Another quick update. I did a comparison yesterday of how the BBC's live election blog was covering the Conservative's couples' tax plans as against Labour's Cadbury's Law. I listed the results from 8am to 2pm. How had things changed by the end of the day? Well, nothing more was said about Labour's proposals but more anti-Tory tweets were highlighted:
*
The Conservative proposal on married tax allowance
Conservative politicians (in favour!) - 1
Criticism from opposition politicians - 5
Supportive comments from opposition politicians - 0
Criticism from others (including tweets from the public) - 5
Support from others (including tweets from the public) - 2
*
Labour's 'Cadbury's Law'
Labour politicians (in favour!) - 1
Criticism from opposition politicians - 0
Supportive comments from opposition politicians - 1
Criticism from others - 0
Support from others - 1

The BBC blog sharply skewed the debate against the Conservatives but ignored all criticism of the Labour proposal. The bias remains outrageous.

From another source comes the fact that the BBC invited someone from the Daily Telegraph to review the morning papers.
ReplyDeleteBenedict Brogan? No.
Janet Daly? No
Simon Heffer? No.
Charles Moore? No
Chrisopher Booker? NO.
Melissa Kite? No.
Vikki Woods? No.
None of the above.
Invited on was Mary Riddell.
Why the Telegraph employs this asinine woman is quite beyond me.

Odd, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt's also odd how often the journalist invited from 'The Times' turns out to be Labour-supporting David Aaronovich.
