    The Orwellian term ‘false balance’ between ‘scientists and sceptics’ is a Cack-handed moronic attempt to get around the BBC Charter obligation to provide balance.

    A big problem that this gives the BBC is that so called sceptics Peter Lilly and Graham Stringer, the only two parliamentarians with scientific qualifications, will remain censored by the BBC, because they could be described as more sceptical than Lord Lawson, who as with 25 of the BBC’s ‘best scientific experts’ did not have any scientific qualifications.

    In that case we have the only two parliamentarian scientists, censored by the BBC because they are sceptics, while on the other we have environmental activists who are not to be censored by the BBC because they have been described by the BBC as the ‘best scientific experts’.

    An Orwellian attempt to mislead Parliament by the BBC must be Justification enough for a cross party inspired investigation into the BBC by MI5.

    I am advised that I have not broken any laws, the information disclosed by me about the BBC’s complaints department was obtained from the BBC, other information about the BBC not published by the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, will not be disclosed to me because of legal issues, and for me to publish the article ‘BBC Censorship’ on this site would need permission from Mensa.

    Anyway, the above BBC ‘false balance’ lunacy is enough evidence to prove that the BBC has broken its Charter obligations in a big way. Because the survival of the BBC now depends on everyone within the BBC, Guardian and Independent bubble of ignorance, not noticing that there are any sceptics with scientific qualifications.

    And a false balance between fact and opinion cannot work if Lord Lawson’s opinion is that all ten or more year old computer models with ten year predictions, have been proved to have been wrong, because that opinion is a fact.

    The BBC is being duplicitous. Of course most “climate scientists” believe in AGW. Take away “global warming” (sic) and their entire field of academic interest would vanish.

    The useful criticism of their folly will inevitably come from those who are not part of the belief system, as it does with other bogus faiths such as Marxism, sociology, Freudian psychology et al. The BBC defining any such critics as “cranks” guarantees a single view being broiiadcast.

    Exactly as it is designed to.

    wait until the 272 BBC employees return from their jaunt to Brazil then the BBC will begin the climate change propaganda and how its bad for the planet to let Joe Public holiday abroad or drive to work. Yet its never bad for the planet when the media luvies and their friends fly off 4 times a year for their holidays or even fly to work like the head of Green Piece does. Or indeed the thousands of people travelling from all over the world for the Olympics , World Cup etc.

    NY writer Daniel Greenfield, today, In Frontpagemag.com:

    “In other news, the BBC plans to ban Galileo since the consensus is that the sun revolves around the earth, and anyone who disagrees with the consensus is just a crank who hates science.”

    More on Orwellian BBC, and its denial of the truth:-
    ” BBC Journalists’ Re-education”
    [Opening excerpt]:-

    “ ‘The BBC issues a call to reason,’ proclaims Politico’s Dylan Byers, referencing a Telegraph story published over the holiday weekend. The truth, however, is a bit more complicated. The story is about a new BBC policy of sending its journalists to re-education seminars to learn how to cut balance out of the Beeb’s broadcasts. It’s notable that the trustees at the BBC found any balance to cut. But more important is how general the policy is.

    “Byers’s headline is “
    ‘Ignore the climate change deniers,’ which is how this story has generally been interpreted: as a call to stop featuring those who depart from the consensus on climate science. Byers isn’t wrong to pick up on that, as global warming does seem to be the driving force behind this new policy. But it isn’t limited to that, and whatever one thinks about that particular issue, are journalists really going to cheer a broad new policy to strike dissenting voices from news broadcasts?”
    -By Seth Mandel.
