Point is, it was a huge protest. I would hazard a guess they gave more coverage to people protesting conscription in Russia.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View PostComment

I'm never really sure where the BBC lands when it comes to reporting. I know it's very Tory-led so impartiality is always a bit of a myth but technically under that guise it's supposed to report the news and yet when the news is relentlessly (rightfully) one sided then I imagine they have a tussel on whether to report negatively on Labour for balance, hold back on the Tories for fairness etc. I suppose when your future is decided by the Government it raises the spectre of the BBC's role regardless.Comment

I think part of their problem is that they have the veneer of impartiality, despite being a national broadcaster, and thus would inherently have a bias towards (1) the government of the day and (2) preserving the status quo.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post
I think they can be a bit up themselves sometimes, because the BBC's one major strength as a news organisation is that they're not driven by a profit imperative; i.e. they don't really have to care whether their editorial is popular or not. But that only makes them better if they actively use that to shine a light on unpopular topics.Comment

Truss u-turns on scrapping the 45p top rate of income tax.Comment

Like plunging in the knife a second time to try and undo a stab wound
On every possible level they can't take back the damage as much as the tax cut deserves to be u-turned. If anything it compounds the damage as it shows the markets that their word holds no commitment and with such a severe level of uncertainty they've now established a terminal level of fear across the board that will last until they're out of office.Comment
