Very creative.
So tell me, where do you get your news from?

I'm just going to admit that I don't have many links for you, however some of their coverage of President Trump and Brexit that I have seen has been quite biased, they appear to give a lot more airtime to those who supported the remain campaign. They call ISIS the 'so-called Islamic State' (you can easily find that one on your own) and have given "refugees" positive coverage while ignoring the rape attacks in Europe and the fact that the "child" "refugees" who entered the UK last year clearly weren't children.
Here's some "refugee" propaganda
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38918317
Child refugee? Don't think so.
I'll be sure to keep my eye out for anymore and have bookmarked the thread, just for you.
Could you tell me in what way this article is propaganda? I don't see it as such giving it a once over.
It appears they did give more coverage to the remain campaign than the leave one. I see that the BBC does not have any coverage of the one rape in Germany, or the Sweidsh attack, though I see the Swedish attack has very little news, as the police were holding the case info tight. With the vast majority of refugees committing no crimes, do you think they should report more heavily on those that do? That would be fair and accurate, then?
Do you Think ISIS accurately represents the entirety of Muslims, or do they just claim to?
I took some time to read about the refugee/children issue, and it seems a lot more complicated than "some were not children". Many are older teens (which can look adult) and it's impossible to verify their claimed ages without a birth certificate. It seems the Red Cross has some standards for dealing with people not sure if technically children or not, and it does err on the side of assuming they are minors if there is no evidence otherwise.
So the BBC did not report the controversy. The only news I can find that seriously question it is the Daily Mail (Irony, considering this thread?) and some other tabloid types. Do you think mainstream news should report on what are widely accepted conspiracy theories?
The Telegraph does report on the supposed controversy from both sides. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/...ve-in-bri/
In any case, I acknowlege there are a handful of slightly leftist things here, but I can find some equally slightly right leaning behaviors fromt he BBC too (based on the links I provided earlier), so it seems it is mostly centrist with the occasional slight bent either way a bit, but not a far left (or right, as others have claimed) propaganda machine.
I made a simple diagram to illustrate my point.

The further to the right your political bent is, the more to the left the center (or even neutral reporting) seems, because, well, it IS far to the left of you, but it isn't far to the left in an objective sense. Same principal applies to those on the far left seeing CNN and BBC as far right.
And since America and the UK both seem to be suffering extreme polarization, more and more people find themselves on one end or the other, in some attempt to keep balance, I guess.
I hate that when I added a new post it tacked it onto my old one. :p
