Calling BVU&amp;rsquo;s statements &amp;sbquo;allegations&amp;rsquo; also makes it clear that you ARE taking a side, just stop saying that it is balanced. Obviously you do not realise how biased you are - and fair enough, you don&amp;rsquo;t have to be unbiased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/aggbug?PostID=143007&amp;AppID=5&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Vets begin strike action at South Wales practice</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/b/veterinary-news/posts/vets-begin-strike-action-at-south-wales-practice</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 Aug 2024 18:45:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3e0e3a18-1768-4170-9180-9a4d41fe3f7d</guid><dc:creator>Arlo Guthrie</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;[mention:fc778d3cc867494e81dcf7bfde40199a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]&amp;nbsp;I don&amp;rsquo;t have to be balanced either, certainly no more balanced than the left wing Guardian or the right wing Telegraph. But as it happens, I think I was completely balanced. I certainly don&amp;rsquo;t have any reason to support either side in this dispute. I simply took the allegations made to me by the BVU and asked VetPartners to respond to them, and reported its response. I am at a loss to understand why you think that was biased. Is it that you would only think an article is balanced if it leans heavily towards the &amp;lsquo;evil, money-grabbing corporate&amp;rsquo; narrative?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/aggbug?PostID=143007&amp;AppID=5&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Vets begin strike action at South Wales practice</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/b/veterinary-news/posts/vets-begin-strike-action-at-south-wales-practice</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 Aug 2024 13:45:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3e0e3a18-1768-4170-9180-9a4d41fe3f7d</guid><dc:creator>podenka</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Just to add a bit more balanced view please have look at this news from The Guardian&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/aug/18/vets-extend-strike-in-first-industrial-action-to-hit-britains-pet-care-sector"&gt;www.theguardian.com/.../vets-extend-strike-in-first-industrial-action-to-hit-britains-pet-care-sector&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/aggbug?PostID=143007&amp;AppID=5&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Vets begin strike action at South Wales practice</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/b/veterinary-news/posts/vets-begin-strike-action-at-south-wales-practice</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 Aug 2024 13:43:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3e0e3a18-1768-4170-9180-9a4d41fe3f7d</guid><dc:creator>podenka</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;I do not feel this is balanced post. Much more voice is given to the corporate than to BVU and I know that BVU has passed to Arlo much more information than mentioned.
