Yeah right, if only!  I would like to gripe about the media, and in particular the BBC.  They are supposed to be unbiased but the moderators on the "Have your say" forums seem to reject the many valid and non-offensive comments I post - presumably because the truth really hurts!

My guess is that these are part and parcel of the problems with the media in general.  The news that gets out is only what they want the public to hear, and they basically conceal everything else!  I have made some constructive comments which were true and probably quite valid (in my opinion), but because they were a bit too much for the BBC dimwits to accept - they simply rejected them.

Have Your Say is full of this kind of thing.  Someone can make a comment which has no substance to it and it gets published, but a more constructive one is rejected as if it is offensive. Why??  Some user-names reflect the rejection of their comments by the BBC on a regular basis, which basically means they are fed up of NOT having their say published.

If people in control are not prepared to accept fair comment and reflect a true view from society, then more people need to stand up and get this suppression exposed.  Moderation is one thing, but censorship (cherry picking?) is quite another thing.  Obviously the BBC wouldn't want to highlight it's own failings and maybe the media in general wouldn't be too happy, but with sites like The Weekly Gripe and others, perhaps with the Internet we can break this glass ceiling of truth exposure enforced upon us by the media.

Have Your Say

Why do these cowards hiding behind cyberspace not face up to the truth and actually allow people to "have their say".  I know how the Chinese feel now!

HYS?

HYS only seems to post commenst that are right wing and some commenst are beyond decency
Its just a site for the loony Right wing to vent steam amd spleen
I have posted numerous well reasoned and morally sound logical posts ..alll rejected ..yet they post the rants of bigots and idiots

You can easily tell which topics are the most sensitive, because in this case, they simply do not allow comments. Have your say, when we say you can, but then only say what we want you to say, OK?

I frequent a site called tpuc dot org and it really brings home the reality we all live in today.
The noose is slowly tightening and cutting off the blood supply, before long we will be in a constant state of fear and trepidation, yet this is only psychological, we need to make sure they don't get a firm foothold, in fact, it should be the reverse, they should fear the people!

It takes a strong mind and caring heart to win over this evil, stop paying the tv license for one! I don't pay mine and have had a few visits but they know they cannot do anything. I simply refuse to fund terrorism, that is what we are talking about in the end isn't it?

I accept the concept of moderation. However having posted to HYS occasionally over many years I feel it is abused. If I say anything non PC, at the beginning of a discussion when it has a chance of rating high on the recommendations it tends to remain in moderation for ages. If I make a less non PC subsequent comment it will be published ahead of the earlier one. I AM CONVINCED the liberal editors at the BBC do this to manipulate apparant public opinion.

I completely agree.

However, if you really want to see biased moderators... head on over to the Sky news website. Not only do they seem to reject your comments if they *aren't* racist ramblings, but their discussion website is just full of racist posts that Sky seem to advocate seeing as they let them stay up, but don't publish any comments that criticise or go against the Sky editorial agenda.

What's the point of asking for comments if they're only going to publish the ones that agree with them?

The BBC HYS forum is still being run by a load of jobsworths who follow rules and don't know how to reason.

Sums up many in control behind the scenes.

You can comment on anything on HYS as long as it's not in the slightest bit controversial, does not include the words Islam or muslim. You can also be critical of any democratic nation, especially Great Britain, but you can't say anything truthful or untoward about dictatorships or nations controlled by religion (except Israel)
The list goes on - BBC censorship at its worst

I couldn't agree with you more. Try letting them know that you don't agree with one of their prize presenters/ editors, and you don't stand a chance.

Back ground music is spoiling my evenings viewing, Do the people that make the programmes especially history and documentaries even the news look at the programmes they make? do they really think it needs stupid loud music to drown out what the narrator is saying, its driving me mad. Rick Stein has music while he talks about fish . I give up Ive turned the T V off

The BBC is the mouth-piece of, and controlled by, the UK Government, which itself is neo-Communist in its politics. That explains all the above by "Have Your Say Critic"
*Mickey-the -One  23-Jul-2009 10:45

 
Just another example of the corrupt media agenda that exists.

If they really wanted everyine to have their say in a true and democratic way then they would not censor the comments. Mind you, the beeb wouldn't want to offend any disgusted of Tonbridge Wells types out there now ould they?

Let's face it we, the licence payer, have no real say in anything. I would like to have a say on what to pay these so called celebrities. No wonder the licence fee is so high - when we're paying celebrities disgusting amounts just to introduce a show! We're probably paying for their clothes too! It irritates me no end. Also some of the programmes are crap.
I'm fed up of having my hard earned money wasted on greedy, big headed celebs. They want to live in the real world.
