She has become a virtually omnipresent presence on BBC TV and Radio in recent days; I refer to the elfin Yvette Cooper. Her job is to open the attack line on Cameron via Coulson and this is exactly what she did on Today this morning if you listen here. The mission is “Get Cameron” and in one way I have no sympathy for him ever since he bottled any chance of reforming the State Broadcaster and gave us Chris Patten as the new Chairman of this malignant organisation. But that is NOT the only part of the BBC mission. Robert Peston is leading the charge against Murdoch Stateside, constantly recycling the notion that an investigating is pending over there with so many leading politicians (All Dems + Peter King) champing at the bit to try and dismantle Fox News. The self induced media storm is not going away as it claims victim after victim, remarkably confining itself to News International with nary a mention of wrong doing by ANY other media organisation. It is as if all the world’s ills are contained in NI and that is exactly the aim of those leading this jihad in the BBC. They are desperate to see Murdoch crushed and Cameron weakened – and I regret to say that these objectives look so much closer this week than just 7 days ago. Leaving aside my personal views of Cameron and Murdoch (not keen on either) I cannot help but repeat my sense of revulsion at the sight of the patronising BBC daring to allege that others are guilty of abuse of power when it is the biggest abuser of all, extorting £££billions from us each year and pumping out a toxic brew of liberal bias daily.
First, News of the World folds. Then, Rebekah Wade and Les Hinton resign Now Sir Paul Stephenson resigns. Cameron next and whither a general election? With Labour ahead in the polls and the BBC declaring Miliband has found his voice the question is whether the BBC/Guardian axis of hypocrisy is moving in for the kill and does the Prime Minister represent their ultimate target in the UK (In the US we know it is Fox News they want to destroy) This is shocking stuff, a perfect media sustained storm. Could the BBC/Guardian actually bring the Coalition down and if this is even a possibility doesn’t it prove that it is THIS axis which is the biggest threat facing the UK?
Robert Peston, as the Mail on Sunday pointed out today, is a media whore, happy to quaff the champagne and extensive private hospitality of Elisabeth Murdoch, and huddle conspiratorially there with his long-time buddy Will Lewis, the group general manager of News International. At the same time he has broken a strong of so-called revelations about the hacking affair, the latest of which has been posted this afternoon. Despite this clear concern about his position, the BBC are continuing to flaunt his works. He comments that the arrest of Rebekah Brooks is very bad news indeed for News Corp. Any journalistic organisation worth its salt and with any integrity would have quietly pushed him to the sidelines because of the clear conflict of interest. But not, of course, the BBC – it’s pretending as usual that because this story was in the Mail, it is left-wing garbage.
Meanwhile, Autonomous Mind, as ever with a very interesting slant on developments, spells out that back in 2003, the US journalist Michael Gonzalez, visiting the UK to report the aftermath of the David Kelly affair, spotted the real Guardian-BBC agenda: to smash forever News Corp so it would be free to dominate the UK with its liberal-left agenda. Nothing has changed, except now the BBC scents real blood and all its dogs – including Mr Peston – have been slipped from their leashes and are out to savage the Murdoch domain until the bitter end. Make no mistake, this is a battle for press freedom – and the BBC are not the good guys, blurred as some moral boundaries may be.
The current top story on the BBC’s US & Canada News page is about the President meeting with the Dalai Lama. How many people really care? I realize that this will probably get pushed down the page within a couple of hours as new stories are posted, but why is this even worth reporting at all? Surely there are far more important issues to cover. It’s very revealing of the BBC’s newsgathering priorities that a non-functional meeting with someone who isn’t head of state and isn’t ever going to be one is more important than, say, the news that Standard & Poors just upgraded the state of Ohio’s credit rating because the Governor passed a budget that will mostly fix the state’s economic troubles. Oh, but that’s a Republican Governor, while the Democrat-led US is about to get spanked by S&P instead.
No, the Beeboids love the Dalai Lama, their favorite ex-feudal lord, and so anything about him is more important than mundane economic issues, especially when it makes Republicans look good.
What else is the BBC ignoring in order to make room for celebrity gossip, non-stories about LA road construction, and a non-story about a possible technical glitch in the statehood status of North Dakota (this last one is actually pathetic in that a real story worth reporting is mentioned as an aside near the end: the movement to break Southern California away from the destructive far-Left Northern half. But again, that would be a real story that makes Democrat economic policy look bad, and we simply cannot have that at the BBC.)?
