JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: KEN LOACH SAYS BBC NEWS MANIPULATIVE AND DEEPLY POLITICAL - YES INDEED - ONLY READ IT IF YOU WANT A VERY PERVERSE BIT OF INFORMATION OR A LAUGH


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN


We've known this for years.

It reached a new intensity under Tony Blair around the time of Dr. Kelly revelations and the Iraq invasion, and it has done nothing but become worse.

I glance at their Internet site only when I'm interested in the twist they are giving to an event in the world.

It is so consistently undependable on its facts that a tiny bit of perverse information may be gained by seeing how badly they beat up on a story.

It would be a fool's task to look for real information there, unless it was information about something fluffy or silly.

Unfortunately, it is a pattern of behavior followed in varying degrees by all the British press.
