Daily Heil banned from Wikipedia

RE: Daily Heil banned from Wikipedia
At what point does bias become generally accepted?

Conservatives like to blame media bias on virtually every information outlet. Only Fox and Breightbart are a source of truth for these people in the states. Oh, and cousin billy bobs facebook page.

You would think the real truth would yield a more homogenous grouping where the majority of news outlets agree with each other? Oh wait. They do.

Actually Auntie has become increasingly right wing in its reportage over the last ten or so years, due to massively increased political pressure from firstly the hard-right Nu-Labor government, and then after that from the even harder right Tory/Orange Tory coalition government. The news desk is so reduced in independence that it reports approvingly on the economically destructive and wrongheaded austerity measures in place for the last seven years, where even a centrist news organisation would report, rightly, that the most stupid thing to do in a recession is to cut the money supply.

Wow so much bullshit Belle where to even begin but three really stand out

1) The Leave side were given plenty of chances for interviews etc . They refused because the complained that it would be a hatchet job. Typical right wing  tactic if the media ignores you cry censorship. If you get plenty of coverage cry media bias.

2) I watch the BBC rapes in Europe got plenty of coverage and so did terror attacks (almost to much). Of course your ilk won't be happy until every five minutes the BBC reports "scream vile brown hoards are burning London" So why am I surprised.

3) Yup the said so called and have justified that Statement six ways from Sunday

Absolutely. All of the news organizations vary one way or the other a little, changing with time. I'm talking overall. CNN is not a left wing news site, though they may show bias concerning certain stories, that bias is not constant, nor is it persistently left. Aside from Huffpo and perhaps NPR, I cannot think of any large news that is clearly constantly left bias. The right has labeled things like Snopes as left wing though, so it's hard to keep perspective.

Even from an outsiders perspective American media is VERY leftist leaning. I've stopped watching american series' altogether but I really couldn't care much about it. The only thing that really breaks my balls is to see even the movies being injected with liberal ideas like feminism which just ruins a good movie for me.

Yep, I agree, and I'm a damn liberal lol.
