BiasedBBC

As readers of this site will remember I find BiasedBBC laughable, but complusive, from its nutty commenters to the ways in which it finds bias in the least biased of things through analysis word by word.

However as I note below this week it really took on a new gear. If you were wondering how those at BiasedBBC view journalists, and not just ones from the BBC, this post by Patrick Crozier (one of the official posters) brings it home:

"Convulsed even. I’ve been watching Channel 4’s “News”. I know, it’s not the BBC but it’s all part of the same thing: the cancer of bent and twisted journalism. Bastards. I want these people to feel pain. I mean real pain. The sort of thing only a professional torturer can dole out. It’s the only thing I think that will ever wake them up to reality and the responsibilities of their offices."

The very same people frequently refer to the BBC as 'amoral' or 'sick' yet fantasise about the torture of journalists, many of whom probably spend much more of their time in 'reality' than do these armchair thumb-twisters.
