Comments on: NEWS RELEASE: Greens to report “unbalanced” BBC http://www.patrickharviemsp.com/2009/10/news-release-greens-to-report-unbalanced-bbc/ Green MSP for Glasgow Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:13:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Gillian http://www.patrickharviemsp.com/2009/10/news-release-greens-to-report-unbalanced-bbc/comment-page-1/#comment-1577 Gillian Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:19:21 +0000 http://www.patrickharviemsp.com/?p=648#comment-1577 I feel you are right to complain to the BBC. I will, now that I know. I hope others do too. The BBC should give equal coverage to all political parties, however they certainly don't do this in Scotland. They should not be getting away with their bias behavior! I agree with post No 2 above & perhaps this is an issue in which the Green Party & the SNP can work together on, after all we all pay the license fee! Best wishes to you I feel you are right to complain to the BBC. I will, now that I know. I hope others do too.

I agree with post No 2 above & perhaps this is an issue in which the Green Party & the SNP can work together on, after all we all pay the license fee!

Best wishes to you

The recent SNP conference saw a series of blatantly partisan and inaccurate reports from the BBC, culminating in a disgracefull incident whereby the First Minister's keynote speech was effectively rendered inaudible for the first three or four minutes. Complaining brings little by way of satisfaction, perhaps though your profile may elicit a more constructive response.

As surprising and perhaps complaint-worthy as no Scottish Greens having been invited on the show is, it just doesn't seem directly comparable to the BBC's decision to allow Griffin on tonight.
