To feel the BBC should be impartial?

The Liberal Democrats have a range of policies to present to the voters but no k e can deny that brexit is by far the most important issue in this election and unless it is stopped the country will be poorer. The leaders debate is designed to present two versions of "delivering brexit" which is not ( a.c. according to the overwhelming weight of polling evidence for the last two years) what most people want. People want to stop brexit and they must not be fooled into thinking it cannot be stopped.

The Brexit Broadcasting Corporation have surpassed themselves this week.

We are in a general election campaign and yet there was no LibDem spokesperson on any of their "flagship" political programmes - Question Time, Any Questions or Andrew Marr. All we get is Tory, Labour, Scottish and Welsh Nationalists and, to add insult to injury, the so-called "Brexit party".

That's right -NO LIBDEMS - not one on any of these programmes. How do they get away with it?

Not only is the BBC not impartial, it is not "relatable".

Andrew Marr, on being told about the LPs intention to make dental inspections free and why it would actually save the NHS money, etc., replied "many people prefer to go to a private dentist". Well Mr Marr, we could hardly call you a man off the people. Approximately 10% of the population used a private dentist. Mr Marr may move in circles where most people can and do go privately but 90% of us are very grateful for NHS dentists.

Goodness me..... 3 entire pages strayed well away from the original question, and turned into a series of vitriolic political diatribes.

The BBC archived footage from 2016, which was retrieved by the BBC and carefully spliced into BBC footage from the previous day was a deliberate action to mislead the public.

The actual mistake was in hoping the public would not notice deliberate bias.

Not only do I believe that I have a right to an impartial BBC at all times, as far as I am aware, there is a law demanding that the BBC remain scrupulously even handed and without bias in the period before a general election.

Exactly. But the question remain, and it is, to my mind, a very important one. Did the BBC decide to do this of their own bat- or were they instructed to do so, and by whom. This is just not being addressed.

The first is wrong, for sure- the second another story altogether, and would be even more serious.

Am I really the only one who thinks it should be inverstigated- to find our if there were instructions from beyond the BBC?

must learn to spell check first, sorry!

I agree it SHOULD be investigated but we know it won’t because it won’t show anyone in a good light will it? The tories for requesting it and the BBC for acquiescing - what astonishes me is they thought they’d get away with it!

If I was a candidate for any other party being interviewed, I’d find a way to refer to it every time I spoke but then they’d stop asking wouldn’t they!

You are definitely not the only one who thinks there should be an investigation to find out if there were instructions from beyond the BBC Jura......

Agree Pantglas

.....there is a law demanding that the BBC remain scrupulously even handed and without bias in the period before a general election.
If that's true then they broke that law in 2015 when Evan Davis interviewed Farage. I've never seen any interviewer be so rude in my life! I don't know how Farage managed to stay there and not walk out. It was unspeakably awful and extremely biased. The questions did not even relate to the election. Anyone who thinks the BBC is right wing should think again!

The Brexit Broadcasting Corporation were not certainly not unbiased when they invited Farage to appear on Question Time 29 times in the years leading up to the fraudulent referendum. The only other MEP invited was Tory brexiter Hannan. NO other MEP was ever invited to speak.

you don't mean Hannan who said no-one in their right mind would even consider getting out of the Customs' Union and the Single Market ;)

I see that the BBC whilst recognising that Johnson consistently tells lies, figures that it will undermine peoples trust in politics if they report his lies.

Blimey so suppressing truth = Increase trust
Telling the truth = decreasing trust

What twisted logic is that?

Hmm!
