Ahh, this is actually a do-able idea when I come to fixing the kitchen. And it will be CHEAP.
if you’re a misogynist with no respect for women, do not fuck them. do not masturbate over them.
you don’t get to be a violent bigot and then take pleasure from the people you hate so deeply.
I have seen this going around. And thought “Umm are you sure?”
Obama is not president of the UK. Our main news network is not going to report ridiculous stories about him to the extent of US news. HOW NEWS WORKS.
If you haven’t noticed, we have our own disgustingly insignificant national interests all over the news. For weeks and months it’s been QUEEN QUEEN QUEEN JUBILEE!!!!!! Today it is climaxing with important news stories like that in Scotland, people played some bagpipes.
OKAY JOURNO STUDENT MOMENT. Fuck this shit.
The BBC has never been impartial. It’s simply not possible with the set-up. To make out that the BBC would report on ‘important issues’ whilst other rolling channels pre-occupy themselves with branding (also kinda important, you know? product placement is an issue) is just ridiculous.
If they even covered a story like this (and that’s a big if), they would not say ‘18 killed in US drone strike’
‘18 killed in Pakistan clash’, maybe. Come on now.
I’m never going to say that it’s as simple as this meme portrays, but the BBC is more impartial than many news outlets for the simple fact that it is a public broadcaster, subject to a different standard of scrutiny. Though of course as a journalism student (and a British Citizen) you know this.
Also, a quick google yielded this easy refutation of your point about the formulation of it’s headlines.
I’m going to leave aside the googling, because going into the BBC’s history of passively framing conflicts in which we have a vested interest is too much of my time. Also, I had rolling (TV) news in mind (as per the meme), where it is far less likely you will hear that phrase.
The PSB thing is interesting. I’ll elaborate.
Because of the Royal Charter:
- The BBC operates under the knowledge that its funding is controlled by, and can be cut or withdrawn by, the government. The Tories have been dying to do this for decades. This creates a culture of self-censorship.
- The government has the right to ban the BBC from covering something, and/or take control of it.
- Both of the above, along with cumulative exposure, have set the terms of news discourse for generations. This normalises bias and reduces feedback.
- BBC’s PSB status means that complaints are raised internally (BBC Trust, actually), rather than with OFCOM.
TL;DR - The BBC is not impartial, it’s less directly commercial.

I made up a new rule that I have to reblog anything with a Rollei that shows up on my dash.
