When a good thing happens, like Mars Orbiter Mission, BBC is the first to criticize it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">A few good things BBC shows about India are either produced by Indians working in the BBC or by sideline organisations like BBC Travels. The mainstream BBC News is overwelmingly, extremely biased. And this bias spreads to other developing countries as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">I will argue that this bias of BBC News is created from personal racism and partiality of many individual reporters and journalists working there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">As far as the coverage of emerging economies is concerned, BBC is rightly called as the &#8220;Bullshit Brodcasting Corporation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\"><strong>You just have to consume BBC\u2019s coverage of certain topics for a while. You\u2019ll know what I\u2019m talking about. For instance, just read articles about Mangalyaan, aka Mars Mission, they write in the end of every article how India shouldn\u2019t spend on space, displaying nothing but\u00a0blatant racism.\u00a0They also wrote about\u00a0how come\u00a0the mission is so cheap, arguing that it is because of cheap labour and other factors, while\u00a0deliberately ignoring the innovation\u00a0used in Mangalyaan. They tried their best to\u00a0underpraise the achievement and deflect reader\u2019s mind to something else.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/Why-is-BBC-called-British-Bullshit-Corporation-by-many-people\">https:\/\/www.quora.com\/Why-is-BBC-called-British-Bullshit-Corporation-by-many-people<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70098\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
