THE UNI-NEWS UNIVERSE…

Biased BBC’s Alan notes that out of the mouths of babes and Guardian journalists comes this:

‘….the Mail, improbably, goes on to claim that if Labour succeeds in driving Murdoch out of business, “the public would be left with a barren media world dominated by the state-subsidised BBC and the Guardian.” I’m tempted to say: “I wish.” But I wouldn’t want that to happen either.’

No…Of course not.

The Guardian’s Michael White oozing praise for Tom Watson and revealing his deepest, innermost wish….a world in which only the Guardian and the BBC provide us with the News.

“When Gordon Brown announced his war against Murdoch he could never have dreamed he would be so successful…but when you have the world’s most powerful news organisation on your side along with a craven Tory PM ready to hand them the head of Rupert Murdoch to save his own I guess it might have always been a forgone conclusion.”

    Typically the danger to our democrasy doen’t enter into White’s champagne fuzzled little brain.

    Still what does he care? His gated community will never be invaded will it?

    There are essentially two political/economic systems.

    Parasitism, in which an elite rake off as much as they can from the serfs, and Meritocracy, in which those who are disciplined and hard working are rewarded, and societies become more prosperous and free as a result.

    Parasites are very keen that the elite have as much power as possible, and in democratic societies they try to get this power by promising people goodies fleeced from somebody else.

    It is called the politics of division. They build up a client base called the Public Sector.

    It does not work of course, because eventually people realize that if they are decent hard working folk they are the somebody else.

    The only people who benefit are the Leftist shits at the top. They bankrupt the country trying to bribe voters with their own money. The country becomes poorer and less free.

    The lie upon which the BBC is built is that everybody should be forced to pay for the BBC because only a Public Sector broadcaster can be neutral between the Parasites and the Meritocrats.

    In reality the sole function of the BBC is to justify the Parasites – which just so happens to include themselves.

    I have often felt Mr. White to be on occasion quite reasoned.
    Now that he has chosen to lay down with such a bedfellow in such a credulous manner, if married, as he raises the notion of attack dogs rather unwisely (and selectively, a BBC/Graun/Labour trait), I hope his wife is more tolerant of fleas than was his BFF bedfellow’s ex.

        This site is a valuable learning ground on the value of caveats. I now need to work on the adjective aspects, evidently.
        It would seem my experience of him with his political hat on has missed his ME prejudices, which appear consistently risible.
        However, if there can be a positive in this, from your link I now have yet more classic ammo from another shared venture into the wonderful world of BBC complaints weaseling…
        ‘Mr White is not a BBC journalist, and he was clearly introduced to listeners as a commentator from the Guardian newspaper.’
        That one sentence has so much to savour, from the one degree of separation attempt to the fact that it was attempted with a Graun hack as excuse, I may just have to lie down after my laughing fit.

          It was just before Christmas, I recall, that the Today programme ran a complete hatchet job on Newt Gingrich. One of the many dubious excuses offered in reply to my complaints was that no BBC commentator actually said anything negative about Gingrich in the item; they just played clips of other people saying negative things about him.

          Get your head around that!

            The BBC really does confuse excuse with reason when it tries to hide behind those they invite being only invited on to say what they would wish to but may have to say ‘I’m sowwwwy’ for (though not always) if doing so directly.

            Possibly due to my watching reviews more on SKY, and being treated to such as the pervasive ‘How, Lord? Boateng now, or cheeky ‘man of the people’ Sam Delaney to be told how to think.
            The few times I have seen him he seemed rather down on the media’s representation of things for reasons of tribal fealty or ratings which, while obviously masochistic (if trying to elevate himself from the pack) seemed OK to me.
            However, what has been shared shows, factually, with URLs, that he is up to his neck in the mire. I imagine he is a BBC Green room regular.

    The BBC credo amounts to

    or

    “Take money from other people because I deserve it because I am envious”

    Neither reason seems a good justification me. Go away you narcissistic twat would seem to be the only rational response.

    Another way of looking at White’s piece is to question why he felt he had to address the question of Tom Watson overstepping the mark in the first place. Could there be some substance to this?
    The Guardian conclusion is to be expected, in that Watson is portrayed as a man of high moral standards having to work with meddling Tories, but we all know Watson is shamelessly Gordon Brown’s hitman with his own agenda from day one, pretending he is otherwise is shameful nonsense, but what else do we expect from the Guardian…

    About a year has passed since I saw a question about what use this website is, except as a place to vent anger and exercise egos. So again, will the organisers please tell us why the appalling state-funded bias is still in full cry, and what you have actually accomplished?

      That a very good question.

      You could of course ask the same question about this government, “What have they accomplished?”
      That is apart from upsetting Nadine, pie makers and taxable grannies.

