Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

No one is saying they are the absolute perfect example of unbiased reporting but i think most sane people would agree the BBC has better filters and quality control than Youtube when it comes to reporting. It's a national broadcaster funded by the public, it has to at least try or in your mind 'pretend' to be somewhat impartial, literally anyone can create a youtube channel and say whatever they want and not have to worry about any sort of standards/regulations etc.

This is why Youtube is a grifters paradise.
I have submitted complaints to the BBC before about specific content and was pleasantly surprised with their response and detailed explanation. It is an institution that can’t please everyone (although it ties itself in knots trying to) and I certainly have issue with a lot of the content but is still an important institution and is generally my first point of call for information on a specific event as they will generally try to avoid assumptions and await full confirmation on matters.

The filters in question at the moment are yours mate...and i don`t mean the ones you`re not putting in those doobies you ain`t smokin`. - Now that you`ve brought into play your inner "spelling/grammar Nazi" we need to exorcise this beast, so what did you think you saw or herd when you didn`t here what you thought you had over hear....or was it there? - Are you confused? Are you seeing words that are not there? Stop smoking Crack then.

Why do you purposely ignore the points raised? I have already said that they are far from perfect, I don't think anyone here particularly adores them... its a tv channel ffs, not a way of life lol.

Where is your counterargument towards the complete lack of regulation on Youtube with regard to reporting? Are you not concerned that people can basically claim anything on Youtube without any kind of oversight ?

What do you think creates more echo chambers (of all types) ? the BBC or Youtube ?

John Piliger documentaries are usually ace btw, so you at least get a brownie point for seemingly liking him.

We were doing ok until you accused me of smoking weed and thereby becoming incoherent or incapable of stringing sentences together.
I`m just asking - what are you on about...

FFS just used “here” instead of “hear” twice in the same sentence, smoking weed in the morning is never a good idea.
........and have you been on that crack pipe again?

wot ?

In my previous post i twice used 'here' instead of 'hear', which is pretty special. I blamed it on me smoking weed in the morning.

Had nothing to do with you lol

In a few years time your going to look back at this period in your life and realise how silly and gullible you have been, as will many others

It’s that type of attention to detail and ability to parse information, which sets OB apart as uniquely able to understand the world around us like no other.

Do you start your complaints with -
"Why oh why oh why, do the BBC constantly show adverts about tampons while i`m having my tea"- Yours Furiously of Stainforth

I don’t think that’s how it will work for many sadly. That would require some serious critical retrospection which a lot of people duped by right wing narratives seem to lack the capacity to do so. Most people end up further down the rabbit hole as this is an easier route to take than to think they may be wrong.