Lots of stuff to cover this week. The BBC thinks you don’t need to know about the following:
Remember when the President signed that “landmark” ObamaCare into law, the one which the BBC championed for ages and lied to you about how it would provide free health care for all those uninsured? One of the President’s favorite anecdotes in His fight for it was about how His mother battled evil profit-driven insurance companies while on her cancer deathbed. The BBC included that anecdote in their report of Him signing the bill into law. Turns out that it’s a little white lie. Book Challenges Obama on Mother’s Deathbed Fight
The White House on Wednesday declined to challenge an account in a new book that suggests that President Obama, in his campaign to overhaul American health care, mischaracterized a central anecdote about his mother’s deathbed dispute with her insurance company.
During his presidential campaign and subsequent battle over a health care law, Mr. Obama quieted crowds with the story of his mother’s fight with her insurer over whether her cancer was a pre-existing condition that disqualified her from coverage.
In offering the story as an argument for ending pre-existing condition exclusions by health insurers, the president left the clear impression that his mother’s fight was over health benefits for medical expenses.
But in “A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother,” author Janny Scott quotes from correspondence from the president’s mother to assert that the 1995 dispute concerned a Cigna disability insurance policy and that her actual health insurer had apparently reimbursed most of her medical expenses without argument.
And the BBC will be silent. While the BBC used to spend time searching for even a whiff of angry behavior from Tea Party groups and the Right, they always censor news of violence and violent rhetoric from the Left. Like in Wisconsin (remember Wisconsin?), where the Left is protesting against a non-Left State Supreme Court justice and has a big effigy of him being lynched at a lamppost. Nothing to see here as it’s not the Tea Party doing it, move along. There’s a whole story behind that about how one Justice attacked another in a “he said/she said” incident. The Left has behaved angrily and violently like they did when Gov. Walker was trying to pass a budget, but none of the intrepid platoon of Beeboids covering the US is interested in that kind of story.
Democrats in the US seem to be prejudiced against certain religious groups (just like the BBC), and are less likely to vote for a Mormon to be President. What a shock, eh? The BBC isn’t going to inform you about that kind of poll result because, well, you know….
Newly appointed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta – kicked upstairs from being CIA boss – just said that the reason the US went into Iraq was 9/11. Oops. BBC not interested. Gaffes are only worth reporting when George Bush or a Republican does it. Tax-dodging GE boss Jeffrey Immelt saw 36,000 jobs cut at his company in the last two years, and even sent jobs overseas (well, to Mexico anyway), but now that he’s the President’s Jobs Czar he is scolding business owners to start hiring whether it hurts their business or not. Hypocrisy from The Obamessiah Administration? BBC not interested in telling you.
The BBC has done plenty of reporting on how the dictator of Syria is cracking down on his people and killing protesters, but they have not told you about how the US Ambassador spoke out – on Facebook, no less – and got praised for it – by Syrians.
When was the last time the BBC mentioned the name of one of The Obamessiah’s top campaign fundraisers, Tony Rezko? Not since last summer when his name came up in a news brief ex-Gov. Blagojevich’s criminal trial, I think. Rezko is in jail and Blagojevich has been convicted. Now Rezko’s partner’s trial reveals the possibility of illegal payments to The Obamessiah.
Daniel Frawley has been convicted on massive bank fraud charges (unrelated to the campaign money fraud of the other two guys), but his sentencing is being delayed because he’s apparently been secretly cooperating with prosecutors about something else: Blagojevich’s abuse of power, which landed the ex-Gov in jail.
Details about Frawley’s cooperation with the U.S. attorney’s office, the FBI and the Illinois attorney general’s office can be gleaned from a 65-page court deposition he gave seven months ago in a legal-malpractice lawsuit that he filed against his former longtime lawyer, George Weaver. In the lawsuit, Frawley accuses Weaver of having overbilled him and telling him to “withhold certain information from the government” when he was cooperating with authorities.
You may well ask, what information was that?
That sworn statement, given Dec. 1, 2010, is posted at suntimes.com/news/watchdogs. In it, Frawley talks about three meetings he’s had with law enforcement authorities since 2006. The deposition outlines how he secretly recorded Rezko, and it raises a new and unsubstantiated question about Rezko’s once-close relationship with Obama — an issue that dogged the then-U.S. senator during his presidential campaign four years ago.
