BBC News London Riots Aug,6 2011



In this video youths are represented at their worst, they are depicted as violent, uncaring hoodlums. They smash the windows of a police car that was just sitting there and once finished damaging the exterior they search the interior and take anything they find. However, there at riots so of course the youths are not going to be presented in a positive light and it is unfair to group all youths together because of a select group.

They are not really interviewing anyone but are observing what is happening and are showing the most bad aspects of the rioting youths such as attacking the police car and taking the camera. I do feel that this broadcast is biased as it only focuses on the 'evil youths' what about the older generation that has been involved? Also they do nothing to counter balance it, what about other good projects that youths dominate?
