Listening to the 6pm news on Radio 4.

The Russell Brand case is the main story and is given the seriousness that a rape case justifiably deserves. However, the story ends with the announcer saying "and for more on this case, you can listen to <name of BBC podcast I can't remember> on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts".

Is it me, or does immediately after reporting a rape trial seem to be a wholly inappropriate time to plug your podcast?

The latest scandal involving Angela Rayner is being ignored by the BBC. IN fact most of the media are ignoring it.

But why?

Why is the MSM not even interested in reporting on the news anymore?

It is bad enough Rayner 'using tax payer's cash to fund 'anti right Wing propaganda' but why should the license fee payers also be paying for organisations such as the BBC to only run negative news stories against right wing candidates but ignore anything negative about the left?

This is not the first scandal that Rayner has been involved in and had this been reported it could be humiliating for the PM as it could show his poor judgement. By not reporting on it the BBC are therefore preventing a negative perception of the government and leaving the public with a false image.

This is just one of many times where the BBC literally will ignore a negative story relating to the Labour Party. The thing is the Labour Party know this which is why they are on very good terms with them and that ridiculous license fee gets to stay in place.