A relationship which the BBC casually dismissed. Too bad they’re not so casual about Tory friendships, eh? But I digress.
Later in the deposition, Weaver’s lawyer, Daniel F. Konicek, asks Frawley about what specific information Weaver is supposed to have told Frawley to withhold from federal authorities.
“I’m assuming the information is about the payments made by Rezko to Obama, so we know we’re talking about the right conversation, right?” Konicek asks Frawley.
Frawley doesn’t answer. So Konicek presses him: “Am I correct it was about Obama being paid by Rezko?”
Frawley replies: “I’m not answering that question, based upon my attorney’s instructions.”
Yet another revelation possibly tying The Obamessiah to fraudulent activity in Chicago, and the BBC isn’t bothered. If Frawley is getting his sentence lightened because of this cooperation, then it’s worth paying it heed. BBC: ZZZZzzzzzzzz
On Friday, the President claimed that 80% of the public“support an approach that includes revenues and includes cuts”. The problem is that He made it up. No polls back up this claim, and actually 50% of the public would prefer a deal with either only spending cuts, or mostly spending cuts and very little tax increase (that’s what “revenues” are when they’re at home). The 80% figure comes from a Soros/MoveOn.org poll of only Ohio, Montana, Missouri, and Minnesota, and is not meant to represent the majority opinion of the country. The Obamessiah lied again. BBC: Look over there: Republican intransigence!
An email has been “leaked” revealing the Obamessiah Administration’s real goal of Operation “Fast and Furious”/”Gunwalker”/”Gunrunner”: passing more restrictive gun control laws.
“Can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same FfL and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks Mark R. Chait Assistant Director Field Operations.”
Which is what I’ve been saying all along, and which the BBC has censored all along. Instead, when reality forced them to report on the heat the ATF has been getting over this scandal, they dutifully shifted blame away from Him. Since the BBC is ideologically set against private gun ownership of any kind, and must support Him at all costs, they’ve treated this story with the softest of kid gloves. When they haven’t buried the story completely, that is.
On Wednesday, the debate between the President and Republican House leaders got so heated that He walked out. The BBC reported that He told them, “Enough is enough,” but they censored out this part:
“Don’t call my bluff,” the president said. “I am not afraid to veto and I will take it to the American people.”
I guess that finely-tuned brain of His doesn’t know you’re not supposed to tell them you’re bluffing. Another Obamessiah gaffe hidden from you by the BBC. As the ABC report I’ve linked to shows, He’s willing to sink the entire country for His class war ideology, and the BBC is blaming only the Republicans’ ideology (and dishonestly portraying it as protecting the rich, full stop) instead.
That’s enough for the week, I suppose. Does anyone feel properly informed by the BBC about US issues? The solution to all this is simple: Shut down the BBC’s newsgathering operation in the US and replace them all with a news aggregator. You’ll be better informed about what’s going on over here.
“The BBC is set to spend thousands on a “comedy conference” at a leading arts venue while its sparkling new multi-million media hub nearby is half empty. It has announced the event will be in The Lowry centre, Salford, parts of which cost more than £7,000 a day to hire, excluding catering. The October conference, close to the Corporation’s flagship northern home in MediaCityUK, where the BBC is struggling to attract staff, will also involve Channel 4, ITV and Sky.”
Biased BBC has readers all over the world. Such is the malign influence of the BBC that it annoys people in places other media providers just can’t reach – take Scotland. North of the border, the BBC is just as annoying as in this instance kindly provided me by a B-BBC reader.
“The BBC are terrified of the SNP and their choice of picture accompanying this item tells it all.
The article is actually about the SNP reminding the coming hacking “inquiry” about previous findings that seem to have been ignored. The article then goes on to repeat Labour smears on the SNP and their contacts with NI – talk about pots and kettles!
Is she a woman more spinned against than sinning? The BBC certainly has no interest in finding out. But why?
