BawWatchin Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Why do the BBC keep using the term "Nicola Sturgeon said..." when it comes to policy changes in Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 John Beattie claimed to receive a text from someone who claimed that, one hour after the announcement of the new measures, he was made redundant and, as a consequence, homeless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that equate to BBC bias? Homelessness can often be the consequence of losing your job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By using "Nicola Sturgeon said...". It gives off the impression that all laws in Scotland are simply from her own words and that there is no parliamentary democracy. It's a deliberate effort to paint her as a dictator. They never address policy and law changes in England in the same manner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Many of the texts that the production team behind John Beattie today deemed fit for broadcasting simply referred to the first minister as "she". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Sannox Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 This will be the same John Beattie show that used to have Eammon O’Neill, Anna Burnside and Stuart Cosgrove using it as a platform to spout their pro Indy diatribes. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the good news is that Stuart and Eamonn now have a weekly podcast called Talk Media which is chock full of diatribes which regularly sail very close to the truth. Don't thank me, just tune in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think the mastermind of Brexit, Boris's right hand man, is a significant person in the Unionist establishment that you slavishly follow? I say Unionist, but willing to dump Northern Ireland when convenient of course. Edited October 8, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support one UK in the heart of Europe as I have said for years. So a plague on both your small-minded, divise, xenophobic border-guard houses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 John Beattie claimed to receive a text from someone who claimed that, one hour after the announcement of the new measures, he was made redundant and, as a consequence, homeless.That's disingenuous.The texter was saying that they will almost certainly lose their job, and as a result, they'll effectively be homeless (presumably due to being unable to pay rent). I think they also mentioned having a reason why they couldn't move back in with their parents.I listened to beattie today and thought he covered things very well. Mentioned the text from someone saying about hearing more from those who lost loved ones. I don't think he shows any great bias and i instead reads the comments he gets sent in.He isn't a great interviewer but he does try to play devil's advocate as much as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the rugby stereotype tends to skew some folk's opinion of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Aye, balanced in a climate change v no climate change way. There is no doubt that over the course of yesterday's programme that it would be regarded as balanced but goodness me, some of the contributions were loaded with prejudice and ignorance. There are broadcasters who specialise in sharing the views of such a cohort and the BBC shouldn't be one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
