Howmanheyman 33828 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Seems to me the Tories want their cake and would jolly well like to eat it as well. They already have a sizable majority of the media in their favour but get rather huffy that one of them, the main British broadcasting entity doesn't entirely follow suit, it simply isn't fair! The fact that I consider the BBC to be very lenient on the Tories and the Tories take the opposite view proves, as stated, the BBC can't be doing too badly. The Tories are also trying their damnedest to further water down any chance of union unrest in what is already the powder-puff power of the unions and their membership. (The fact that nobody in the media has asked any Tories what a mythical 'Union Baron' is and exactly how and what powers they have compared to actual Barons and Lords who have wealth and power bestowed on them by birth and cronyism is pretty telling). The tories hold most of the cards but they don't want most of the cards they in fact want the fucking whole pack, aces, Queens, Kings the lot. If Toonotl doubts the influence the media over here have then he only needs to read this thread then look at how the Tories have gotten their majority with people being brainwashed with stuff the Daily Shite puts out on a regular basis plus the demonising of any fucker who happens to be receiving any kind of benefit whether in work or not, by the benefit porn shows that portray the poor in a very skewed way. I am convinced there'll be some thick cunts out there who voted conservative and then slowly realised that they're going to be a hell of a lot worse off as they thought the cuts would only hit some mythical 50" plasma tv buying, shell suit wearing, white lightning drinking charva in Middlesbrough instead of themselves.

Howmanheyman 33828 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 "Hi, CT here. Unfortunately I can't be here right now to comment on this thread as I'm busy fannying around with my latest attempt to find some meaning in my life, namely metal detecting. However here is a post I recorded earlier on this very subject before I researched the facts which I would've ignored anyway, let's be honest. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy!.......... 'Sure, we all have fond memories of good 'ol Auntie Beeb, who can forget Angela Rippon dancing with Morecombe and Wise or my own personal favourite, Noel's House Party? But times move on and this bloated company needs fresh investment which only privatisation can give it. So it's a thumbs up from me to Dave and the team holding the country together after tidying up the mess from Labour. Same old Tories, getting it right as usual.'

toonotl 3106 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Sorry but I have to correct toonotl's incorrect statement above. This is the incorrect statement and I'll show you why. The only people who think Australia's ABC operates with a left wing bias are the Liberal Party. I'm left-leaning. I think the ABC has a left-leaning bias. Job done. We could settle this in the traditional manner with boomerangs at dawn, if you'd like? Edited July 19, 2015 by toonotl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big competition for the likes of the Mail's and the Times. It's free and ad free, which just won't do, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free and ad free, which just won't do, obviously. Is it ad free? I always see banner ads on it and I know Australia's Auntie revenue raises via a small amount of ads on their site. That said compared to the alternatives, Murdoch's muck rakers and the like, it's a couple of ads and no pop ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