“News International, parent company of the best-selling Sunday tabloid said that its chief executive Rebekah Brooks had her own voicemail hacked while she was editor of sister newspaper The Sun. “News International can confirm that Rebekah Brooks was recently shown documents by the police that proved she was a victim of illegal voicemail interception,” the British newspaper arm of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp media empire said. News International said the documents related to a period around 2005 when Brooks, the first female editor of the Sun, was married to actor Ross Kemp, who was famous for playing Grant Mitchell in the long-running BBC soap EastEnders.’
A fact that is fairly relevant in the context and yet I certainly haven’t heard anything mentioned about it on any discussion about hacking on BBC radio.
The story is buried in a BBC article about Ryan Giggs suing NOTW ..why would she allow herself to be ‘hacked’ if she knew the NoW private investigator was doing such things, especially at a time when she was in the headlines herself.
It might suggest she didn’t know about ‘hacking’…a suggestion the anti Murdoch BBC might not want to propagate. But, of course, were that true, it would be evidence of systemic BBC bias which we all know does not exist since impartiality is in their DNA.
UPDATE; Brooks has now been arrested as this strange non-story created traction between Leftist MSM and Police.
Wasn’t it an unwelcome surprise to see Gordon Brown return to the BBC after some of us had hoped that the electorate had driven a stake through his heart that would see him banished in perpetuity ? A Biased BBC reader informs
“For two days the BBC treated us to Gordon Brown’s rants about the Sun reporting his son’s illness…reported as if every word revealed a sacred truth distilled from the great mind of this economic genius, the moral titan that bestrides British politics, a fallen hero cruelly treated by a world that he saved from economic ruin.
Except that most commentators believed not only was the angry Brown wrong in his assertions but that his intervention destroyed a developing bipartisan relationship across the parties to deal with the developing media crisis. Finally today someone managed to slip in an off message note of outrage at his hijacking of the occasion.
Anna Soubry, a Conservative, talking here on ‘Week in Westminster’ stated that many people in the Commons were extremely angry over Brown’s rant and that it was a setback to the cross party atmosphere developing. She addes that Brown’s speech was merely the settling of old scores, a rewriting of history and a very, very dark moment. Strangely the BBC didn’t seem to pick that up at all. I wonder why?
Andy Coulson may have authorised payments to police officers or the hacking of phones but he has not been charged or convicted yet….except in the BBC’s kangaroo court where verdict and sentence have already been pronounced and Cameron castigated for bad judgement by the BBC. The same BBC that, as has been noted before, has quite happily employed Alistair Campbell. The same BBC that we can see now trying to re-establish Labour’s jacqui Smith in the public’s consciousness as an uporight and respectable person. The same Jacqui Smith that defrauded the public taxpayer of £116,000. Whilst many of her fellow MPs are now residing in jail she roams free in the corridors of the BBC….once again receiving fat cheques paid for by public generosity. She was given a platform to talk about pornography, she has been a regular on the sofa with Michael Portillo on the political programme ‘This Week’ and today appears on ‘Saturday Live’ to talk about her inheritance tracks. Hopefully no one will inherit her house (which ever one she decides is her main residence) as it must surely belong to the state now.
BBC coverage of Islam is done with such sensitivity, such consideration, one could almost be forgiven for thinking that the BBC is horrifically dhimmified. A Biased BBC reader notes;
“BBC only show programmes that are sensitive to Muslim sensibilites……they must be horrifed that Islamically ‘insensitive’ programmes are being beamed into the heart of the Muslim world….by Muslim, Middle Eastern channels….sense the outrage.
An article in the Times today (Saturday) reveals that Writer and producer of a 30 episode TV programme,Halla Diyab, has fled to Britain after being persecuted for speaking out against the Burkha…..why hasn’t Woman’s Hour leapt on this human interest story?
The TV programme is called ‘Your Rightful Disposal’…after a verse in the Koran that talks of enslavement of women. It has won two awards in the Middle East. It tackles subjects such as homosexuality, sexual and physical abuse, the burkha, virginity and extremism…surely all fertile BBC ground?
The central character is a woman who moves to France from the Middle East and shows us the liberation she experienced when she removed her burkha. Ahh…that’s why the BBC are not interested. keep ’em covered girls. It’s your culture.
‘Religious scholars want to silence women’ she tells us. But it’s not about religion….it’s sectarian or culture or tribal or….whatever, just not Islam.
Let’s move on! Ask the BBC who Halla Diyab is….’Sorry, there are no results for your search.’
Who’d a’ thunk?”
