Kiera Feldman, the BBC’s new recruit from left-wing activist radio, isn’t the only recent addition to the Corporation’s staff in America.
Matt Danzico began his job as a US BBC interactive journalist in April. His current job description:
Write, shoot, edit, and produce text and multimedia stories for the BBC News website. Conduct research and interviews with individuals on topics ranging from media and culture to science and technology.
Here are some of Danzico’s tweets (click image to enlarge):
Another April starter was Daniel Nasaw, online journalist for the BBC’s Washington bureau. Prior to taking up his new role Nasaw spent a couple of years reporting about America for The Guardian, whose worldview he still touts:
Here he is writing about a Newsweek cover which showed Sarah Palin in cycling shorts last November:
Let’s focus our attention not on her legs but on her far-right political ideology, her baseless attacks on Obama, her attacks on women’s reproductive rights and her effort to purge moderates from the Republican party.
Hmm, no agenda there then.
My message to the news media: We are under enough fire as it is. Don’t let’s make our job even harder by giving Palin and her millions of supporters a legitimate grievance.
Let’s see where that measures: 
Yes, quite.
Partisan reporting from the US? We ain’t seen nothing yet, apparently.
Update 19.45. In the comments Craig points out that another of the BBC’s April intake (so much for reining in spending) was former Newsweek political correspondent Katie Connolly (Twitter account here). Things may be bleak for journalists in America but at least left-wing hacks know that there’s always the chance of a job at the BBC where they can pursue their agendas protected from the horrors of the free market.
It gets worse and worse. Some of these new people sound like immature Obama groupies.
Maybe people at Fox News should be told – Bill O’Reilly had a run-in with the BBC some years ago after he attacked their bias. Fox describes all the US networks as being biased to the left – they ought to be adding the BBC channel that viewers in the US can see to their list of biased channel opponents.
I was one of those who bubbled that tool Greg Palast to Fox News when the mong did the Newsnight crap about Bush ‘stealing’ the election, they really tore into Palast.
OMFG. See what I’m up against? Thank goodness for this site.
Nice post, thing is why isn’t the right wing press picking up on this stuff? The Daily Mail seems obsessed with Mark Thompson and his expenses, but this is the real story, the BBC employing left wing vermin who then ‘pretend’ to be neutral.
Sadly, the press won’t go after each other on something like this. It’s too incestuous, as they’ve all worked with or for each other at one time, or will do in the future.
More fine sleuthing DB!
Both are twitter buddies of our old friend Katie Connolly, who also began in April. What an intake!!!
Incestuous indeed.
They’re hopelessly partisan and incredibly biased, both of them. They ought to fit right in at the BBC. Just think, these two won’t need too much indoctrinating in left-wing, politically-correct bullshit, ultimately saving us money. Aunty is so good to us.
It turns out that Matt Danzico was an Obama campaign volunteer who then set up a blog “out of excitement over the recent change in government” to encourage him to keep his election promises:

He was also busy getting out the vote on election day.
Well spotted.
So the BBC US website now has a 10-strong team. We know that three of them – Matt Danzico, Daniel Nasaw and Katie Connolly -seem to be biased beyond redemption. It would be good to find out who the other seven are!!!

Good find. Check out the “Ratings” section, where people can rate how the President has been donig so far on various things. Not very positive at all, poor dears.
The BBC’s gene pool could do with a dose of fresh blood. Which is very unlikely given the prime objectives the system demands.
Where’s the political diversity?
I wonder which one of them wrote this piece of pure gossip:
Levi Johnston seeks Sarah Palin’s old job in Wasilla
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10930423
(Katie Connolly tweets reveal an ongoing obsession with Levi Johnson and Bristol Palin.)
When there’s so much real news out there, why are the Obama Brigade at BBC Washington Online wasting precious space on their website with this sort of trivia?
Except to try and discredit Sarah Palin of course.
And to distract from Obama’s failure.
My brother suggested I might like this blog. He was totally right.
This post truly made my day. You can not imagine simply how much
time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
