ON BBC EDITORIAL GUIDELINES

Excellent post by Mailman here and I wanted to share the detail more broadly – see below!
 
“Sorry but the BBC’s issues with impartiality are one of culture, which cannot simply be addressed by adding a few words to a document your staff will never really read.  
 
If the BBC was serious about impartiality you wouldnt need a document like this telling us how awesome you are simply because the BBC would already be impartial.  
 
I mean lets face the truth here. The BBC stopped reporting the news decades ago and instead started reporting its opinion as the news. You want to be serious about reporting the news, get rid of all the BBC blogs which are nothing more than a collection of leftist ideology.  
 
Please do tell us underserving underlings how exactly the BBC will change how it reports Mann Made Global Warming ™, Immigration, Islam, Republicans, British way of life, multiculturalism over night? Actually, lets be slightly more realistic, how does the BBC plan to report on any of these items over the next 10 years?  
 
Sadly, each of the above items I have listed the BBC has shown a marked bias towards. Mann Made Global Warming, the BBC is an advocate. Immigration, the BBC is an advocate for unlimited immigration. Islam, the BBC is an advocate for Islam and censors any and all stories that shines light in the true nature of the beast (anyone seen an in depth analisys of Wilders trial or Theo Van Goughs murder? No, didnt think so). Republicans, how many times did the BBC regurgitate the lie of Palins beautiful son being her grand son? Dont even get me started on how the BBC has treated and still does treat GW. British way of life…the BBC is an advocate for the destruction of the British way of life, after all its unfair to expect all those immigrants to adapt to Britain and fit in.   
 
So yes, please do explain how you intend to change the BBC when so many of the biases I have listed above are so deeply ingrained in to the corporations leftist culture.”

MEDICS JIHAD

Interesting and subtle article here by the BBC. It screams about alleged financial “abuse” of “bonus culture” by NHS Consultants. The impression is given that there is widespread troughery and self reward and this is unacceptable at a time when the NHS faces cuts. But it’s not quite that straightforward. You see for starters, it is the BBC itself which claims to have identified the “loop-hole” that these greedy medics are exploiting.They then go to speak to three experts, two of whom take the view that these bonus payments should stop forthwith. It strikes me as a hatchet job on NHS consultants and whilst I carry no candle for them I can also see when they are being stitched up, if you’ll pardon the pun. What say you?

"MURDERED"

I note the BBC are running this story about a farmer who has been “murdered”. It is suggested to me that the man concerned may have been run down and killed by thieves who COULD be of the “traveller” persuasion. Given the anxiety that this sort of incident has on our farmers, one would think the BBC would pursue the story rather more vigorously but then again who knows where that might lead? Instead this is conveniently tucked away in the Sussex section, next to an item concerning Winnie the Pooh stamps.

WHY GOVERNMENT IS A SOFT TOUCH

Robert Peston is a strange bloke. I was watching his interview on the Ten News with Sir Philip Green who made the point that the commercial incompetence of Government would put any private business to the wall. Green pointed out that vast sums of money can be saved for the taxpayer if government could learn to be efficient. But then, after the interview, Peston turns the whole issue around and says that Government should stop being “such a soft touch” and that Private business might just have to put up with lesser profits. Wrong. Green spells out the vast incompetence of  Government and how it wastes OUR cash. It’s not about being “a soft touch”

AMERICANS TO BLAME

You know, I was very sorry to read of the tragic death of kidnapped UK aid worker Linda Norgove in Afghanistan. As you know, an attempted rescue was made but it ended in her death. What annoys me is the way in which the BBC are going after US forces on this now that it appears a US grenade used in the attempted rescue may have killed her. The BBC is coy about the fact that it was Islamic savages that kidnapped her, that it was Islamic savages who planned to kill her, and that responsibility for her death lies entirely with the Islamic savages concerned. The BBC meme is that US soldiers must always be in the wrong. Well, maybe the BBC want to go after the man in ultimate charge of US forces, Obama!

THE GATES OF VIENNA…

It’s curious that despite it’s vast journalistic and technological resources, the BBC seems unable (or unwilling?) to report on the substantial gains made by the anti-Islamic unfettered immigration Freedom Party in Vienna, Austria yesterday. I wonder why? I am sure they will give this due prominence, eventually but at time of writing I cannot find any news update from them. Not a word.

UTOPIANISM…

It’s a question of priority, of course, but is there anybody out there who REALLY thinks that a report by the leftist quango headed by Trevor Philips merits the prime time slot on “Today”? Philips was spouting the usual lefty clap trap about “unfairness” and the BBC earnestly carries the headlines from the reports that transgendered students “said” they were bullied and that Pakistani babies were twice as likely to die in the first year as white babies. Oh, and that pesky gender trap has still not closed. I thought Humphyrs was reasonably robust with Philips but towards the end of the interview this seemed to melt and the bon homie appeared. Philips is a greivance-monger whose utopian fantasies are indulged rather than critiqued.  The BBC is running a week long series of items on “fairness” – it seems to me that this has the pre-designed aim to ensure that whatever the Coalition does is viewed as “unfair”
