Well they didn't like it, it's not bias if it's true.

The Conservative party. Not the faux ideology people misguidedly make their whole personality.

But Alan sugar can tweet all the racists tweets he likes with impunity. So it's seems the policy is whatever the Conservatives don't like.

I don’t know how to explain this without being rude about it, but Alan Sugar and Andrew Neil getting away with tweeting Conservative Party talking points while David Attenborough and Gary Lineker being punished for deviating from the script while the BBC chairman is under investigation for bribing his appointer with an 800,000 pound loan makes a mockery of the impartiality the BBC is mandated to uphold by charter.

Most big subreddits are full of incels. r/memes and r/dankmemes are prime examples

Interesting how you go from 'balancing' to trolling.

Do you think laughing at your own jokes makes you sound smarter? It doesn't.

The point they are making is that the BBC had no issue when Linekar criticized Qatar. Or when he criticized Corbyn. So it is exposing a bias at the BBC.

Conservatives is a term given to mean supporters of the Conservative party.

You seemed very confused so I hope that cleared it all up for you.

Hey you could always set up a protest if you feel like your political opinion is being ignored?

Oh wait. You can't. Because they made it illegal. Because they're fucking Nazis.

If Reddit does have a left-wing bias, why do you think that is?

How do you explain a (any) bias in a platform that doesn't editorialise and that anyone can contribute to?

There are plenty of right-wing subreddits. The fact that they're unpopular and filled with nut-jobs maybe says that being 'left-wing' isn't, in fact, a bias but just what human decency looks like when you take away establishment propaganda.

Just a thought.
