BBC Watch: election bias special.

Not sure where exactly to post this so I'll try here

New John Pilger documentary "The Dirty War On The NHS" is not being screened by ITV until after the General Election because of broadcasting rules of bias during a GE campaign.

So my guess is it must make the Tories look bad.

Well the broadcasters have been anything but balanced and unbiased so please can you guys share this on social media: There will be an online viewing of the documentary on Monday Evening.

"For those who cannot get to a cinema, we are organising an Online Cinema Screening on Monday 9 December between 6pm and 10pm. Tickets are £10. If you want to watch the film, click on the link below, buy your ticket, and on Monday you will be sent a link to the film and an access code. You can start watching any time between 6pm and 10pm. (This will only be available to people in the UK.)

"The film is available to rent for private and public screenings before the General Election on 12 December. Please email screenings@dartmouthfilms.com for further information.

https://johnpilger.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=81e01f026144a7a39810a239b&id=80a5799063&e=07cf43a340

John Pilger investigates the long and often secret campaign to dismantle Britain's pioneering National Health Service and privatise it off 'by stealth'.

Designed to give millions of people "freedom from fear", the NHS today is under threat of being sold off and converted to a free market model inspired by America's disastrous health insurance system, which results in the death every year of an estimated 45,000 people.

Now President Trump says the NHS is "on the table" in any future trade deal with America. Filmed in Britain and the United States, this timely, compelling documentary touches us all and reveals what may be the last battle to preserve the most fundamental human right."

Laura K has achieved the impossible and started to rile the centrist blue-tick brigade with this masterpiece.

Quote from: Tory shill
Brass neck's been one of central features of this campaign - Johnson on checks (remember he DID admit back in Oct there'd be extra checks under Brexit deal however much he obfuscates over it now - define check, and define customs declaration), or Corbyn on watching the Queen

Dr Rock

Christ, if you asked me I'd say I sometimes have the Queen's Speech on, it's on in the morning isn't it, because I don't remember the time it's fucking on.

EOLAN

Why does Tory Shill have an apostrophe on Brass Necks?

poodlefaker

It's on Radio 4 in the  morning iirc, which is prob. the root of Corb's confusion.

Jerzy Bondov

I'd say I don't watch it but it's a disgrace they've stopped Christmas Day Doctor Who. Labour will fund a full 13 episode series PLUS a Christmas special EVERY YEAR and it will be illegal for it to be FUCKING SHITE like it is now

holyzombiejesus

Quote@ProfTimBale

Wow! "The Tories' top two themes – Brexit and taxation – have received 24.5% of the coverage overall and 29.8% on broadcast TV. By contrast, Labour's top two issues – health and the environment – have been featured in only 14.1% of all the coverage and 13.4% of the TV coverage

Thank you. I bow to Tory Shill's superior language skills. Although from now on I will become the Grammar Khmer Rouge rather than the more popular and common Grammar Nazi.

Maybe MPs get a special broadcast?!?

thenoise

Maybe he gets really really pissed on Xmas eve, sleeps in til noon, and following a few hours chundering, listens to the Queens speech over a lazy 'breakfast'?

buttgammon

Most of my family are big fans of the royals and I've never known any of them ever watch the Queen's Speech. People who give a fuck about that were never going to vote Labour anyway.

Quote"I am certainly looking at it... how long can you justify a system whereby everybody who has a TV has to pay to fund a particular set of channels?"

Boris Johnson is asked whether he would abolish the BBC licence fee, during a Q&A in Tyne and Wear

All that arse kissing for nothing...

Paul Calf

The ones doing the arse kissing have lucrative careers elsewhere planned. They know what the score is.

The BBC hasn't become a Tory mouthpiece because they think it'll save it. It's become a Tory mouthpiece as part of the plan to destroy it. Once it's irredeemably poisoned in the eyes of the left, there will be next to zero opposition in pulling the plug.

The Queen's Speech was on Radio 4 in the morning during the 1980s and 1990s but they seem to have stopped doing that about 20 years ago. Typical Corbyn, living in the past.

He actually said that he watches them 'in mourning', because he's still sad about Diana and Queen Mom and that lot.

The Queen's Speech is the worst series Michael Apted has ever done.

Laura K: "Not entirely clear what happened; but Tory sources are telling me that Labour want to steal your money and house and set it on fire with your mother inside it and invite the Russians to test their nuclear weapons on us."

Any other situation/person and that would be serious public apology/resignation territory.
