And I'm finding excon to be an extreme right wing troll.
So I would advise him not to cross my path..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I think Keynes was a bit narrow minded. It's evidence that should result in a change of thinking, not just facts. Not all opinions are based on cut and dried facts. For example, there's plenty of evidence that the majority of Brexiters are as thick as mince and incapable for forming or following rational discourse, but it would be a stretch to say it's a fact.
Anyway - like all media organisations, the BBC does have a bias (in this case "liberal") which sometimes affects what it reports on and how it reports it. It's still a hell of a lot more impartial, and certainly more reliable than any other news outlet I can think of.
If someone can suggest another news source which is more reliable, trustworthy and/or impartial, I'd be fascinated to know about it. I might even change my mind on the subject.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

In terms of the BBC, it has a liberal bias on social issues, and a right-wing (or orthodox economics if you prefer) bias on economic issues. It's important to separate out the two, although of course that may be tricky for our simpleton Breixteer (+ scooter + darmy) colleagues.Comment
