BBC biased or incompetent?

The last QT with Farage was 3 Remainer panellists and 2 Leavers. (NF was one of them).

About right for the BBC.

When hignfy was pulled last minute, I did that oh-so-modern thing of turning to Twitter to find out why:

"@haveigotnews
Sorry everyone. The BBC have pulled tonight’s edition of #HIGNFY - no, we didn’t book Danny Baker. We booked Heidi Allen, a member of a party no-one knows the name of (not even the people in it), because the Euro elections, which nobody wants, may or may not be happening.
Sorry.

The number of responses to the given reason was shooting up as I read, and to say that viewers weren't happy would be the understatement of the year!
Accusations of bias and incompetence were the main complaints, but fury that Mrs Brown's Boys was deemed a suitable replacement for hignfy wasn't far behind!

I have given up on so much of the BBC now. I have watched glimpses of QT, and it appears to be BBC bias at its very best.

Farage seems to me in the bits I have watched on twitter like a cheap Alf Garnet, sounding off with ill informed twaddle. If political debate is ever going to get out of the gutter in this country, shows like this will never help it to achieve it.

I'm concerned about the amount of air time the BBC gives to Farage, treating him as though he's a legitimate politician rather than a dangerous man. I'm not saying he should be censored but I don't understand why he gets so much coverage.

We're in the build up to the EU elections which is why the BBC say they pulled HIGNFU, but what difference does 24 hours make?

Interesting that the Brexit lot also accuse the BBC of bias. Whatever is going on, our BBC is losing it.

I think my local BBC are biased. Two examples:

In the recent local elections one candidate made a stupid comment about a planning application - it was headlined in every news bulletin. Two candidates, standing for re-election, from a different party were proved to have used council employees in their own gardens - it was mentioned once on the early morning radio programme, not mentioned at all on local TV news.

In another example, I emailed asking why a criminal act against a local MP was not being reported - I received a reply not answering the question but demanding my phone number, which I found intimidating

paddyann I'm "down south" and certainly feel the BBC is biased. My husband regularly tries to disabuse me of this opinion by saying everyone of every persuasion thinks the same so they're probably not as bad as I think. No, I'm not entirely convinced by his argument either lol

doesn't the"B" stand for biased? It has been this way for a very long time ,maybe not quite as apparent down south as here .We're sick of seeing Farage as he has little or no following in Scotland yet there he is again ...and again ...and again .Its down to the the BBC that he got any following at all,they did their utmost to publicise him when most folk hadn't a clue who he was .Now we know ...still no following here and we still get him rammed down our throats regularly.It would appear the "beeb" has an agenda all its own.

Off topic, but I have started emailing the BBC when I think an injustice has been commited, or I feel very strongly about subject. Just recently the England ladies football team were playing a friendly against Spain. I saw part of the match, but missed the last 40 minutes. I watched the news to see the results. The premier league matches were covered, but not a mention of the ladies. I emailed them to complain about gender bias. I did get a reply, but it was not satisfactory. I'm really going off the BBC.

Heidi is interim leader , . It’s a disgrace, she is a well known MP, Farage is well known for failing to become an MP.

This has angered me

Sorry pressed wrong button so didn’t preview. It should be 33 appearances. Also leaders should read leaders’ with an apostrophe.
