Although the FDCO advises Britons to leave Lebanon, but some are required to stay for doing the job for reporting stories there. Why there's no report for Lebanese government demanding their neighbour to stop any attack on their territory? Are they really that bad don't care their citizens being killed and their assets being destroyed? Not to mention the storming of Al Jazeera's offices in the west bank by the Israeli military ordering it to close for 45 days.

Another classic from the Beeb telling us how to live our lives. Men on average are stronger than women - isn't that an advantage in many trades? Plasterboarding comes to mind and any role where one person is typically carrying around full size sheets of wood or plasterboard. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1k3k9y2dp3oI know that your obsession with the BBC might be to an extent be for comic effect, but these articles that annoy you are not the BBC telling you how to anything. They are quoting from reports and spokespeople, not expressing their own 'corporate opinion'. Its not Fox News. A post "explaining" how Trump and his right wing friend Elon are spreading false rumours about Harris. Our views aside regarding the candidates, are you really telling me that's not biased ? Need I say anymore ?

In what way is reporting these facts 'biased'? You want lies and fakes to be ignored? You only want news that echoes your views? Thats your choice but stop bothering others with your horror of reading the actual facts.

Lets not personalise it. If you don't wish to suck up the truth that comes out of my backside that's your choice.  I think you've answered your own question though. The article is all Trump bad, Harris good.

Well you’ll be gnawing the carpet with rage because they just ran the same piece on PM with little Euan, complete with anti-fake AI imagery Cubans and Venezuelans, snippets of Florida Spanish language radio promoting the fake photo as real and an “I completely believe all things Trump links to are true” woman.
Once anyone comes up with evidence of deepfake Trump stuff made by Democrats, I’m sure they will let us know. Although there is nothing you could fake that would come close to the reality.

A post "explaining" how Trump and his right wing friend Elon are spreading false rumours about Harris. Our views aside regarding the candidates, are you really telling me that's not biased ?Need I say anymore ? I think that is a very good example of a demonstrable lack of understanding of what "unbiased" / "impartial" / "balanced" reporting actually means. This article is about a particular topic, reasonably well encapsulated by the headline "Why 'Comrade Kamala' memes are spreading among Latino exiles" (so I won't attempt to precis). The article itself is not biased if it is reporting facts around a particular topic. It is not purporting to be an article about misinformation across the whole of the election campaign. Therefore the absence of commentary the other way is perfectly reasonable and does not imply any bias. If it were, and it favoured one side over the other (e.g. by omissions) then it would be biased. A single article/interview/piece. doesn't have to cover both sides - even more so if in the context of the story there is only one 'side'. However, if an organisation over a period of time fails to report fairly and neutrally across the breadth of the campaign i.e. both sides or demonstrates bias in its reporting (the above does not), then it is not impartial. And in the case of the BBC it would be contrary to its charter. One can't expect every inch of the entirety of a many months long election campaign to be always covered in every article. It would get a tad repetitive, as well as be an excruciatingly long read.

Need I say anymore ? Don’t overthink it Michael. It’s definitely a spin from the beeb and no other news agency has taken that approach reporting the story. Is the article biased? The title itself prevents readers from getting a precise take on what happened unless readers take time to digest to whole article. www.allsides.com/media-bias/how-to-spot-types-of-media-biasDoes the beeb put a spin on every single story? probably not, but I don’t read all their articles myself, maybe their chief editors do.

things like this annoy me :- www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/man-released-early-prison-lives-29972651released early, but obviously nowhere to go as he's "living" in a tent under a bridge, presumably he has no permanent address which will means some jobsworth at DWP will say he's not entitled to benefits, no benefits then likely to commit crimes to survive, and thus end up back in prison, so what has releasing him early done apart from temporarily free up a space in prison. |

people who get away with things like this www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c869j21y9zeo"Can't be bothered with court" I suppose that he can't be forced to attend, either he or prison officers could be hurt removing him from his cell and ensuring he arrives in court and then he could be disruptive whilst there, Not sure what punishment could be given a strip cell with just a bed, a thin mattress and 1 blanket. |

I don’t know why the Fashion for Relief (1159995)has not been struck down by the gov. Fashion for Relief was removed from the register of charities on 15 March 2024. I hope the news would stop people donating money to this mysterious charity, it hasn’t published the impact for the charity made on their web site. One of their partners is Care International UK (292506), now they are doing Gaza humanitarian crisis appeal, it claims the money reached 167 Million people in 2023 over 1671 projects. www.careinternational.org.uk/ |

The facts of the case are awful, but here I'm thinking more of the headline. The headline is red meat to the anti-cyclist lobby. However, read the article and you find its a 24 year old riding an electric bike on the pavement. We aren't told what type of "electric bike" this is, but they didn't use the term e-bike which is the more accepted term for a legit electrically assisted pedal bike. So in reality what we actually have is: "Young thug riding bike shaped object on pavement kills pensioner in One Punch Manslaughter". Whether the headline is inadvertently misleading or deliberate for effect we don't know. Cyclist killed pensioner with one punch after pavement row |

You are so original. Quite an angle for e-bike. Although the GMP and the Court has not released the details of the bike object much as it wasn’t part of the investigation.
Some papers took the angle for the Grandfather:
“The 'greatest grandad' had enjoyed a 'wonderful night' - then he told a man on a bike to get off the pavement “
Others focused on the thug
“Violent coward killed elderly man in sickening one-punch attack, tried to run away and then lied to police”
Different titles for different audience.
