HOW BIASED IS THE NOLAN SHOW?

13 Comments


HI folks – just popping in from the election trail to ask you your thoughts on BBC’s Stephen Nolan. You see, I’m returning the favour because Mr Nolan keeps talking about me on his election programmes. It’s as if he would like to try and damage my Party’s election chances by selective quotes from A Tangled Web but he NEVER quotes from Biased BBC. I think this is such a shame such is the richness and accuracy of comment here. SO…If you listen to Nolan on any BBC airwaves why not detail your thought about his impartiality, or lack of, so his little researchers can have some more material for their boss. Next week, I meet him on air, so the talking will be to my face, not behind my back.

INFLATED BBC BIAS

Guido Fawkes noticeshow upset the BBC are when the mainstay of our economy is not split asunder andthe bankers not fleeing on their private jets to sunny tax exile…..

‘The speculation that the Vickers Commission was going to force the banksabroad by breaking them up clearly got the better of some hacks sympathetic tothe idea. At his press conference earlier John Vickers fielded questions fromthe all the financial press scribes. Not one mentioned a perceived failure tosplit up the banks adequately until the not-for-profit BBC waded in. BothPeston and Paul Mason opened fire. Mason had a rant about “casino banking” andPeston accused them of “bottling it”. Guido’s eyes and ears in the roomdescribed the contrast with everyone else’s questions as “striking”…’

BBC BIAS ROUND UP

Oh no. After hyping up the great evil of Conservative created inflation all morning….comes the news that it has fallen. BBC Gutted. What to do? Well, can we ever forget how evil the British were in KENYA when putting down insurrection there? Not if the BBC can help it 😉 Shouldn’t David Cameron apologise and pay reparations? Meanwhile, buried away on regional news, we read about the shockingly callous behaviour of NHS staff, thanks to Channel 4 uncovering it. Elsewhere, BBC delight in David Cameron’s “mistake” over the number of black students at Oxford University. Wonder why the intrepid reporters never stopped to question WHY only 452 students out of a population of MILLIONS gained the necessary “A” level qualifications to even be considered? Might there be another issue in play here that the State Broadcaster chooses to downplay? Finally, on a much more parochial basis, my political party had it’s manifesto launch yesterday. The BBC turned up for the event and then, on their main news, gave us about 30 seconds. That’s 29 seconds more than I was expecting. Remember – these professionals are impartial to the core, it’s in their DNA you know!

TRUSTING THE BBC?

It’s all about who YOU choose to believe – take it on trust, the BBC Trust.

First – consider the comments of Recep Erdogan, PrimeMinister of Turkey who stated that democracy was like a bus: “You ride it until youarrive at your destination, then you step off.”  What other gems has he delighted us with? Islam means Jihad” “The minarets are our bayonets, the domes [of the mosques] our helmets, themosques our barracks.” “There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s that”

Now, here is Chris Patten, the incoming Chairman of the BBC Trust from a few days ago; 

“So what is the pointof Europe today? For me the answer is to be found in Turkey. Europe with Turkey as a memberwould naturally be a more dynamic economy. Turkey is a regional energy hub. Ithas clout and respect in its own region with formidable fighting forces. Aboveall, Turkey is now a role model for other Islamic societies striving toaccommodate democracy, civil liberties, the rule of law, an open economy,pluralism and religion. As an EU member, Turkey would add a new dimension of massive historicimportance. Europeans would show that they could embrace an Islamic democracyand build a strong bridge between Europe and Western Asia.”

Remember please  – Impartiality is in their genes.

BBC WATCH

Here is an excellent site that also details the BBC’s antipathy towards Israel – recommended and worth a visit! Trevor Asserson should be congratulated for his meticulous work on this!

“The bbcwatch Reports demonstrate how the BBC consistently fails to adhere to its legal obligations to produce impartial and accurate reporting. Our systematic, objective and rigorous research points to the firm conclusion that the BBC frequently displays marked and consistent pro-Palestinian bias in their coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. Their inability to report on this subject in an impartial way raises questions over their ability to report on all other politically sensitive issues.”

ALLAH’S LITTLE HELPERS…

A perceptive reader picks up on this;

Nicky Campbell this morning gave a lot of airtime to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association who are running an advertising campaign to lessen ‘Islamophobia’.This is of course hugely ironic because the Ahmadis are considered heretics by other Muslims and not Muslim…..only recently 100 of them were slaughterd in Pakistan by ‘real’ Muslims.

So we have to ask where lies the real violence and conflict?And then also ask why is it that Jewish schools need bomb proof windows, security fencing and security guards?None of these questions were raised by Campbell….but he did suggest that people’s perceptions of Islam were wrong…what they believed were acts of violence or bigotry carried out in Islam’s name were in fact the result of cultural traditions and practises.

This seems to be a recent theme on the BBC….Is it an editorial guideline to presenters to suggest this line in order to make people believe Islam is not to blame for many social ills?A recent report from Saudi Arabia on women’s oppression did not mention Islam at all.

In an interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali Emily Maitlis does not ask if culture is the cause of women’s oppression but states that it is…Homophobia, women’s lack of rights, violence to other religions are caused not by religion of Islam but by deep cultural conservatism…Islam is a mass of different Islams she claims (Islamically impossible…there can be only one Islam). But the culture is Islam…taken from Arab culture and turned into the word of God replies Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

Maitlis uncritically defends Islam and claims Hirsi Ali is fuelling anti-Islamic bigotry and the Far Right.

The BBC is playing a dangerous game promoting this religion and doing all it can to impede any criticism and indepth questioning of the religion, its origins, its real meaning and where it will lead us to should it take hold in this country.

IS THE POPE CATHOLIC?

A Biased BBC reader asks;

“Listening to Professor Madawi Al-Rasheed, rofessor of the Anthropology of Religion at King’s College London, being interviewed on ‘Woman’s Hour’ ) this morning the thought came to me that perhaps the Pope is not Catholic.

His, some might say, extreme views on women, homosexuality and contraception are surely not what the Catholic Religion is really about. In other words the Pope is perverting or distorting the real Catholicism.

Then to see Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard of Brussels spalttered with pie for expressing such Popish views shook me…perhaps there is a God, one with a sense of humour….is God confirming my radical thoughts?

No it was the BBC.

My eyes were opened to new thinking about religion and authority when the above mentioned professor suggested that the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia had its origin in religion, but not the religion of Islam.

The Saudi religious establishment were not the true representatives of Islam…they were perverting its Truths for their own ends. This might seem strange as Islam was born in Saudi Arabia, Islam’s single most Holy shrine is in Saudi Arabia and the pronouncements of the Saudi religious authority are followed around the world and indeed the Saudis pay for much of the Islamic infrastructure burgeoning in Britain right now.

The question therefore arises if the Saudi Religious Establishment is not the true Islam because of its extreme and unIslamic nature, then possibly the Pope is not Catholic.

This is of course the new BBC narrative regarding Islam….the various ‘extremes’ which are shot through Muslim societies are actually a result of conservative cultural traditions and not Islam. Curious that cultures as disparate as Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Luton all have the same culture.
