    It’s September 12th, so that means there are some Tea Party protests around the country.  You know the ones I mean:  those gatherings of potentially violent extremists who want to bring the country back to the 19th Century.

    Here’s a report from the Tea Party rally in St. Louis.  Unofficial count:  14,000 racists who hate the fact that we have a black President.  Includes photos of said haters, but I guess they censored out all those signs with racist slogans and threats of violence.

    Seriously, though, check it out and ask yourself if the BBC has been honest with you or not.

    apologies if this link has been already posted (some 97 comments here) but this interview is a good one. I tried to imagine such an interview on BBC….

    ‘Jihadwatch’ provides critical analysis to INBBC’s dutiful ‘reporting’ on Islamising Turkey:

    Turkey: Referendum on track to pass, eroding independence of secular-minded judiciary

    Still on a SKY boycott for their risible sh*t-stirring over the pastor non-news.

    So I tune into a broadcaster whose output grinds out irrespective of viewership.

    Most of the time seemed to be devoted to the critical tale of a lady who went from sounding like Jade’s elocution teacher to the cast of ‘All ‘Allo.

    Very sad, I am sure, but ‘foreign accent syndrome’ seems more the stuff of a filler on News 24’s graveyard slot, IMHO.

    Then we get to the only ‘meaty’ story of the day… CUTS!!!!

    Now I am as dubious about much of the coalition is up to as the next person, but the now endless, predictable, non-stop wailing by a public-funded media entity about how horrible the prospect of reducing the grotesque excesses of a decade of public spending will be is… a smidge erring on conflict of interest.

    Especially when only conceding some possible mis-steps in terms of bankers bonusses after bail-outs which, I seem to recall, happened on the watch of a shambolic bunch eagerly supported then… and still.

    And while it is true that this coalition really does not have a coherent mandate from the people, a) I don’t recall most in it saying they do, b) what cobbled coalition does and c) just what the heck sensible and/or positive have the BBC, Labour and the unions got to offer by way of alternatives to spending money that doesn’t exist on more of their discredited policies and cosy lifestyles?

    Isn’t it funny that St Vince Cable is now missing in action on the BBC? Remember how the BBC used to just LOVE hearing Vince’s sage words. The pint sized ponce Nicki Campbell used to sit cross legged in front of St Vince admiring every word.

    Now poor St Vince is a regular no more, yet St Vince used to talk about the deep cuts needed to get the economy on track.

    So what happened BBC mongs?
