Why does this far-left propoganda group continually try to do Britain down?

Why can't they have more presenters who think like the majority of Brits - people who believe that Britain is truly great - indeed, the best country in the world.

People who believe in our institutions, who love the monarchy, who revere the military, who speak in hushed awe about the majesty of our traditions. Presenters who are over-awed by the silent beauty of our countryside, and the glory of our heritage and history. Why do they always use their sneering, supercilious, Guardianista attitude - this constant insinuation that Britain should always be taking the blame and apologising. Coincidentally, it seems to stem from the same sort of sneering middle-classery that is prevalent on MN...

The most recent, shameful episode is the Beeb trying their best to spoil the England 2018 bid. Now I have no time at all for football - I can't stand it - but I fully recognise how important it is for our economy, and also for our national psyche.

The sooner the BBC withers and dies the better. Sadly, it has gotten away with a miniscule 16% cut in the TV tax over 6 years. They will continue their ramblings for the foreseeable future.

'A true leftist country would have paraded him around the town square for failing to protect the collective'

no, because the people (the proles) are the enemy of the leftists. They use them just like Stalin did, but lots of the collective find themselves in the people's salt mines in Siberia.

'Thats pretty conservative.'

But maybe it isn't? If it was, then why did the Director General of the BBC admit that the BBC had, in the past, been guilty of "massive left-wing bias"?

'I think the Beeb is very establishment.'

So is the establishment left-wing?

claig · 03/12/2010 09:12

'I watch the Beeb to get the weather.'

But what about Michael Fish? That shook me.

yes I don't agree with longfingernails' post. The only part I agree with is the left slant of the BBC.

'Thats because most people are ignorant of science. Especially climate change.'

well thank God for the Guardian, Ben Goldacre and George Monbiodiversity. They'll put the people right, they'll tell them the truth.

they look outside their windows and see the snow piled high, and ask when global warming will start. The politically correct tell them that this snow is part of global warming, and that they should wise up. they see no Japanese people with ginger hair, and the politically correct tell them that there are no genetic differences between races and that race doesn't exist, and they need to wise up.

claig · 03/12/2010 08:24

tht is what the politically correct tell us, but most people don't believe that, just as they also don't believe the global warmers.

Yes that is the difference between us. I think any old group will never have the strength of a genetic group such as a family.

LadyBlaBlah · 03/12/2010 08:16

The difference between our arguments is that I think humans will be part of basically any old group (see Feral children for eg), shared genes is irrelevant

claig · 03/12/2010 08:01

'Do you mean genes as in individuals are different, hence your Osborne comment. Or do you mean that races are genetically pre-disposed to be better at different things to other races?'

I mean it is not practice that makes Usain Bolt a better runner than Gideon Osborne, it is genes. Different races have different genes and that's why some races are taller than others.

I think this Is another example of special interest media-in the US Fox Is clearly politically biased, though Toward the right,. Media has a responsibiliy to report facts not spread the propaganda of the biggest investor or lobby.

If it had been an episode of the Apprentice, Sir Alan Sugar would have said "you're fired" to the lot of them.
