SELECTIVE REPORTING…

In it’s zeal to create the impression that the world and his wife wants the naval blockade of Gaza lifted, the BBC gushes that “The blockade on the Gaza Strip “must be broken”, the head of the Arab League Amr Moussa has said.” Odd then how they are less than effusive about sharing the news that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has told Obama that the naval blockade must be retained, lest it bolster Hamas. I guess not all news is equal…

QUEEN BASHING..

Nicky Campbell is on holidays (Spending more time with his ego?) so his “Big Question” TV programme is presented by Kay Adams. She led a discussion entitled “Does the Queen deserve a pay rise” (last one being 20 years ago, but the BBC doesn’t do detail when it suits them). Adams suggested that the Queen might try cycling and open up her Palaces. Her Caledonian hatred of the Monarchy oozes through. This was a pro-Republican agenda dressed up as a topical “debate”. The audience, as ever, was composed of swivel-eyed Royal haters.

IF WE COULD TALK TO THE TALIBAN…

A BBC meme is that it is always good to talk to terrorists. It doesn’t matter where they are and it doesn’t matter what they have done – the narrative is that “talk-talk” is the progressive way forward for all enlightened people. On Today this morning, I was stunned to listen a BBC contributor in the form of Conservative MP Adam Holloway declare that “we need to bring as much of the hard core Taliban” into the government of Afghanistan. These would be the same “hard core” Taliban that have just hanged a SEVEN yr old boy. I can see that Mr Holloway will be a regular contributor to the BBC in the time ahead.

BLOODY BBC…

For decades, Irish republicans have been assiduously cultivating the myth that bad and evil British soldiers deliberately murdered 13 “peace activists” in Londonderry back in 1972. The “Bloody Sunday” inquiry Number Two conclusions Number Two come out early next week and the BBC are doing their best to keep the narrative going by repeating their “Bloody Sunday” play (Part Two today). Expect to hear the BBC get stuck into the British Army with relish next week even as they sanitise IRA Commander Martin McGuinness and his fellow republican terrorists who used the crowds on that day to cover themselves even as they endeavoured to kill British soldiers. Wonder when the BBC will commission a play “Bloody Friday” and the alleged role of IRA monsters like Gerry Adams in ordering the murder of so many innocents on that day? Just remember, it’s NOT  a good day at the BBC if they cannot undermine our Armed Forces.

SAINT NELSON…

Today is the day when the World Cup in South Africa kicks off. The BBC has gone into hype overdrive – and in that regard is no different from any other TV broadcaster. But I am already sick of the worship of Mandela and Tutu that has gone on before a ball has been kicked. I appreciate that these two figures are totemic for the political left and the opportunity was not going to be missed to praise them even more but not everyone holds them in high esteem. I think the BBC is deliberately embroiling politics into the sporting event (If you can call football “sport”) and advancing it’s own Nelson-worship. I also caught a BBC item yesterday with Hugh Maskela in which he claimed that blacks in South Africa was still being denied. By whom? By the ANC? No. Maskela was hinting at the race card and the BBC let him away with it.

NOTHING LIKE A SINNER WHO REPENTS…

The BBC must love it when one of their liberal Jewish journalists takes the opportunity to plunge the knife into Israel. Tim Frank plays the role perfectly here.. Franks is clear; Israelis are dysfunctional, shameful, forcing a ‘blackness’ over the ‘occupied territories’. Palestinians get all the sympathy, Israelis all the blame. Fair and balanced?

BLESSED ARE THE GREENIES…

Even as the Eurozone threatens to fall apart and member states go essentially bankrupt, the EU has much more important matters to be concentraing on – I refer to adopting EVEN stricter targets for carbon emission! Chris Huhne was on Today this morning insisting that AGW is the single biggest threat to mankind and that the EU must proceed, unilaterally, to an increase in the EU emissions reduction target from 20 to 30 per cent by 2020.” He was given a VERY easy ride by Justin Webb and was allowed to spout the usual eco-wacko nonsense without any challenge. Naturally there was no voice on to oppose this EU madness. I suspect Huhne will be member of the Coalition government that the BBC will go easy on – his swivel-eyed advocacy of the Green agenda virtually ensures that.

HOW EVIL ARE BP?

BP: BARACK'S PATSY
The BBC in full synchronised cry with Obama regarding the evils of BP. The game seems to be one of proving how poor BP have behaved so far, then daring Cameron to kick Obama’s ass. In all of this, there is a visceral hatred of a successful once British company and a desire to somehow socialise “Big Oil” by “spreadin’ some of that wealth around.” It seems the BBC approves of the idea that BP profits should fund all those US businesses whose profits may have been affected by the Gulf oil spill. The commercial madness of this seems to pass them by but then again since the BBC exists by parasitically feeding of us, maybe it feels this is the best model to follow?

SPAIN’S GOLDEN PAST

Interesting BBC treatment of the Spanish past. On the one hand, in this programme “The Art of Spain” the BBC proclaims the glorious Islamic rule that Spain enjoyed and how much we owe to that missed Muslim golden age. Then, on the other hand in this programme “The Dark Heart” we learn of the evils of Catholic Spain. Meme is simple; Islam = Good. Christian = bad.
