Norm Geras has a post up at Normbloglooking at something the BBC missed in their report on Ronaldo’s UN visit to Ramallah. Did he visit anywhere else, perhaps?

The Beeb’s version of Ronaldo in this story would almost convince me that he is building walls, not bridges. The BBC ebbs ever lower.
Slightly OT (but not really):
If it isn’t yet entered in your list of objectionable and meaningless terms, how about journalistic standards? Over on our side of the pond Newsweak just had a Gilligan moment, but at least they could bring themselves to retract it.
Yeah I’d definitely agree with you there! :rolleyes: I’ve set up a blog that links to yours, btw. Keep up the good work – the cracks are beginning to show! 🙂
OT. Did I correctly hear Stephanie Flanders on Newsnight just now, in a piece on the launch of the EU constitution vote no campaign, describe the latest poll showing 54% no to 30% yes as “a little worse” than a previous one showing 50% no to 31% yes? I think I did.
PS It’s on the video on the newsnight page – just over 1 minute in.
Lsten to the Giscard Estaing interview. Hes quite sure that if the french vote no, its over. The womanfrom the BBC is banging on about renegociations and plan B`s. unable to grasp that if it don`t fly its dead.

” PS It’s on the video on the newsnight page – just over 1 minute in.”
Thanks for that Marc.
I see that it wasn’t an off-the-cuff slip made during a live on-camera discussion but a pre-recorded piece. Somehow it made it through the editing process without anyone flagging it. Why am I not surprised?
I suppose Ms Flanders’ worldview can be guessed at based on her work experience at the US Treasury (under Clinton), the NY Slimes and the UN:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/3094355.stm
She attended Harvard. Figures just out show that the staff at Ivy League universities in the US donated some $15 to 20 to John Kerry for every dollar to Bush. A reasonable measure of the bias in the world-view they try to inculcate to their students.
She should have gone to Chicago, to learn economics properly.

On the issue Flanders’ background, indeed on the backgrounds of MSM journalists in general, Mark Steyn hits the nail on the head again. Although he’s talking about the American MSM it is very much pertinent to the UK:
http://www.radioblogger.com/#000696
“If you’re in a regular town in America, and you’re sitting at the lunch counter, and you’re talking to people, there will be someone who’s got a brother in the military, someone who’s got a husband in the military, you don’t have to go far to find those kind of contacts. What’s astonishing is the media now, recruits from such a narrow sliver of American society, that it doesn’t actually have a lot of direct experience of people like that. And that’s the problem here, that it’s become this upper middle class profession, where they regard themselves as an elite college of cardinals. That’s what’s killing them.”
Re: Stephanie Flanders. But she is hot.
NJW – So’s the neutron bomb.
“She should have gone to Chicago, to learn economics properly.”
U of C has won more nobel prizes in the last 20 years than all British Universities put together.
OT- nice comment on the BBC and Galloway
http://news.scotsman.com/opinion.cfm?id=544202005
Good piece on Oliver Kamm today about the “British Back-Scratching Corporation”: http://oliverkamm.typepad.com/blog/2005/05/british_backscr.html
and the presence of the BBC’s Bob Wylie on GG’s recent trip to Washington (as if having Clive Mylie there to fawn over him wasn’t enough). Of course no mention was made on the news broadcasts of Wylie and Galloway’s long professional association.
The only way to defeat these bastards is just not to pay the telly tax.
OT
In the States, a bunch of liberal activists decided to make a documentry about the bias of fox news.
They recorded various shows, and used a compilation of objectionable clips to make an hour long documentry (outfoxed)
Perhaps biased-bbc should do the same?
The guy who covered Gorgeous’ appearance in the Senate was a close personal friend of the man?
Oh Lord, I thought even the Beeb wouldn’t stoop this low.
I guess I was wrong.
“I thought even the Beeb wouldn’t stoop this low.”
How naive! All of the 2.8 Billion extorted from UK citizens is used to harm those who hate collectivism, and long to be free of collectivist control.
Don’t just not pay the TV-Tax, spread the word, on how biased and harmful they are, and how easy it is to avoid funding this cancerous organisation.
Monkey,
Yeah, cut and paste. Typical liberal documentary. Just like Michael Moore’s Farenheit 9/11.
Yes, I …er… acquired “Outfoxed” and, as I expected, they created a premise and only used footage that supported that premise. Neither fair nor balanced. Watched it once and deleted it.
Don’t you think it’s time we had two separate professions: journalism and opinionism.
Then Andrew Marr would be introduced on the ten o’clock news as “Our Chief Opinionist” and people would perhaps realise they were listening to opinions and not facts.
Lolz – I’m not a great fan of fox news, but I’d think it was fantastic if you guys did the same with the BBC.
Isn’t it a criminal offence not to pay the telly tax though? I just have a terrestial tv, we don’t have satellite. Maybe I should persuade my family to chuck this one and get a sattelite/digital one….
