Quite an old bit of pasta, but lets go through them.
The Kuennsberg stuff on social media with her shooting from the hip before establishing the facts was bad and she should have been censured.
The “deserved majority” - she was describing the conservatives positioning of their strategy from their point of view. Clearly mispoke.
The remembrance stuff was a cockup where at 5am someone grabbed a clip from the CMS that had been used the day before for the preview and was sitting in ‘recently use’. You don’t include Tim Farron and David Cameron in the clip if you are trying to be sneaky
The laughter edit was wrong.
The Question Time audience issue consists of someone on Twitter alledging the the audience was deliberately stacked to be pro Brexit. I can’t find any other coverage alleging that - can you? and if it was this programme, it wasn’t just about Brexit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50722313#
Question Time and Fiona Bruce claiming Leave was cleared of wrongdoing - Fiona Bruce shouldn’t be presenting the programme, in my opinion.
The story does actually say who is doing the lying though I agree, having it buried in the second half isn’t great. Note the update though, saying that a small proportion of Labour’s ads (7%) were untruthful.
The Jeremy Corbyn hat thing is just laughable.
I know you say that you’ve never looked back, but this pasta basically selects all the cockups that occurred on one side to try and paint a picture of instututional bias in news reporting.
You look at the political coverage of the Johnson unravelling, Truss or Sunak and the BBC are giving the government a well-deserved pummelling.
Here’s a more recent example. The bias at the BBC is palpable. These are not the actions of a public broadcaster. They do however look like what a state broadcaster would say.
That’s some amazingly heavily edited footage there. It’s worth seeking out the unedited version if you want to make the accusations of bias.
So firstly, as you’ll know - the BBC has come under a lot of political attack for refusing to call Hamas terrorists - and still don’t. Theres’s good evidence that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza - and the BBC has covered that.
But genocide is the deliberate attempt to wipe out an entire people and that’s a word that the BBC would argue - like ‘terrorist’ has to be used carefully. It does not simply mean a wilful disregard for civilian lives.
Interestingly enough, the biggest cockup in the BBC’s coverage during this was, was the misreporting of the explosion at the Gaza hospital as being due up an Israeli missike strike that flattened it.
This was jumped on by critics of the BBC as a flagrant example of anti-Israel bias.
Bottom line, the BBC is imperfect, but tries to report impartiality. People with strong opinions dislike impartial reporting.
