If you read my comment I said “…Question Time has never shown any bias towards any party.”

I used this with reference to what I feel is Sky’s bias towards the Tories. Notice the words ‘towards’ as opposed to your example of bias ‘against’ the BNP. I also should have been clearer in my use of the term ‘any party’; by that I meant any party with a serious chance to win the election. i.e will play a role in who is going to govern our country (pretty important to get some balanced journalism).

Your comment about the BBC predjudice towards the BNP is right; but the BNP and predjudice kind of go hand in hand don’t they.

Question Time featuring Griffin was massively biased against him and I found the whole thing out of character for Q time and not very productive, but I guess that comes with the territory when you have views that offend most of the audience and panel – possibly making them feel physically sick as you do about your licence fee. I don’t think you are legally obliged to have a tv license either by the way. You can opt out of the license fee without being a criminal, whether or not you have a TV or not is your choice isn’t it.

“Like most leftie’s you obviously see what you want to see and ignore what you don’t.”

You might prefer the scenario of adverts for telly with a touch of politically slanted news/sport/programming scattered in (as in the USA), but many people are not so keen. In fact, wouldn’t politically slanted news media be letting you see what you want to see and ignore what you don’t Marty?

I see the facts; that SKY are owned by the same man that owns the Sun, News of the World etc, a right wing Australian American tax avoiding tycoon. Don’t blame me for treating their news coverage with suspicion, anyone with a grain of intelligence should do the same.

I see that the BBC are owned by no such individual and have no such ulterior motives.
