BBC news have been on strike today.I had a look earlier and they were still broadcasting programmes,just different presenters (strikebreakers presumably).

[BazaJT]

Shows how much attention I pay to the telly,I'd not noticed this at all!

[Lizzie_Zoom]

Yes, but honestly I haven't missed them!  Nowadays you can get news coverage everywhere.

[albitz]

Yes, but honestly I haven't missed them!  Nowadays you can get news coverage  with or without their left wing bias everywhere.

Fixed.

Or non union members, Albs. Thought you'd like that idea.

[albitz]

Strikebreaking non union members. ......I do like the idea,in the circumstances* they are striking in.

* we wont accept any carriages being uncoupled from the gravy train.

The BBC shouldn't be funded by a tax, which is why I don't pay it!  Also, they break their contract with the public everyday by not reporting news in a fair, impartial and politically unbiased way.

Your not the only one, I don't pay TV tax to a load of Marxists, who views I don't want to know. I'm now feel much better with no TV.

there a lot less biased than some outer chanels i could mention so it evans it up dosent it

[feeutfo]

An opportunity for creative militancy for those that can't help themselves...?

The BBC is legendary IMO, and long may it continue. A clear out has been needed for a while. News night for example, the biggest fe@k up in BBC history for a long while, and yet, the programme is not broadcast due to strike action.

Stuff em. Sack the lot of em in front if their family's. ...incompetence and a union membership card is no qualification or right to a job.

No. It's not a case of comparing of 'evening  things up'. If those other channels are funded by private revenue they can broadcast whatever opinions or political bias they want, subject to regulation and audience interest of course. The BBC is funded by the public, and therefore should be completely impartial.

There's no comparison to be made with other channels. You don't know what my opinion is so you can't say whether it's the same as mine or not.
