BBC News website political bias?
SNAFU as ever | 01.10.2008 09:11 | Analysis | Other Press
Is 'Have Your Say' on the BBC news website, a) subtly (¬ so subtly) 'moderated' to set and promote a right wing aganda? Is it being hijacked by right wing organisations from the tory party outwards - with multiple posting and recommendation being easily acomplished.
Seeing as this is funded by ordinary people, don't they have a right to fair use of their resources?
ie; Not being used to create politically biased whispering campaigns?

How interesting.
i really am flabbergasted at these forums now - the alleged moderation has become so right-wing oriented.
No posts are published for a 24 hour period - so the 'moderation' queue piles up. then, they are posted as a job lot, with all of the pro-tory posts conveniently on page 1.
Something is rotten in the state of beebmark.
i suppose this post is heading for a rejection. i think this needs further investigation.

What is moderation?

a) As already pointed out, it's all right wing gung-ho blather with an occasional sensible comment buried in the mass .
b) Comments which are blatantly and easily proven untrue are posted without a moderators correction. Reporting the inaccuracy merely gets a response that it is not the Beeb's opinion but that of the commentator. So why moderate if they are going to publish falsehoods?
As for posting! I have never managed to find my comment after it's supposed publication, nor has anyone I know.
Ultimately the "Have Your Say" fiasco, the US government conspiracy for 9/11, etc simply show that the beeb is as biased and lacking data on news events has it has been for years.

Check out the Twat-o-Tron at the 'spEak You're bRanes' website:
It generates hate-filled right-wing nonsense in the style of the average HYS commenter. Unfortunately, I've posted comments from the Twat-o-Tron on HYS and come back a few hours later to see that they are the most recommended comment.
That's when I usually start thinking up ways to wipe out humanity and give the cockroaches a shot - they can't do much worse.