      If you asked the same question about the previous government there is however a very, very long list, which there is not space for here. It would in fact take 13 years to detail in full.

      The fact is we are part of a club, a club that is growing here and on many other sites. It has to start somewhere Vevel and ‘venting anger’ and even yes ‘exercising egos’ is important if you believe the BBC is biased and I for one do. With a vengeance!

      ‘what you have actually accomplished?

      ‘Ask not what this website has done for you; rather what you have done and can do helping it in its mission to excise bias and inaccuracy from our national broadcaster’
      A call that could be made to those, by my reckoning, who seem better at lurking and have only now moved to talking.
      Please share all exchanges on BBC complaints made, though might one wonder if that ‘you’ suggests it may not be from the side expected?
      I’ll kick off with DB & DP getting Stuart Hughes’ boss to ‘fess up, albeit still unclear on whether anything got logged before that was swiftly swept under the carpet unofficially.
      I have a Newsnight Producer apologising for not actually reading a (again, still unlogged, and so far unexplained as to why) complaint and trying to show off in the pub. Currently up to Trust, along with several others where ‘we think we are right’ has been shown by fact, URL and page capture to be either incorrect or subject to clumsy cover-up.
      You?

      So no answer within a year, you say?

      I know that feeling. In two days’ time it will be one year exactly since I asked the BBC why it referred to clashes between Christians and Muslims in Cairo as ‘sectarian’.

      And on the 26th it will also be a year since I asked why – in response to an earlier complaint – the BBC lied by saying that a quote apropos the Stephen Lawrence trial that I asked them to justify was from an external site, when it was from a BBC news page.

      Answers came there none.

      You should think yourself lucky, velvel, that it hasn’t cost you £145.50 for the privilege of being ignored.

      How nice of you to drive by and pass judgment on something you haven’t read. You are Will Self and I claim my £5.

      What has this site accomplished in the last year? Only gotten loads of biased Beeboid tweets deleted, a couple of accounts closed, producers disciplined, drawn their attention to this site once more, and possibly other subtle changes to articles they won’t admit to. We wouldn’t want to take credit for the increase in charges of bias at the BBC from Telegraph or Mail writers who read this blog, of course.

      No, the BBC hasn’t been shut down yet, but if you don’t pay attention to what’s actually been going on and can’t bother to participate constructively, it’s difficult to take your criticism seriously.

    Did I hear him being introduced as “Sir ” Michael White on the BBC the other night?
    I saw him rant at Paul Staines/Guido Fawkes a while back on Newsnight…and he revealed himself as a trough-surfing gangster who dreaded competition…when he and his inner sanctum of Parliament were getting freebies and fat salaries to schmooze and dish the dirt for Labour.
    An odious little nomark.

    The BBC is a bit like Zimbabwe….out of control, oppressive but claims the ‘moral high ground’….no British, white politician would launch a mission to ‘save’ Zimbabwe because of past colonial associations….no Tory politician would tackle the BBC because it would be seen as a partisan attack on a much loved institution.

    The BBC despite its well known Left bias and Labour Party support cannot be touched by the Tories.

    Viewers have been brought up weaned on the BBC….David Attenborough is practically a member of the family, generations have been brain washed into thinking the BBC is the friendly voice of wisdom, the ‘Auntie’ dispensing knowledge and the correct world view.

    The BBC knows this and takes advantage of it….which is why Attenborough is wheeled out as the front man for the BBC’s climate change campaign.

    The BBC also know it would take a hugely damaging revelation to shatter that confidence and unaccountability….one that would give an excuse for the Tories for example to insist on changes at the BBC.

    This is why they spent £300,00 burying the Balen Report.

    If it could be proved that the BBC had incited terrorism and anti-Semitism and caused the deaths of Jews and British soldiers it would be a scandal that not even the BBC’s reputation could protect it from.

    May senior journalists would have their reputations ruined and BBC executives hauled in before a Leveson type inquiry to account for their actions.

    The BBC is at present almost unaccountable, it is vastly powerful with friends in high places, and ‘enemies’ who are too afraid to take it on.

    Murdoch was in a similar position until a small crack appeared in the dam and then the whole edifice came under attack and the politicians and other media weighed in.

    The BBC is in a similar position. Throwing its weight around, intimidating politicians, lying to the public about Europe, immigration, climate change, Labour economics and the end of Capitalism.

    This blog will not provide that nail in the BBC’s coffin but it allows critics of the BBC to share information and to realise that they are not the only ones out there who realise there is something dramatically wrong with the State Broadcaster.

    The answer could just be that Bob Dylan was right….’they will never print the truth because they have too much to lose.’

