Journalism. What is wrong?

mrs mal pointed out the piss poor standard of bbc corbyn reporting continually using pejorative terms like 'garb' to denigrate his appearance, pressing him on what he said years ago as opposed to now, and all that shit about kneeling before mrs windsor all within 1 short interview.

And if Sky had their way we would be treated to the spectacle of Cameron actually shagging a pig live.

I think that would fall under the C4 remit

Y'know that TV show The News Room. Where a pretend Network News show has intergrity and fact checks everything to hell and back before they would even dare put it out as News. Complete fiction.

But if we were to imagine how they would treat PigGate...

Some guy who is trying to sell a book has writen that he heard rumours that a prominent figure did something back in university.

Ignore it an lets talk about actual politics please like austerity.

This IS "actual politics". It speaks on the kind of people who govern us; on their human and social qualities.

Unusually for someone on the left in Scotland, I am generally a fan of the BBC. Obviously they were biased as feck during last year's referendum but the clue is in the 1st initial of the acronym. You can't really expect a British institution to be anything other than partisan in that debate.
However, they have excelled themselves in awfulness since Corbyn's election. Along with The Guardian, they have amply demonstrated the hopelessness of the SDP yearning centre/right.
