When a piece of economic news is worth a place on the BBC's news front page and when it isn't

Last month this BBC piece about a fall in UK retail sales was deemed worthy of a place on the BBC news front page.

Today a piece about UK government borrowing being at its lowest for 10 years is not deemed newsworthy enough for that and so one has to go to the business home page in order to find it.

Bad economic news under a Conservative government = Front page news.
Good economic news under a Conservative government = Not front page news.

It's hard to see why this is the case, other than becasue the BBC is little better than the Labour Party's propaganda arm and is institutionally biased against the Conservative party.


A look at the comments to this piece shows that I am not alone in spotting this discrepancy in coverage:

The fact that the BBC deliberately choses to hide this article away from front page or even UK page reaffirms my position that the BBC is biased trash!

Comrade Corbyn won't like that!

Which explains why it is buried in 'The Business Section'

We all have to understand that space on the BBC front page is limited and has to make way for far more important journalism like:

“BBC sorry for gay conversion tweet”

“Solange tells “magazine don’t touch my hair””

“Oxbridge even posher than we thought”

BBC, why is this NEWS item tucked away in the business section but a statement (not news worthy) from a fraudulent failed left-wing politician takes pride of place on the news home screen, It that what you call balanced reporting?
