Brexit is another thing to add to the list of BBC bias

So the Democratic Unionist Party, slow learners in the public relations forum, have woken to the notion that the BBC might be somewhat biased.

Well Hello. Anyone with an ounce of intellect must have gleaned that this organisation, well subsidized by a compulsory licence fee, has attained a supremacy in supplying news more in keeping with a one party state.

Even the most benign listener can not fail to be aware of the BBC’s prejudices, such as an incessant pro European spiel, pro mass immigration, scornful Christian belief and an unremitting anti Trump tirade.

With its massive resources from the public purse the organisation has a responsibility to present impartial news free from its own agenda.

As if confirmation was required in 2006 respected BBC presenter Andrew Marr stated: ‘The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It is a publicly funded urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people. It has a liberal bias, not so much a political bias, its better expressed as a cultural liberal bias.’

Well Andrew with the arrival of Brexit you can now add political bias to your list and I suggest it is not a healthy development when one organisation can wield so much cultural power.
