BBC reports that:
“Swine flu spread ‘not sustained'”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8030859.stm
BUT, the BBC’s panic-induced reporting was sustained until 10 minutes ago, with its top story on UK webpage:
“UK swine fever cases increase to 15”
HOWEVER, that all miraculously now becomes:
“Swine flu spread ‘not sustained'”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8030307.stm
Does the BBC know what its doing?

Hey guys, I love the new website. 🙂
Now what I’m gonna mention is not really bias.
“Tonight’s the Night
BBC 1 Scotland
Singer Ronan Keating, I’d Do Anything winner Jodie Prenger and the cast of West End musical La Cage aux Folles join presenter John Barrowman to entertain viewers and make more dreams come true for members of the studio audience. Bingo callers compete against firefighters in Workplace Wonders, and another mystery celebrity competes against the host in the Stagefright Challenge SUB HD”
Is this something you’d love to watch on a Saturday night (and not mind paying for)?

Great new look – and you look quite beatific in your new photo David!
Pennies drop slowly with me sometimes.
I needed Peter Oborne in the Telegraph to bring to the front of my mind something I half-thought as soon as I first heard about it.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1176438/PETER-OBORNE-So-hand-Brown-loaded-revolver-bottle-whisky.html
The House of Commons Treasury Committee published its report on the Banking Crisis & blamed it all on the bankers.
“But,” as Oborne says, “there's one massive hole in its findings: no mention of government failure. This perhaps come as no surprise, since the Labour-dominated committee is chaired by John McFall, a long-standing ally of Gordon Brown. By blaming the banks, McFall and his committee are helping to distract attention from the Government's political ineptitude.”
Pennies drop even more slowly with the BBC, whose report on the Treasury Committee’s whitewash failed to raise any such queries. Indeed it’s fair to say that it was a whitewash itself:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8026589.stm
Did any of your busy bloggers hear any reporter or any interviewer on any of the BBC’s many news programmes raise a single one of Oborne’s points? Wouldn’t you have thought they should – if, that is, you didn’t realise just how biased the BBC is? All I heard from the taxpayer-funded Beeb suggests they swallowed the McFall report whole and regurgitated it as gospel.
Just why did Peston & co. not think to question the Committee’s findings? Like your average Today contributor, I will now speculate. Was it deliberate? We know just how unhealthily close Robert Peston, for example, is to the Brown government, & this report certainly served the Brown government. Was it merely sloppy journalism? (No pennies at all). Was it because the view that bankers are the one-and-only root of all our economic ills is entirely to your average Beeboid’s pre-conceived, leftist mindset?
(Fingers crossed that this works!!)
