BBC Bias
On the BBC news today, there was a reporter outside Westminster discussing bullying in politics. Just a few feet behind him, a protester appeared with placards advertising an 'Anti Brexit' march'.I was expecting to see the protester moved on, or at least the camera to zoom in to remove him from our screen, as they normally do when yobs appear behind a reporter. But no, he was allowed to get his message across for a good few minutes.
Do you think this is an example of subtle BBC bias? If someone had been advertising an anti immigration march for instance, do you think it would have been allowed to continue?
This thread is not about Brexit.

I do think BBC is in a mess with bias for many areas long dogs,Brexit being one of them. Friend of my nephew went for a job back stage, was told he wasn't what they were looking for over heard them saying he wasn't black enough as he left ! How can a black person not be black enough ?

I tend to watch a lot of news, and up to a couple of weeks ago mostly BBC. I cannot remember one instance when they made positive points about Brexit. Constantly they have put out negativities. The same with various other political programmes on BBC. News Night, Question Time,
I wouldn't mind betting the get 'rent a crowd' in for their outside commentaries.
Considering they are supposed to be 'apolitical 'with their influencing, it's more like brain washing !
