Bloody channel 4 news

[Blackandwhitehorse]

I usually enjoy watching c4 as I thought they always seemed a bit more balanced. However their coverage on Hubbard referred to gender and was completely bias. So disappointed.

Yes I saw it too. Apparently opposition is based on fear and prejudice

I'm also disappointed, especially as they didn't see fit to talk to any women on this issue.

That report was shocking. I couldn't believe how biased it was. C4 News is my favoured news outlet but this report was dreadful.

They only interviewed Joanna Harper (trans researcher whose faulty science the IOC guidelines got based on in the first place) and Dr James Barrett - a psychiatrist from a gender clinic - who doesn't apparently have any qualifications in sports medicine or sports science. He claimed that reduced testosterone on a male sized skeleton would put trans women at a disadvantage.

They didn't address any of the issues of fairness for women or interview any female athletes, sports scientists or advocates for womens' sports. Think I will be complaining about the bias in this report.

BBC interview with dr Ross Tucker was awesome. He’s so clear.

It’s channel 4! What did you expect?

They are usually more balanced and in depth on other issues, more so than a lot of others.

I'm just surprised no media headline writers have gone for the "NZ lifter out of the Olympics due to invalid snatch." Seems like a missed opportunity.
