"Yes, we are biased on religion and politics, admit BBC executives" More Here....
"Senior figures admitted that the BBC is guilty of promoting Left-wing views and an anti-Christian sentiment.

They also said that as an organisation it was disproportionately over-represented by gays and ethnic minorities.

It was also suggested that the Beeb is guilty of political correctness, the overt promotion of multiculturalism and of being anti-American and against the countryside.

During the meeting, hosted by Sue Lawley, executives admitted they would happily broadcast the image of a Bible being thrown away - but would not do the same for the Koran."

Is this the main source of news and information in England or is it still The Sun? Explains a lot.

It's the media, what else is new?

Link please? I already have one, and I read the ENITRE story which consists of a random bits of quotes from people who have no ax to grind. But a link would allow people to put your 'news' in context.

For example, while the story says 'senior executives' there are only three actual quotes from low level employees.

Here's the best link I could find. Still seems that they are admitting to bias. In this, they are admitting that they're like every other news outlet in the world. I stll enjoy the BBC website, I just know I have to accept that they have a viewpoint they're supporting.

Ruse,
sounds to me like a little more than bit players. A leaked memo?

And here is a list of the BBC's "crimes":

'It (a 'leaked account') reveals that executives would let the Bible be thrown into a dustbin on a TV comedy show, but not the Koran, and that they would broadcast an interview with Osama Bin Laden if given the opportunity. Further, it discloses that the BBC's 'diversity tsar', wants Muslim women newsreaders to be allowed to wear veils when on air.'

You have to wonder when they fail to link or make original sources available - like the 'leaked account'. And if this is the most damning stuff they could cull from the entire account, it's pretty lame. I mean - really. Which broadcaster wouldn't interview bin Laden? it'd be a ratings coup.

"At the secret meeting in London last month, which was hosted by veteran broadcaster Sue Lawley, BBC executives admitted the corporation is dominated by homosexuals and people from ethnic minorities, deliberately promotes multiculturalism, is anti-American, anti-countryside and more sensitive to the feelings of Muslims than Christians."

"The BBC is believed to be taking a more critical look at itself because it fears if it does not, its regulation could be removed from its board of governors and handed over to the independent regulator Ofcom."

Again, it sounds like a little more is going on then if a news anchor can wear a vail..They seem to be addressing "their" problem, and seem aware they have one. And you, the ruse, try to down play it. Like it's made up..They are admitting it, maybe you should to.....Well, it's true.......

The fact that they hire gays and minorites makes the BAAADDD. OOOHHHHhhhh ... And the former empire acknowledges other cultures .... GASP ! UNTHINKABLE!
"They are admiting it" or, some people report they had a meeting, or perhaps three low level people were airing their prejudices ... it's really hard to tell without THE ACTUAL REPORT.

No, the fact that they allow those groups to totally infect British news and information with their bias...is. Sad that you can't see that...Ah, nothing like drinking Koolaid while wearing blinders.......Right, Ruse?

In a secret meeting with FOX executives they admited they were biased:
"Yes we hate everyone except the religious right, and we want them dead, what's wrong with that?" They were quoted to say by some guy.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.
