loyal-blue Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The gleeful reaction from the no side to the news, followed by almost instantly being shown to be wrong was rather amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The gleeful reaction from the no side to the news, followed by almost instantly being shown to be wrong was rather amusing. I actually think every negative from NO helps YES nudge a wee bit closer to victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 You mean like on the hated Unionist lapdog BBC? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-28311938 Haven't read through the usual stuff today, only noticed the BBC had it up after I posted that. Apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Well, I'm not sure what you want me to do about your inability to read a page of stories. What have you get to say about the blatant lying on this from the No campaign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Out of interest, why have the virulently anti-Yes and Unionist lapdog BBC published this story today? Is it like when Celtic fans explain away their dodgy penalties from Masonic conspiracy referees because they need to make sure it doesn't look too obvious?

Blaven Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If anything, this will turn out to be a huge nod and a wink to Scotland to go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like they creamed their pants about the story based on the initial headline, then have been embarrassed by the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Good on the newspapers calling BT out today. We would be lost without such coverage in uncertainty, psuedo-facts and biased agendas without these warriors of truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'd be genuinely surprised if there weren't a few senior Beeb editors spitting out their pina coladas on their holidays to phone back home and demand answers on how this ended up running. Wholly uncharacteristic. Though they've managed to recover now by prominently featuring Ross Kemp above the President of the European Commission.

Casual Bystander Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have no problems with the BBC being biased. After all anybody with an ounce of sense can see why it is in their benefit for Scotland to remain in the Union (and that's before we start discussing the funding drain that the BBC operate). Plus it's not as if there are several other blatantly biased "mainstream" media outlets. The problem I do have though is that the BBC is not being transparent about it's allegiance. It really should publicly announce a conflict of interest at the very least, if not formally admit it's support for the No campaign. After all it claims to be a public service.

bendan Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 How long till James Cook gets his jotters? Scottish journalist in journalism shocker. He has certainly gone against the grain in trying to actually clarify something rather than deliberately muddy the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with this. Surely as a publicly funded body they should be both transparent AND unbiased. They're basically using Yes voters' money to fund the No campaign, along with other quite disgraceful tactics like their understating of numbers in the anti-austerity marches, and their total blackout of the BBC bias demonstrations. Funny that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
