Obviously the BBC has not made much of this story…..I wonder why?
Britain’s Guardian newspaper was forced to apologise to Rupert Murdoch’s The Sun today for falsely alleging that the tabloid’s reporters doorstepped a lawyer at the phone-hacking enquiry.
In an unwelcome twist for the left-leaning paper which has led efforts to expose hacking at Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World weekly tabloid, the Guardian admitted in court that its front-page claim was wrong.
Oxford educated left wing Guardian hackette Marina Hyde (“one of the funniest and most admired journalists in the UK”) might be getting the smallest Oxfam charity Christmas card this year from her editor Alan Rusbridger who had to endure the humiliation of seeing his face spread over The Sun as the tabloid helpfully pointed out
Her piece was published by editor Alan Rusbridger without any checks or calls made to The Sun. Hyde’s false accusations were sent around the world on Twitter.
The much hyped Ms Hyde, the daughter of Sir Alastair Edgcumbe James Dudley-Williams, 2nd Baronet, blends in perfectly with the well born radical chic crowd at The Guardian burnishing their NW1 dinner party credentials by bashing the “rich” and the Tories. But it’s perfectly clear that this was a story that fitted so neatly into the Guardian’s Murdoch manic obsession she didn’t even bother to check it out.
Epic fail.
But her career will not suffer. Socialist hacks live in a risk free environment when it comes to peddling untruths because the golden rule of left wing journalism is that truth = what ought to be true rather than what is true. There will be no explosion of indignation from media colleagues for this shoddy piece of gimcrack “journalism”. No thundering broadsides from the BBC for it is now open season on Murdoch, not because of the hacking and blagging that anyway was probably par for the course for all tabloids, including the left wing Mirror – but because Murdoch and The Sun switched their support from Labour to the Conservatives in the final months of Gordon Brown’s tenure at No. 10 – and the many years of Murdoch supporting Labour were immediately conveniently airbrushed out of history.
Hence the lack of BBC interest in this story.
But imagine the outburst from the BBC if it had been a Sun reporter inventing stuff up about The Guardian. …..
Aaaaahhhhh….the sweet sense of liberal left hypocrisy in the morning…..
Very enjoyable read
what a big tit she is
The Guardian – as in bribing the Met to find out which NoW hack would be fingered next?
What do expect from the BBC?
Look at these headlines:
“BBC sought advice from global warming scientists on economy, drama, music… and even game shows”

For the first time in my life, I am considering cancelling my TV Licence DD – I feel as though I’m listening to some Eastern Bloc propaganda channel from the ’70’s!
There has to be enough evidence of bias, lies and double-dealing for it to stand up in a court of law now!
Sorry, didn’t add my name – quite new to this…..
No worries. Welcome!
And, as you may notice by a glance up and down, at least you have managed a proper name 🙂
My site – thank you 🙂
I suspect this particular web site is LESS biased that the actual BBC!
I recorded QT on Thursday (ended up not watching it..), and the first thing to appear was the tail end of the BBC ‘News’, and had Ed Balls speaking. On turn on the TV this morning, and Andrew Marr has Ed Balls on! Am I going mad – I see/hear him everywhere when tuning in to anything BBC-related!
Welcome to the site Chris. Most of the BBC output is all Balls anyway! 😀
The more people see of Ed Scrotum the more pathetic it makes the Liebore party/BBC look.
I suspect this particular web site is LESS biased that the actual BBC!
I would say we are TOTALLY biased in favour of truth, real facts, honesty, intelligence, and balance from the perspective of those values which have best served humanity to create excellence.
If nothing else, while most people here will be in agreement on certain issues, there is far less groupthink and more open-mindedness and variety of opinions on many issues than at the BBC.
Marina Hyde…wouldn`t be Boris Johnsons wife would it?
Not one of Andy Marrs or Ed Balls conquests either would she…or is that Alice Miles or Stephanie Flanders or whoever…or am I thinking of Jackie Ashley?
Heck it`s complicated isn`t it?…no wonder our news and opinions come from the pillow talk and adulteries of our betters at the BBC/Guardian and right thinking progressives of SW1/NW1.
A Satanic kibbutz, and all a bit creepy and incestuous…all those memes of Papa Dawkins will be bow legged and unable to breed…no bad thing then!
As I noted on the open thread (apropos of an article in today’s S Times) Adam Boulton (of Sky News) is married to Anji Hunter, Blair’s spin doctor.
Hyde and Rushbridger have a(n alleged) history. She was also a very, very, very good friend of Piers Morgan, and the latter it turns out has been caught with his fingers in the phone-hacking cookie jar, during his editorship of the Mirror.

And Marina Hyde is married to a Beeboid – one Kieran Clifton, according to wiki. He’s in charge of strategy for future media and IT!
I have to say that Morris Marina was excruciatingly funny in her reporting of the disaster that passed as an England football team which turned up in South Africa.
There again, she had loads of material to work with.
I’m no misogynist, but maybe Dr. Jekyll you should calm down dear – and stick to sport.
Fatty Abbott was on Sky this morning and stated she was on some TV question panel last week (And questions I presume) and that the Tory got booed by the audience.
Hasn’t she noticed the Tory always gets booed on the BBC?
‘the Tory got booed by the audience’
Probably deserved it if as wet as most seduced on by the siren whispers of a BBC producer without wondering why them vs. any who seem, well, popular or credible.
However, as you suggest she has, in her own unique foot in ample pie-hole way, raised the interesting dicrepancy between selected audience reaction to a daft Tory, vs. the prostration accorded any placed on a pedestal by their Master’s Voices.
Should be seeing less of her now that the panto season has started.
BBC haven’t noticed Alas Campbell’s evidence either. Lots re mirror but no doubt they’ll miss that
