A new one of these for you!

Start the week with a new one of these on-time!!! What has been bothering YOU with the BBC this morning? The floor is yours…

Monday morning on the biased BBC and Osborne meets Naughtie. The BIG point that the BBC want to hear Conservatives repeating is that they will force “the rich” to pay even more in taxes than they already do. I suppose Osborne is triangulating a bit when he says that he WILL make them pay more insofar as this can be achieved by reducing the top rate of tax a bit and thus encouraging people to reduce their efforts to avoid hanging over the fruits of their endeavours to Government but from a BBC perspective, it is clear they salivate over the very concept of soaking the rich. Maybe they should send some of their world class reporters across the channel to France to see how Hollande is getting on with his plan to achieve a similar result? Or, to save us money, just ask Estate Agents in London?

Wonder what you make of this cheerily pro Palestinian puff piece from the unbiased BBC?

Wonder how the BBC views THIS then….? Just WHAT has been covered up by the BBC? Isn’t it time for a Judicial-led Independent Leveson style enquiry? BBC seemed keen on that when it came to the Murdoch empire so am sure they will will agree. Hang on, Patten has ruled it out….

Last week, as Labour prepared for their conference, the BBC shilled about how “united” they were. One week on, as the Conservatives prepare for their conference, the meme is “division”…oh, and “cuts”….

“Further cuts to welfare, including curbs on housing benefit, may be needed to help fight the deficit, David Cameron has warned. Speaking on first day of the Conservative Party conference, the prime minister said housing benefit may be reviewed for under-25s.

He promised “further action” to ensure the rich “pay their fair share”. But senior Tories have ruled out a tax on expensive properties or a one-off “wealth tax” backed by the Lib Dems.

The BBC love the class war angle and depressingly Cameron serves it up to them.

There is some background work happening aimed at keeping the site stable so please bear with us. A team of people is working on this to ensure all the issues are fixed! In the meantime, a new OPEN thread…

I was on the BBC earlier this morning talking through last evening’s Presidential debate. It was bad, real bad, for Obama and even Mark Mardell was forced to accept that Romney “won.” So cue solemn music and black armbands. The new line is to say that whilst Romney may have “won” the debate, if the polls do not shift in his favour he will have lost! LOL – wonderful stuff and assumes that we all believe the pro-Obama polls.

Well, better late than never! Here you go, BBC been annoying you?

I was invited to read this article which alleges BBC bias against the NHS. It’s quite detailed, cannot say I agree with it myself, but I want to post bias from various perspectives. Give it a whirl and my thanks to Jamie for sharing.
