  • In this clip from their longer #NCFCounterCulture discussion*, Charles Moore (former editor of The Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph & Spectator) and Rafe Heydel-Mankoo (historian & broadcaster) higlight some key failings of the BBC: (*FULL EPISODE: • Is BBC Bias Getting Wo... )
    * By trying to appeal to the young (who are not watching) the BBC is antagonising its main audience
    * BBC's output is therefore not only biased but off-putting -- leading many people to turn off
    * Aggressive interviewing with constant interruptions has become the norm on the BBC, where reporters seem to be focussed on "gotcha" moments where they can catch politicians in a lie.
    * Channels such as the New Culture Forum Channel provide a forum for calm and reasoned discussion, where participants are free to explain and expland on their thoughts in a much more fruitful and enlightening way.
    * The whole nation enjoyed BBC programmes when the political views of its celebrities were unknown. Social media has changed this.

    *Won't see this on BBC*
    On 9 June 2020 the UK
    parliament held a minute’s silence to honour an American career criminal.
    Amongst many other crimes, during a robbery he held a gun against the stomach of a pregnant black women.
    To put this in perspective:
    The UK parliament have never held a minute’s silence for any UK service personnel killed in action.
    They have never held a
    minute’s silence for any UK Police Officer murdered on duty
    They have never held a
    minute’s silence for the death of one of our Covid-19 heroes
    They have never held a
    minute’s silence for a murdered victim of domestic abuse.

    Excellent discussion. I've certainly lost all trust in the BBC as a source of fair and unbiased news. Perhaps I have a distorted memory of there having been something rather special, a golden age even of sincere and dependable journalism with a team that cherished the highest standards of reporting and truthful analysis of the news. At the moment, I cannot watch any of the main media broadcasters. ITV seems to relish its own miserable, cynical and unbearably condescending team, headed by the worst journalist of them all Robert Peston. Channel four news is wall to wall negativity and still smarting under the realisation that it was unable to bring down the Conservatives, and probably, because of its profoundly biased reporting, happily handed a massive electoral majority to their arch enemy. As for programmes like" Good Morning Britain.........? "Words cannot describe the appalling standard of Piers Morgan led and styled ranting and raving. It should be renamed "God Help Britain!"

    The BBC presenters mistake infamy with fame and think they are liked by the public when they are in fact despised for their utterly biased views. They no longer present programmes in a balanced manner, by constantly letting the viewers know their personal views. As they are supposed to be similar to a referee and control the discussion they must be neutral! The BBC is the national broadcaster for the whole of the country. Not the mouthpiece of one side of the political divide. On failing to uphold its neutrality it no longer deserves the privileged position it has with the licence fee funding and should be forced into the commercial sector where it has to justify its funding to advertisers!

    Yes I think in this extract from the full episode, the participants have hit the nail on the head, too much "me, me" from presenters and too little sticking to the news and hard facts. I have never been bothered by the TV Licence Fee but it does become totally up for grabs when you can no longer rely on the BBC as the "Gold Standard" in truthful reporting. It amazes me to think just how stupid and disconnected from reality the people who run the BBC must be when they fail to realise that their news output can be and is viewed by the public as little better than the most ranting fool on UA-cam. There is another major downside to this which is when people "switch off" from the mainstream media they then gravitate to channels of information which may well be as bad, that reflect their views or at least, reflects views that they feel comfortable with, this in turn leads to even greater division and polorization of society.

From there, little things on other subjects started to add up, and my mistrust and disappointment only grew bigger. But the nails in the coffin were Brexit, Obama, Trump, climate, racial matters, political correctness and debates...and now its bias is so unashamed and coarse that I can't watch it anymore.

They were too stupid, as many are nowadays, to think they are too important and don't need to think of all their fan's likes and dislikes. Every potential star has only, in reality, a small percentage of people who like them. To go political is to reduce that figure by a considerable amount. As happened to them! If a program, like "Have I got News for you" shows its bias, as it did with Brexit, then I don't want to watch something that greatly disagrees with me!

    I don't listen to the Today programme any longer, since John Humphrys retired (or was he pushed?), nor Newsnight, really since Paxman left. When Andrew Neil goes that'll be the end of the 'Devil's Advocate' interview, a technique that seems beyond the likes of Emily Maitlis, who really is nothing but a bit of a showoff; it's all about her.

