WTF, BBC?!?!?

[CarlYasutomo]

I wish I had taken screen shots, but over the last 24 hours I've looked at the BBC app on my phone approximately 8 times, and all but one of those times, the Biden documents story was the lead story! Not even CNN has had it at the top of their website the few times I've looked, and Fox News didn't have it at the top when I just looked now!

I used to trust BBC, but over the last couple of years I've noticed a tendency to "both sides" issues in ways that are sometimes worse than the US media. After the first presidential debate of 2020, for example, their article on the debate made it sound like both Biden and Trump had ruined the debate with shouting, taunts, and insults.

1. Is it possible that the app is following your browsing history,

and it is feeding you the stories that it has seen that you have an interest in? Google knows wheee I’ve been, and it hands me advertising based on my browsing history.

6. I didn't think the BBC app did that. But I'm not sure. Nt

2. A Friend from Britain told me several years ago .....

That no only has BBC been moving right, but Sky News had been moving right well before BBC.

I guess they're trying to deflect from the fact that their country is falling apart thanks to Brexit and to their twin GQP'ers the Torie Party, who has dismantled their healthcare system NHS--which had at one time been a model of HOW a health care system should be run, that thanks to the party on the reich, it's on life support itself literally.

4. I think you are right, they are trying to display that the UK is not the only country

with scandals---look at those squirrels across the water.
