To those who are saying the BBC can't be biased if both Left and Right are calling it biased... Here you go ⬇️
And just like how the overwhelming majority of the medical community say drinking bleach is bad for your health, the medical community also overwhelmingly said Brexit was bad for our health.
So the fact that the BBC allowed the effect on the NHS to be a 50-50 debate... IS BIAS.
If you know something is bad for the country, but you present the issue as 50-50, that averages out as it being OK for the country. That makes you fake news.
The concept of objective truth is lost on them.

The "I don't see colour/race" lot always remind me of a quote by that great philosopher Rachel Karen Green in response to when Ross says he doesn't think of money as an issue:
"That's because you have it!"
He's arguing that racism still exists mainly because the Right and Left talk about race, and that by not doing so, he's creating a post-racial society.

So by definition, he's aware that if you take yourself out of the discussion, (bury head in sand) racists will still be there.
And what's truly incredible (read: borderline disgusting) is that he repeatedly used Martin Luther King to justify pretending race doesn't exist: ⬇️

Racism in the UK can largely be blamed on the absence of empire in the school curriculum.

If every child knew that Western economic dominance came from the theft, murder, colonisation and enslavement of people in countries 'we' look down on, it would fix a lot.

Adjacent point:
It's simple.
If the only history you ever learn is about our military and industrial triumphs, and the evils of foreign regimes, you're going to become the sort of person who thinks 27 countries need yours more than your country needs 27, and your country owes nobody anything.

Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary says that terrorists are "generally Muslim men"🙄
To be fair he's a victim of a media bias. In America what's the profile of the shooter in almost all indiscriminate mass killings?
Yet the media says radical Islam is the main national security threat.
Go on. Tell me the constant US mass shootings aren't terrorism because it's not always rooted in politics/religion.

They happen due to America's 2nd amendment, a practically ancient text which, despite a legacy that's drenched in blood, is still treated as holy. That's religion.
To clarify, Michael O'Leary was talking about profiling Muslim men at airports and putting them through comparatively more stringent security checks.
Profiling only makes divisions in society worse, strengthening "Us vs Them", making EVERYONE less safe.

The #bbc has had a near total monopoly on TV politics and what has it coughed up for us? Grace Blakeley, Owen Jones, Aaron Bastani, EU supergirl, Femi, Steve Bray and Ash Sarkar. It debases public debate. It adds no value while acting as a bed blocker to anything that might.
Thanks to the #BBC public debate is dominated by cranks because they're cheap, readily available and generate controversy. That's fine for commercial stations but if the BBC has abandoned its obligation to inform and wants to play in the gutter it should not enjoy special status.
#BBC can't complain if the government wants to treat it like a commercial entity when it has decided to compete with commercial stations on their terms. If there's any point to a state broadcaster then it's to take risks private channels cant, preferably by rising above the dross

THE POPE AND THE AXIS OF TERROR

Adam Curtis’ blog entry on the dreamworld we inhabit and the people who created it

(a thread)
2\

I came across British filmmaker Adam Curtis’ bbc blog entry about a month ago. It’s so stinking good I decided it had to be threaded.

I have edited some of the blog for length. By all means, check out the entire entry here.
bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurt…

All the following quotes can be attributed to Curtis, unless otherwise specified.

When quotes are not used, those are solely my thoughts.

PROPAGANDA | THE INSIDE JOB

The most effective form of propaganda is that which delivers a constant meme over decades. The most glaring example is the content emitted over decades by such “news” outlets as the @BBC, @CNN & others working within the western mainstream.

#BBC #CNN
PROPAGANDA | THE INSIDE JOB

Many, perhaps most of those working for the @BBC, @CNN & others within western mainstream “news” outlets are undoubtedly completely unaware at this point of the incessant & ingrained bias within them.

#BBC #CNN @BBCNewsnight @ABC @Channel4News @CNBC
PROPAGANDA | THE INSIDE JOB

The @BBC, @CNN & no doubt every single other western mainstream “news” outlet will claim to be impartial, solely interested in presenting a bias-neutral rendering of the news of the day. This is a totally spurious claim as we will see.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