    A lot of people have vested interests in the BBC and believe despite its faults that their interests still mesh with those of Big Auntie.

    The right to lie in the service of power is guarded with considerable vigour and passion.

    I don’t think they know about Biased BBC in Mensa, but the BBC’s Orwellian Bias on Climate Change has been the main cause of growing awareness of BBC bias in Mensa. When the opinions of the core scientific specialists of the issue such as Atmospheric Physicists and Astronomers are ignored by the BBC because the morons at the BBC say they are not Climate Scientists, you can understand why.

    These are four snippets from articles in Mensa about the morons at the BBC.

    (1) A Complaint on behalf of Members of the Space special interest group of Mensa to the BBC about its abuse of Astronomy in the Climate Change Debate. The Space special interest group of British Mensa is debating Climate Change, the group has 350 members and although Mensa has no opinions a small group of us have collected facts and observations for the roll that Astronomy has on Climate Change.

    (2) Surprisingly the most blatantly biased statement by the BBC said that “Anthropogenic Global Warming is a fact” the IPCC using an assumption says “very likely” and the BBC which claims to be impartial says “fact“. This also does not come from the Royal Society. This evidence proves that the BBC takes a more extremely Biased view than the IPCC or the Royal Society and conflicts with the BBC Trusts claim that impartiality is important. This also now leaves open the possibility of legal action against the BBC Trust which has continually refused freedom of information requests for details of how this decision was made by what the BBC calls “the best scientific experts“. I suspect the decision was made by Environmentalists not by Atmospheric Physicists.

    (3) After this complaint and 1,600 other complaints about the less than academic one sided promotion of the Global Warming scare by the BBC, the BBC Trust gave out 15,000 new editorial guidelines to its staff when obviously the people appointed to the BBC Trust are part of the problem. If the Editorial Standards Committee of the BBC Trust is overtly biased then it is not fit to dictate Editorial Standards to BBC staff. In response to the above comments the BBC Trust said that they change the Editorial Standards at least every five years, which gives you an idea why BBC Staff just ignore Standards of Impartiality. My complaint was to be published in the BBC Trust Editorial Standards Committee Bulletin for October, but was pulled at the last minute after I gave them the comments above. The BBC Trust said that they would reply shortly and publish their findings in November. Nothing happened, my complaint remained in a twilight zone, the BBC unable to either uphold, or reject my complaint for fear of legal action I have no intention of wasting my time and money on, That is for others to consider. Finally after a most amazing excuse that although the evidence that the BBC is overtly biased was provided to me by the BBC in its communications with me, it was not mentioned or referred to in the BBC Trust Editorial Standards Committee’s finding. That is like saying we know we are biased but you can not take legal action against us because we will not include this in the monthly bulletin of the BBC Trusts Findings.

    (4) Since then we have seen two former BBC Journalists Michael Buerk and Peter Sissons explain why BBC Journalists who appear on our screens, seem to appear brainwashed and scientifically ignorant. They say that few show any curiosity about the science of Atmospheric physics or Solar Astronomy, in fact the most important BBC journalists for this subject are not scientists but are environmentalists with degrees in arts and the humanities, Buerk and Sissons both had the intelligence given curiosity to do there own scientific investigations, and found that the theory does not have the scientific proof for its core questions in the Scientific literature, and ignores the contribution of Astronomy. I was also made aware of a book called “Can we Trust the BBC” by Robin Aitkin (also a former BBC Journalist), and also a website http://www.bbcrefuseniks.co.uk for the many scientists and thousands of other people who have stopped paying there licence fee on principle due to this and other issues.

    So there you have it. The problem with the BBC is that it is dominated by the morons at school who only managed to cling on to their middle class lifestyle by taking dumbed down courses in the Arts and Humanities and then got a job at the BBC through an advert in the Guardian. If we still lived in a hideously white British meritocracy with Grammar Schools, these people would be doing the low paid menial jobs. So you can see why they support Labour and love immigration.

      The BBC and IPCC have a lot in common – completely dominated by leftists. In the case of the IPCC, it’s the WWF giving us a double-whammy: leftist/environmentalists and at the same time non-scientists, whilst of course relentlessly spinning the claim that the science is ‘settled’ because all the world’s top scientists who make up the IPCC say so.

      I could think of the BBC Trust as pretty much the top of the Vogon pile, only without the charm, or self-awareness.
      However, whilst still terrestrially bound they can remain equivalent to a small, mean, rather dim Labour council, with power to abuse and happy to do so. Only difference being they are incapable of being voted out, with or without their own 24/7 £4Bpa support.
      Thing is, they are destined for obliteration. The question is when, and who they take with them first.
      I fully intend to be long gone, well ahead of the BBC Ark.
