Do you trust the media?

Re: Do you trust the media?

I have always considered the BBC a trusted source of news. However, I do not get much news from this source.

I do really like BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge!

YouTube

The BBC may have been a trusted news source worldwide a decade or so ago but has since then adopted a very left wing agenda. My post above indicates that the website "mediabiasfactcheck" is largely untrustworthy and not an indication of how the viewers feel.

Regardless of your personal opinion of the BBC, they have a global reach which very many people have relied upon for decades.

Please provide any source to support your personal opinion that www.mediabiasfact.com is largely untrustworthy and not an indication of how viewers feel.

Your response comes across as "if you do not like the message, shoot the messenger".

A modern version of "shooting the messenger" can be perceived when someone blames the media for presenting bad news about a favored cause, person, organization, etc. "Shooting the messenger" may be a time-honored emotional response to unwanted news, but it is not a very effective method of remaining well-informed."^[6]

Almost 6000 reviews on trustpilot and while we are at it criticism of the BBC wikipedia - its a long read.
From their site they gave the BBC a left of centre the reality is the BBC are very left wing.

Saw that this morning!

Here's a clip of Ms. Thunberg Without a Script to read from, being asked a simple question. Can we expect this during the townhall?

And lets not forget that her mother claims that Greta has the superhuman ability to see the invisible gas Co2 in the atmosphere.

... you missed the point of having Greta Thunberg on the TV show. She is one of the Top 3 Climate Change activists in the world. She will attract a tremendous number of viewers to watch her speak around the world.

The only positive thing about this global pandemic is that it has dramatically reduced the consumption of fossil fuels and given the planet a tiny opportunity to recover.

CNN Posts Fake News About Americans' Willingness To Return to 'Normal Life,' Deletes Tweet

CNN Posts Fake News About Americans' Willingness To Return to 'Normal Life,' Deletes Tweet

Grossman, using the same information that CNN apparently used but did not cite, came to a completely different conclusion when looking at Gallup polling on the coronavirus.
Gallupvaccine.
The polling essentially finds that Americans are weighing many factors as they decide on resuming their normal activities.
CNN cherry-picked the vaccine question and portrayed it as a binary issue for a majority of Americans.
The truth is that fewer than 10 percent of those surveyed by Gallup would base resuming their lives on the development and implementation of a vaccine if there were no government restrictions.

Bet she sees ghosts too. Like most liberals.. no script/teleprompter.. they make less sense than when they do ... which is rarely.

Re Climate change.

Isn't it amazing....

The skies over some major cities have cleared of smog for the first time. Some young children have told their parent that the sky is actually blue not gray.

This year was the first time in many years that Australia didn't have a major cyclone season in the local area.

How much proof do proponents need that fossil fuel climate change is real?

Now tell me that the global climate is not influenced by man-made energy consumption an I'll eat my hat....

I don't need one, its my opinion that is shared by others, since the Brexit vote four years ago the BBC amongst others have tried to undermine, ridicule and generally deceive those that voted for independence. Since then we have had four years of this scaremongering.

The BBC is a subscription service which you have to pay for but the government has recently considered decriminalizing none payment because of their piss poor service.
When the UK Government attacks the BBC's funding because of their biased reporting is a website like mediabias even needed?

haha thats the kind of stupidity that the BBC aspire to be, I bet there's senior management angry that they didn't think of that first.

It's generally because of unbiased reporting that government tries to mess with public broadcasting

US coronavirus curve may be flattening, but estimated death toll keeps rising. What does this mean?

for now. - See, they just can't report good news without throwing in that Fear-mongering, or the "estimates" that have been completely wrong up to this point. "What does this mean?" - It fuckin' means that the curve is flattening, but we're still going to try to scare you by telling you that a couple people "think the ESTIMATES will go up". They don't fucking know! All the models have been WAAAAAY off, and i don't think anyone thinks we can "Rely on them" anymore.
estimate released this week.
See.....Great news!! 100 or less daily deaths by august!! BUT, don't get too excited, rather, let's make you panic as we contradict the good news with some "Grim ESTIMATES".

What a joke!
