Dunners wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 5:50 pm The BBC isn't 'left wing'. It's ' socially liberal'. Stop confusing those two concepts. I understand why people do it, but the two are entirely separate political positions. Extreme liberalism (let's call it wokeness) is increasingly adopted by people who like to think of themselves as 'left', but would sh*t their pants should they ever be confronted with genuine left economic policies. It's easier to argue over the minutiae of niche sensitivities and micro-aggressions than confront their own privileged middle-class backgrounds.

Sure, you can be a left-wing liberal, but that is not a position held by the BBC. It is a pro-establishment, socially liberal institution. It praises at the alter of Saint Greta whilst also kissing the arse of the Queen. The Guardian is similar, but slightly less pro-establishment. And The Mirror is even more irrelevant.

The mainstream media (including the so-called left-wing papers and BBC) is overwhelming biased towards the economic right. The only split is whether they are socially right or left. What isn't represented is economic left/socially right. And yet that's the constituency that the Tories tapped into to win their majority, and which Labour continues to ignore (or be terrified of).

The way of the media in todays world is to create and spread negativety from whatever angle they can. We all know the corona virus has been devastating for the world and it's hard to report any good news. They seem to thrive on everything bad and repeat the same headlines 24/7 whatever the subject. If they come accross anything thats good they will dig and in some cases create a negative whether thats against a person, organisation, government or anything accross the world.
For the past month or so i have been avoiding reading newspapers or watching tv news as they have a way of controlling society and i found it all really depressing.
I am not expressing any political favour because whatever party was in power if they were centre, left or right leaning the media would make it thier priority to attack them at every opportunity which creates division in society.

Sounds like youre the only one offended by a few people kneeling for a few seconds. Bizarre.

Well it would appear that the commentators on Sky last night were offended because there was no kneeling. That's bizarre.
