Reductio ad Hitlerum – BBC bias hits a new low
April 21, 2011
The True Finns’ party recently gained nearly 20% of the vote in the recent general elections in Finland. Most people outside of Finland will have never heard of this party – it being a relatively new entrant into the political arena there.
What to make of them? Well they are anti EU and immigration – and has become abundantly clear from the BBC ideological journalistic institutional bias that makes them very bad indeed.
So how to report on their policies? That’s right the entire article leads up to their sucker punch line. In describing their immigration policies we are told that.
“That is like a faint echo of Nazi ideology”
The Nazi card. The old Reductio ad Hitlerum fallacy. Just incase you were wondering what to make of this election result. 20% of the Finish electors have apparently morphed into black shirted fascists.
This is the kind of reporting you would expect from a Bolshevik student rag. And this from our public service broadcaster. So the question beckons – why is everybody in the UK who wishes to own a Television set forced to finance this international left wing propaganda machine?
The BBC Trust has the responsibility for ensuring the BBC is impartial. Clearly it is either completely incompetent or it’s mandate is a farce. Forcing Television owners to finance a political propaganda machine to which they are ideologically opposed is an infringement of our right to free association.
Right on! We need to encourage people to cancel their licences and use iplayer if necessary. I cancelled mine last week and will be taking the tv to the skip soon.