      Where’s the next Fred Dibnah? Someone ordinary who can be admired for the sprinkling of gold they add to being down to earth, and hence make themselves stand out. Guy Martin has a good crack, but Fred Dibnah was in a league of his own because his programmes never felt forced. It wouldn’t even be a difficult recruitment process because UA-cam and the like provide the place to search for people with something to offer up in an informative and interesting manner, but it seems laziness has crept into us all a little, us for being captivated by our latest fad and the broadcasters for not being able to track and tap into it.

    why can't we have some sort of middle ground, I mean I used to believe in feminism and the equal rights of legitimate minorities in our country and climate change is going out of control but the far left only wants us to focus on the minor details with meaningless solutions. But now I can't support these things because the people who currently represent everything good in the world also want to remove our freedom and human rights.....But then the other side, the far right, we have the weird denial of human caused climate change and the strange claim that women have never been oppressed....I'll let all the women chained up in basements know, they will be so happy to hear that their suffering doesn't exist. They can look forward to the day that the far left stands up and saves them....unless of course your captors have a certain heritage and nationality that we can't mention....then your imprisonment is a cultural misunderstanding if they even admit your captivity at all. But all is not lost ladies, soon they will have over 2,000 genders for you to remember and a nice jail cell waiting if you fail to remember them all. Whilst being raped and tortured and called a infidel the whole time, it must be soul crushing when all the people that try to save you get called racists and arrested. The worst part is that no matter which side is in control, the same people will still be sitting on the highest thrones, because both sides are the same deep down.

    • @ladyflibblesworth7282
      @ladyflibblesworth7282 4 роки тому

      @Kevin Burrow I agree, but given how when faced with two choices, people do tend to join the side that is most likely to eliminate something they don't like. The far right has every chance of growing as long as the far left continues as it is.

    • @ladyflibblesworth7282
      @ladyflibblesworth7282 4 роки тому

      @Kevin Burrow hmm, well I guess your right, I was just thinking of all the groups that oppose things like the EU, or support Trump....They also seem to deny climate change, which is crazy given how the climate is in a state of feedback collapse, and it frustrates me how neither side is willing to face the enormity of the problem. Studied science a little while back and that when I realized how screwed we are and how science has become biased....They wanted us to sign a document that prohibited the opposition or criticism of all published scientific works, and they would't say in black and white how bad it is, but they gave us the data and showed us how to do the math, but every time we calculated how quickly things got bad, it never took less than 50-100 years for total destruction of habitable environments. When the earth heated up before, it was over 1000x slower than this time, and still we had several mass extinctions as a result, but do it faster and you get feedback catastrophe. Like Stephen hawking said, we will be lucky if earth doesn't end up like Venus.

    • @ladyflibblesworth7282
      @ladyflibblesworth7282 4 роки тому

      @Kevin Burrow I hope your right :) but it finally looks like the left is getting rejected, the media is starting to move away from it in some areas. Of course they have doubled down in other areas, milking police brutality and using the death of that man as an excuse to reignite the history deletion and book burning.....I don't see a lot of difference between the two tbh. The far left do have an awful recurring habit of acting like nazis. But my main thought is that both sides are bad, the right might be small but it doesn't mean they're not a threat in waiting, especially when the right is used by us to beat the left. I hate the fake reality both sides have been painting and both pictures look oppressive and scary. My overall resentment comes from the assumption that I believe one or the other because they both use the truth as a weapon whilst wearing armor made of lies and all whilst holding a shield made of censorship and propaganda.......I hate what I have become :) I was just enjoying being able to learn facts instead of having to dig through mountains of crap to get to the truth about absolutely anything and everything

    Sky, Fox etc, yes it does make you feel as if you're living in an alternate universe. I feel like that with most TV and culture in general. Films are all about sex (probably because most Hollywood producers aren't getting what they desire) and death. I know that they are the great themes of literature but my word, the way they are executed in modern, mass-consumption media makes me feel like i'm Mary Whitehouse (masturbation scenes have been the in thing for a while now). I digress, we are experiencing an arc of existence that seems to be converging on the lowest common denominators of us as a species. I posit that this is a philosophical result of the capitalist system, everything is streamlined, marketed, packaged, simplified and ultimately we're experiencing the death of imagination and creativity, along with the birth of a vanilla-flavoured world run by corporations. Anyone who doesn't think that the leaders and financiers of the world aren't in cahoots and don't have a global plan is naive at the least.
