Global warming coverage

Ian Dawson made this Freedom of Information request to British Broadcasting Corporation

The request was successful.

From: Ian Dawson

29 September 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Could you please clarify the News department policy on coverage of
the Climate change/global warming debate? I have heard reports that
the BBC has decided not to broadcast any news or reports which
disprove, disagree, or cast doubt on global warming theory. If this
is true, could you please provide some form of justification for
this partisan approach to such a contentious and uncertain issue.

Yours faithfully,

Ian Dawson

What an outstandingly arrogant stance for the BBC to take on the matter. Bias alive and well and living in the BBC's newsrooms and we're paying for it!

Unfortunately, most mainstream media is owned by the same corporate and banking figures that own the government.
These puppets however, will not be given any preferential treatment and are being conditioned, lied to and poisoned just like the rest of us.
