe they are trying to create greater demand for them because they realize no one really wants their safe spaces?

Im not sure about that... the BBC has been called bias ...pretty much since its inception

i mean, its state owned news. how can it not be bias?

at least a little

well its complicated but its seperate from the people in power... its not under parliaments mandate... like the bank of england

but yeah ... Im sure GCHQ sometimes has a word... it would not surprise me

@Timcast

They want safe spaces, for THEM, not the "out" group, aka
"We want to be able to beat people and destroy others stuff, but have our stuff protected by authority"

if its funded by taxes, then its under control of whoever controls the taxes. and who controls the taxes?

government, and government will cater to anyone what offers them a vote

its a rackety

racket

smash and destroy

then scream that they need safe spaces and use themselves as proof

yeah but its different in the UK .. even though one party is "in control" .. the government is also made up of the opposition

they are technically correct about right wing speech inciting violence... their violence

right wing speakers incite the far left to violence

Extremism 101, if you're not with us, you're against us

anyone going to be watching #Farmlands when its out? Im a bit sceptical of LS

@wacka which means both sides can use the threat of removing funding as leverage. and even the opposition is still government. It may work hard, or once worked hard, to limit its bias, but its still under control of a relatively small amount of people who may not even make up its "customers"

@Timcast Its part of a theme with the extremist left. Beating you over the head while crying out you are attacking them.

The extreme/far left doesn't exactly understand what they want themselves though,

They want to punch nazi's, and have safe spaces
They want to take guns away from people and have only the government have guns, the same government they find fascist/tyrannical
They want the rich people to pay everything, most of them are rich/middle class and don't want to chip in their own money

some mentally unstable people do the same: they attack you and when you defend yourself, they start playing the victim

they don't just "play" victim, they see themselves as a genuine victim

yes

well put

i didnt hear much about this student march which apprently affected 40 states, students walking out of schools in protest

because when they attack someone, they see it as "fighting tyranny"
when they get a response, its the "tyranny oppressing them"

I didn't hear anything about a student march at all, cuz i'm not from the states

something about protecting the 2nd amendment (so Im not surprised it wasnt covered much)

all i hear about America over here is how Trump is a naisie

yeah the twitter and some media went into a bit of meltdown when they announced he was coming here in july

you expect the msm to give a 2nd amendment march airtime like they do gun control?

that would break the narrative that all young people support gun control!
