shoptildrop Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 7 hours ago, Matt42 said: Have you watched Fox News? This is a problem with American press, Fox News is the most popular news channel in America and every day it airs segments like this. I think British people would be shocked at the quality of news from Fox. This is why I don’t sympathise with many arguments that the BBC is bias. I don’t think people in the U.K. really know what bias news looks like. Where news caters the views of their sponsors, and news anchors get on the show by having their own list of sponsors (sponsoring them). How can you blame people like this existing when cable news looks like this. I think most British people would be shocked at the sight of this. Holy sh*t on that 2nd video!!! it's really gonna kick off in the US isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these anchors are working from home and telling others to go back out on the “front line”. Mouthpieces for corporations who want to mitigate their losses. Packaged in a way that makes it look like they are standing up for their people. I’ve seen Katie Hopkins is doing the same on social media. Telling people to fight to go back to work even though she works at home. Edited April 20, 2020 by Matt42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 BBC is far superior to Fox, but Fox being utter dogshite doesn't mean we shouldn't hold the BBC to higher standards. We don't want to get complacent just because we're not as fucked as the US. Let's be the best we can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see when he will, but I don't expect to see him in front of the cameras answering questions until 7th May. He might do some FB vids though and behind the scenes stuff maybe next week.... he'll keep his head down for as long as possible IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
