Anyone else noticed this? I often read / watch the output of Deutche Welle, the German broadcaster, and it's biases are almost identical to the BBC: - it's pro-EU (or "Europe" as it's terminology puts it) - it's pro-immigration, especially alleged asylum seekers
- it's pro-Multiculturalism
- it's very hostile to patriotic movements such as PEGIDA.
- it takes the PC line on women and so on.
Just right now, it's top stories are: - Two stories on right-wing extremism and a neo-Nazi arrest over the assault of an asylum seeker - The German parliament wanting more help for young refugees web.archive.org/web/20150207181545/http://www.dw.de/top-stories/germany/s-1432

I for one am not familiar with this particular broadcaster, but I'm well aware there are many left-wing media outlets with a similar mindset to the BBC.
There are a few reasons I can see as responsible for this. There is a saying - 'Those that can - do, those that can't - teach, and those that can't teach - administrate.' I would add to this - 'those that can't administrate - write about everybody else'. The attraction for many journalists is that they don't have to have success by anything they've done themselves, but sitting on their chairs they can express their view on others who are doing something, and their readers who share their view will make them feel intelligent. Left wing thoughts are a fairly simple construct, so will be attractive for those whose mental abilities haven't been properly developed.
So it's not surprising that we see many teachers with this kind of mindset, who will impart to some of their students a similar mindset. These are the journalists.
Any inferiority complex they might feel from a deep down knowledge of their poor mental skills, they can conceal to themselves by gaining power as a result of their 'brainwashing skills'.
Why we concentrate here on the BBC particularly, and not the Guardian, Independent, etc, is by virtue of the BBC charter, it is given a cloak of trust that enables it to have greater power than the rest of the outlets. So the harm it does is FAR greater.
