Exactly. It wasn't at all a story when Corbyn wanted to wait until after a business event to answer a member of the media's completely unrelated question on Syria...

The BBC should be shut down for not referring to more reports from the totally objective and unbiased Daily Torygraph.
…I have rarely read such an ironic article in my life
We can expect a fair level of reporting from former Tory researcher, Murdoch employee, and resident BBC right winger Andrew Neil.
Now that isn't fair. You forgot to mention that whilst a Murdoch employee he gave a job to holocaust denier David Irving.
What a joke, no greens
Massively left wing is ridiculous. Slightly, but consistently left wing, yes.
He is very good tbf. At least as good as Paxman- seen him savage both sides tbf.
When did Natalie Bennett step down as leader? Her interviews were great, particularly the fake coughing fit one
'how can you have any pudding if you haven't had your greens!'
It always used to be the right in the UK donning their tinfoil hats about BBC bias, now it is the left.
Neil does get partisan on Brexit and climate change, which are two particularly annoying things to get partisan on to me.
What's his climate change position?
Yeah I like Andrew Neil, I was just getting my complaints in early.
Sceptic, at least in every interview I've seen him do. Him and Portillo also like to bring up when ice sheets are larger than usual, not a peep last year when it went horrifically low.
Irving was actually a respected historian until he went a bit, er, mad.
I'm sure many lefties on here would still be moaning if the ghost of Lenin was doing the interview.
Christ, how can someone hold a position like his and be that retarded? Surely if someone got caught out by him in an interview they could just trot that out and it makes everything he says invalid.

Can't tell if this was satire (guessing it was) - Mr and Mrs JC have been invited onto the show as well. Doesn't sound like they've accepted the invite.
Who do you think Dimbleby is biased towards? I've always liked him, not sure if that suggests he's biased towards the left..
Yeah I like Dimbleby. Could sometimes maybe reign things in a bit more on Question Time when it gets out of hand, but he's not bad.
She didn't exactly. Greens have two year terms for leadership and she rather understandably decided not to stand for re-election.When did Natalie Bennett step down as leader? Her interviews were great, particularly the fake coughing fit one
Shame, she was entertaining.
By the time of his employment by Andrew his views on the Nazis and particularly the Holocaust were well established.
Yaaaas!
One word for it.
I'm never sure about systemic bias at the BBC. I see a good number of programmes & features with a Lefty slant, I see a fair few Lefty sympathsisers either interviewing or as subjects being interviewed in a supportive way. Dunno about the actual political stuff though, that's a bit more tricky. They don't like Corbyn & tend to support the Establishment (Tory) line a bit too much for me. Also, Kuenssberg when given a 50/50 call on an angle to take, you hardly have to guess where it's going. PMQs would be where I take this view from mainly, atm.
What you definitely do have now, is both sides whingeing about media coverage as an automatic - often bearing not a lot of relation to what the content is / was.
I've definitely seen Ms Hartley-Brewer, some clown from a loony free-market think tank, a relatively harmless Lib Dem & say a not very good Lefty on Sunday politics or something & the Tory Twitter-bots are still slaughtering the BBC for Lefty bias, it's part of the game, now. This is done the other way around too when it's moderate relatively sensible Right vs. the more extreme Lefties. ''It's a proper fascist panel the Beeb has wheeled out tonight...''

Ah, missed the top bit and thought you'd tagged me by mistake with the fox hunting. Was it defo known then? Think his rep took a weirdly long time to deteriorate from memory. Wasn't he also still regarded as an expert on the Luftwaffe iirc.
He's not overt, but if you did a tick-list of his interruptions and quick disparaging remarks for each side the left's would be considerably longer.
Well I think it would but I could be wrong, I'll try it if I can patient enough.
Bear in mind I'm not hoping to find bias like some, I like Andrew Neil for instance.
Then again Jo Coburn is even better, in fact she's the best out there for me.
Expert? He was Hermann F*cking Goerring.
Going by wiki, it was a job as translating Goebbels diaries for serialisation. Neil defended it at the time saying that though Irving was "reprehensible", it was just a translating job, which is a bullshit excuse. Plenty of feckers speak German without also holding sympathies for the third reich!
Also, one of Len's underlings has been selected for Liverpool Walton, ex Liverpool mayor not too happy
The Antarctic ice sheet is growing and it is not fully understood why that is. So his statements might be factually correct. Using that as argument against climate-change is not convincing so.
The antarctic sea-ice extent suffered a large drop at the end of last year and is still well below average for this time of year. The point is more that he picks and chooses when he talks about it.

I increasingly like Jim Waterson.
@Ubik - What would you say are the chances of Corbynite MPs making up 15% of the PLP after the election? They're mostly in safe seats so surely it's looking more and more likely?

Almost as if we've had a change in government. The BBC programming is left overall its the news programs which are bias to the goverment administration of the time as they have to cosy up to them especially when funding is contentious.
On paper it seems a bad idea, but it does seem to have pissed off both Jim Waterson and Marie Le Conte. Hmm.
Hardly a surprise. Did you watch the Vice documentary on Corbyn and his team?
Depends on how bad it gets. Ironically if it's catastrophic (down to 120 odd, which shouldn't happen but you never can tell) there's more of a chance because that would only require 18 nominations. If it's instead just the more "really bad" scenario of 160, the numbers get a lot harder for them. There's about 20 at the moment if you include the likes of Thornberry and Gardiner who aren't true believers. Bit more uncertainty among the new selections though. I still think if they don't have the numbers they'll just try and keep him in, getting close to Ed's vote share is everything for them at the moment.
