Brexit Party

[Pertensio]

“The BBC that’s afraid to publish any criticism of Brexit”. Really?
Like this article for instance? “Ffs”

On Monday 18th Feb., Honda announced that it was closing its Swindon plant with the loss of up to 3,500 British jobs, the full reasons for which would be explained later. Without waiting for that explanation, the BBC decided that the whole thing was due to Brexit despite the vice president of Honda Europe saying: “This is not a Brexit-related issue.” It’s web article even referenced Sky News, a rival organisation, to point the finger at Brexit and included a link to a story about Nissan worded “Nissan ALSO cited Brexit”

Between September 2002 and June 2015, News-watch monitored Radio 4's Today programme for 324 weeks, amounting to 1,944 editions. There were 232 hours of EU-related feature coverage, and 5,113 guest speakers contributed to the EU debate.
"174 speakers (3.4%) were identifiable advocates of withdrawal. Of this group, only five speakers (0.1% of the total EU contributors) were left-wing advocates of Brexit." Despite some four million Labour supportsvoting leave.

Newsbeat is BBC Radio 1's flagship news programme aimed at a young audience. The News-watch survey, of the ten weeks of the campaign, showed there was a failure to meet the strict 'broad balance' requirement. There were 1.5 times more Remain than Leave supporters. (Might explain why many younger people voted remain)

BBC2's Newsnight broadcast on 23 January 2013, the day David Cameron announced an in/out referendum on our membership of the EU. The BBC Trust argued that the announcement was not a 'decisive moment' in the EU debate, and therefore the imbalance of 18 pro-EU speakers to one withdrawalist was acceptable

The Institute of Economic Affairs research on the BBC’s Question Time Brexit bias has found the programme is heavily weighted towards Remain. The IEA’s research found that 69% of guests in the 18 months after the Brexit referendum had supported the Remain campaign

Between 2017 and 2019, Question Time has featured 303 Remainers and 152 Leavers, a bias of almost exactly two to one.
BBC radio’s own “Feedback” programme was inundated with complaints that The News Quiz was totally filled with panelists to “Lampoon” Brexit voters. When was the last time there was a joke against remainers heard on Mock the Week or any comedy or light entertainment programme?

This might give a little explanation:
A spokesman for BBC Media action told Express.co.uk: “In the financial year 2017-18, BBC Media Action received approximately £3.1million from the European Commission.

In 2015, the Daily Telegraph reported that BBC Media Action received £9.3million between 2011 and 2014, much of it to deliver the EU's "European Neighbourhood Policy".
According to the publication, EU officials described the sum as a "broad political strategy", designed to strengthen the "prosperity, stability and security of Europe's neighbourhood in order to avoid any dividing lines between the enlarged EU and its direct neighbours".

When was the last time you voted for the President of the EU commission or the President of the EU council? The bodies that actually decide and make EU law with MEPs only able to question them and make “suggestions”. MEPs don’t even have an input in deciding the candidates short list that they vote on for those two influential positions.

How much does LBC Radio get? 

Whilst we are on the subject of funding I’m looking forward to seeing what the publicly funded ERG research entails.

 Well done for conveniently ignoring all the stuff on the BBC. 

I answered the point you made about the BBC, but to add the BBC are also beholden to this dysfunctional, fucktwit government we currently have too and they seem hell bent on a dead ard Brexit, so forgive me for thinking your argument is flawed. As for LBC crikey as Chris Leptowski (spelling) said you are (very) wide of the mark. 

Awaits a TV channel, whose news reports blare out the screen with air raid sirens, presenters in military attire with the slogan Taking Back Control in the background. No one under the age 0f 45 need apply for jobs with them. 

Re your answer on the BBC, you simplify said that both extremes believed they were agen um. You have not addressed the evidence that they are constantly anti Brexit. If anyone’s argument is flawed it’s the one of us who ignores empirical evidence.
Still, expect you will be happier with a U.K. version of TASS or better still, PRAVDA. it’ll come sone enough in your beloved Soviet Republic of Europe.   See, you are not the only one who can resort to Reductio ad Absudrum. 
As for LBC, I give you James O’Brien. Who constantly rails against Brexit. He has even compared Amber Rudd to Hitler. Seems to be a common practice for lefties to smear anyone to the right of their beliefs as Nazies.

Did a bit of research...

What is BBC Media Action ?

"BBC Media Action is independent from the BBC - it is an international development charity set up by the BBC. In 2017-18 it received about £3.1m from the EU, which was just under 9% of its funding.
Its two biggest individual donors were the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Department for International Development."

The Express wouldn't be deliberately trying to mislead would they?
