Biased BBC

Wednesday, April 08, 2009 ed thomas # Economical with the news I see on several sites- likes Alice's for example, or the Times- that UK manufacturing output is falling at the fastest rate since 1981. I can't find a story about it on the BBC UK page, and no-one has mentioned any coverage of it in the comments. On the other hand, I have seen repeatedly that the EU is to support UK car manufacturing. Can it be the BBC doesn't like to remind us too much of where Labour's economic genius has led us again? Why on earth would they prefer me to notice EU funding for UK jobs? Why don't I notice BBC stories about personal hardship in the slump such as I remember from the days of Major? Questions. Questions (maybe I am trying to fathom why 30% might still support the incumbent troughers). I can remember when more moderate manufacturing declines and weakness in the early nineties were essential topline stories for the BBC. Comments: 6 (unread) - Biased BBC Home
