How to complain to the BBC about their DSEI coverage

Cowley Club barfly | 09.09.2003 13:15

This morning's Radio 4's Today programme had a piece on DSEI where those protesting against the arms traders were described as "a motley collection" and the arms industry was described as creating loads of jobs for British workers.

If you hear inaccurate, met-sourced garbage like this you can register a complaint, anonymously if you want, by phoning 08700 100 222. Film maker Ken Loach, who has seen the inside of this, tells that it does make a difference.

Today regularly repeats reports but the one I heard wasn't repeated after my complaint, even though DSEI was mentioned again twice.

All the best up there - give 'em hell!

The Telegraph (surprise, surprise) has launched a new 'feature' called Beebwatch, in which it urges its readers to send in examples of BBC bias in order to prove that it's a left-wing loony bin. Read here
My suggestion: send the Telegraph team your favourite examples of BBC bias in favour of big-business, the government, the war on Iraq, America, Israel, you name it. Here's the email address:  beebwatch@telegraph.co.uk. And while you're at it, send a copy of each email to Mr David Keighley and Mrs Kathy Gingel at Minotaur Media Tracking, if you can find their email addresses. For a media company, they keep a very low profile on the web...
