BBC bias

"That does not make Liberals "globalists"

I did not say 'Liberalism'as a philosophy is synonymous with 'Globalism', what I said was that Globalists like to self describe as 'liberals', when the reality is that many in the globalist tendency are extremely intolerant of opposing views, anti free speech and anti democratic. Some of them are actually International Marxists.

Actually the divide between the far right free marketeers and the leftists Globalists is not as great as you may think.

globalist
noun [ C ] UK ​ /ˈɡləʊ.bəl.ɪst/ US ​ /ˈɡloʊ.bəl.ɪst/
​
someone who believes that economic and foreign policy should be planned in an international way, rather than according to what is best for one particular country :

He is a globalist, whereas we are nationalists who will put our country first.

It is neoliberals, advocating unrestricted international capitalism, not liberals advocating fairness, human rights and co-operation, who might be classed as globalists.

Trump buying cheap steel from China whilst US steelworkers are unemployed is a globalist. It will be interesting to see how well he and his family live up to the "America First" rhetoric.

I hope that his illiberal tendency to censor the American media is resisted. CNN, the Washington Post, New York Times, etc do a good job, but although it's far from perfect, I'm glad we've got the BBC.

It is neoliberals, advocating unrestricted international capitalism, not liberals advocating fairness, human rights and co-operation, who might be classed as globalists

A carefully chosen selection from the liberal pantheon which also includes advocacy of supra national governance, weakening of borders and rights appertaining to citizenship to be replaced by the notion of EU and world citizenship.

unstubstantiated rubbish

mair what tripe

Name someone who is your view a globalist and it may be easier to understand what you are trying to say.

Not your most thoughtful contributions ladies
Nor upholding high standards of etiquette.

still no names though. You never know mair we might be forced to eat our words.

mair In the absence of you supplying me with names/information re globalist.

I've looked at the "Globalists Agenda" site.

You can't be serious you can't possibly believe that rubbish.

I agree Varian that Laura Kuenssberg's questioning of Trump shows no right-wing bias in the BBC, though as their Political Editor she has been accused of that in the past, this proving the point made earlier.

I had to smile when the PM invited her question! Theresa May was being very mischievous as she knows just how uncompromising Ms Kuenssberg is!

High standards of etiquette Mair - this is an Internet forum not the vicarage tea party.

Sarah Sands has been named as the new editor of Radio 4' s Today programme. Yet another conservative appointed to a key political role in the BBC. She has said that she is not "idealogical" and so we hope that she will remember the BBC's guidelines on political impartiality.

Yet with some who feign the sensitive nature of vicarage prudes - when it suits.
