Bishop Hill has blogged on the BBC’s response to concerns about the Horizon programme which shamefully stitched up James Delingpole. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions. All I would add is that it shows yet again, the utter dishonesty and bankruptcy of the BBC approach to climate change.
BBC RESPONDS…

I was contemplating lodging formal complaints about the errors and bias in the Horizon and Monckton docs. Of course these would take several hours to write – would probably have to sit thru that garbage again to compile a list of specific errors and blatant bias – just wondering if that would be worth while. Or would they just get thrown in the bin by some junior beeboid?
No. If persistent and the complaint is hard to dismiss, it will ricochet around and, slightly, up the greasy pole until, if you are lucky, a snotty note will arrive saying that if you really are not satisfied still, then Helen Boaden stands ready to receive you views.
At which point this senior Beeboid’s junior gofer will then throw it in the bin. And there you are totally stymied, presuming by this time you have remembered the issue has not been resolved.
But it will be ‘logged’ and ‘mentioned’ at their next feepayer funded group hug at a 5* bonding seminar before being lobbed on the fire with a few score more licence fee payments.
Because they’re worth it.
And unique.
If you copy your complaint to relevant parties it wouldn’t go void.
It could contribute to the basis for a national petition calling for Her Majesty’s Government to institute a public inquiry into allegations of BBC bias, if that ever comes about, which there is a possibility that it might. The pipe-dream is that if 100,000 names are collected and HMG doesn’t respond, the next step is to withold the license fee till the public inquiry is instituted.
Hey! Sometimes dreams do come true! 🙂
