BBC Propaganda

[kumnio]

 

Without wanting to come over all Trumpian, its about time that the BBC fucked off and got what's coming to them.

Their anti Scottish lies and nonsense is beyond a joke, the unionist pish that they come out with just gets worse every week.

If you believe anything that this lot say about Scotland, or anything that could make Scotland look bad, then bloody hell.

BBC Scotland is an arm of the British Labour Party 

Not an analogy - an irrefutable fact 

Time it was destroyed

And it's not just 'bad' propaganda, it's also what they miss out.

How many large independence marches did they not bother reporting on (unless there was some aggro and they could show 'angry nationalists').

Another kind of thing, I remember several times the First Minister would be representing Scotland at some international event, like some Nordic conference or European meetings, and they just wouldn't cover it.

But it's not just politics, it's about culture. They'll feature Scottish cultural links, but rarely if ever from a 'national culture of Scotland' perspective (unless the event /theme absolutely demands it). So yes they'll have a 'local girl done good' story on some international event, or 'Scottish piper did this', but basically in a way no different from a regional arts story - like it could be how BBC Yorkshire would cover a Yorkshire lass etc.

A similar thing happens in politics too. They might interview a series of Scottish MPs, but in a kind of 'what do our local MPs say on this' as you would do for any local English city or region. They would rarely frame the story from a 'what does this mean for the Scottish nation' perspective. The idea of Scotland even having national/international interests seems to be missing - national/international interests are beyond BBC Scotland's devolved remit, and BBC HQ don't recognise Scotland as having national/international interests.

I know it's a bit of a generalisation, but that's my impression.  I maybe can't pinpoint an actual example (or omission) right now but I can come back to it.

I don't know if it's a uniquely BBC thing but there is definitely this tendency to lay the blame for anything that goes wrong in Scotland, particularly in respect of education or health, squarely at the door of the government. This just does not happen in England.

This, for example, made the news last week:

https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/every-staff-member-jailed-blackpools-32488650?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar

Multiple members of staff, including nurses and doctors, jailed for physically and sexually abusing patients at a hospital, yet no one, as far as I know, is getting on Keir Starmer or the Health Secretary's case about it.

Neither should they, to be fair - how could they be expected to know what is going on in a provincial hospital? - but in Scotland, however, the First Minister had to apologise in parliament because a lassie had to wait hours for an ambulance to arrive:

BBC Breakfast is particularly bad especially when it cuts to the Scottish news bulletins they must have at least 2-3 digs every day at the Scottish Government, the SNP Government or the SNP, Monday mornings are super bad.

[Redz]

It's outrageous that the BBC rarely find anyone Scottish to be interviewed in programming Scotland

Countryfile is a prime example

They go out of their way to 'find' some (usually English) other fkn expert in order to evidence that there is no Scot capable

Their reporting during the referendum was something Goebbels would've been proud of. I remember the reports from the BBC about the violence in George square, the report suggested both sides were equally to blame, it was a blatant lie. The staunch attacked YES supporters.

Some subtle stuff too, like having a picture of a smiling young lassie with a small union jack painted on her face beside one of a bare-chested man with tattoos on a march, looking like he was snarling.  Still, Blair Jenkins told us at an early Yes meeting that there wasn't a problem.  There really was, and fkin weaklings like him were part of it.  The gloves should've been off from Day One.

totally agree

Another example of bbc bias? Not a single mention of the UK government's handling of this. I wonder if the story would be reported differently in Scotland.

Mr Streeting will get to ask the NHS about it rather than the other way round as happens here. 🙄 

Sending mass text messages that aren't correct sounds like part of a pattern of problems when you try and make 'care' automated.

I filled out this thing when it came out. Can't remember what I said but definitely had a minor tartan rant, maybe even some disdain for the Royals too. Must have had the painters in that day 😂

Nice to see the imporantance of an 'independent' BBC endorsed by its director general, Mr Davie (ex Conservative council candidate and ex deputy chairman of the Hammersmith and Fulham Conservative Association).

The biased editorial lines are very stark when you compare SNP-run BBC Scotland with Labour-run BBC Wales:

Cant mind who said it, but it was something along the lines of Scotland cures cancer, but hasnt cured HIV yet.

BBC reports this as SCOTLAND HATES HIV, shame on them.

They are an absolute shameless bunch of North Brit uber wanks.

They are an absolute shower of lickspittles that you will ever see, my son is coming of age and he reads what’s going on, the union, is fukked and a joke, his mates laugh it, btw he is 15 and well versed, him and his mates know.

They've outdone themselves with this one:

 

The £1m figure is the total amount of the salaries of several highly skilled, highly experienced people and their travel, accommodation and subsistence costs since 2022, as the article itself goes on to explain, but the BBC have rightly been getting absolute pelters for their headline.

Alleged bully Kay Adams was apparently "warned" by the Beeb over her pro-Labour bias, according to this:

Kaye Adams is a horribly bitter twisted bastard, if there is an afterlife, the devil better up his standards when that cow is sent downwards.

Today they're making a song and dance about Nigel Farage picking on a kid at school for being Jewish. When he was 12. It was covered on the main evening news and talking about extensively on Newsnight! 🤦‍♂️

Now, it's obviously not a nice thing to do and I can imagine Farage being a wee shite when he was at school, but he was a child FFS 🤣 Children are idiots. Attack what he says and does now, not idiotic things he said before his baws had even dropped!

Funnily enough I don't remember them investigating claims that Ruth Davidson took the piss out of poorer children when she was at school, or the claims that Douglas Ross used to bully lassies.
