The guffaw, mate, is because a supposedly “impartial” source is using an almost exact wording of a Tory election slogan from 2015.

Also the article, which repeats the same words, is written by a reporter who is widely known to hold Tory-supporting tendencies, and who more importantly, has previously been found to have breached accuracy and impartiality rules in her reporting on Corbyn.

Repeating Tory election slogans is not a generally recognised form of impartial reporting - it’s like something the Daily Mail or The Sun would come up with.

It’s not surprising however, as the Tories have constantly threatened the BBC with losing their licence fees unless the BBC become the sort of organisation the Tories want - ie. a dumbed down, Tory-supporting one.

Do you think the words used: more spending, more tax, more borrowing is an inaccurate reflection of the manifesto?

The BBC are summarising this in a headline. You don’t seem to like this, but it’s not an inccurate summary of their manifesto pledges.

The Tory headline is using a slight in ‘The Same Old Labour’ jibe. The BBC are not.

2624

Em, yes they are. That’s the point, duh.

2625

That’s a 2015 slogan and not even now? Christ get a grip, or tell whoever you lifted this from to do so.

2626

It’s a Tory election slogan. News organisations shouldn’t use Tory election slogans both as headlines and in the text of an article as “analysis” if they want to retain credibility.

You obviously think they should, but then you would, wouldn’t you.

2627

It’s a slogan from 2015 ffs

The manifesto is from now, is it true or untrue? Because it certainly appears to be true.

This is classic twitter bullshit. Defend the policy, don’t get dragged down some alleyway of twitter anger.

2628

It’s irrelevant which year the slogan is from, you dimwit.

The BBC is both headlining an article with a Tory election slogan and offering that same slogan as “analysis”.

That’s not journalism - that’s Sun-standard propaganda, and again, it’s no surprise you see no problem with it, given you spent most of the last year shilling for Trump and repeating his campaign slogans like a hyperactive parrot.

2629

Where is the slight in the BBC headline?

Sidney outraged by media bias :joy::joy::joy:
Who posts more biased media articles than the rest if the TFK community times 100.
Fuck me, it’s not just bandage that needs help, the whole place is nuts.

From 2015. Christ.

Defend and promote the manifesto, nobody gives a fuck what some BBC sub editor put as a headline on an online article other than your echo chamber.

2632

Your failure to defend the article and its headline is noted.

2633

The fact that socialists want to tax more, spend more, and then borrow more when everyone is taxed to the hilt already, is fake news.

The sun shall not rise tomorrow.

2634

You’re moaning about the article as well?

I actually don’t mind Corbyn, He has his beliefs and he has consistently held them for years. You have to respect him for that.

He has been elected by his party to lead them, fine. So let him put his ideology to the test with the electorate and see how he gets on.

Kuenssberg has plenty of form here. Between herself and Nick Robinson, the BBC has been a shameless propaganda tool for the Tories for a long time now.

She should have been sacked after this, if it was pro-Labour stuff she was inventing you bet your life she would have been shit-canned.
