WHERE’S CAMERON?

17 Comments

A biased BBC reader brings my attention to this particularly contrived instance of bias. As you will see, there is NO mention of David Cameron atall in this report of the Leaders’ Debate. What’s more, the wording suggeststhat though the polls were not agreed on who won, the contenders were Clegg andBrown rather than Clegg and Cameron. No-one reading this report would guessthat a number of polls had declared Cameron the clear winner! The Conservatives do not exist, everyone loves Clegg, get with the meme, right?

ANY QUESTIONS?

Hi all. Sorry I am not around as much as normal but fighting a Westminster election campaign is a tad demanding! That said, it’s hard to escape BBC bias. I happened to listen to “Any Questions” this lunchtime and it reminds me why the BBC is such a problem. It came from North London and I felt sorry for the mild mannered Conservative Caroline Spelman. The audience whooped and cheered for all left of centre comments coming from the other panelists (Jack Straw,Sir Menzies Campbell and Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts). St George’s Day was discussed in terms of “would an immigrant be happy to take part in it?” and then the issue of genuflection to Islam via censorship of South Park came along. This is an atrociously biased programme, in my view, and as ever, the audience seems to consist of hard-left moonbats,

ISLAM ON THE BBC

Hope you enjoyed “Thought for the day” with Abdal Hakim Murad this morning? I think the BBC is so brave to give Islam such prominence in this daily slot despite it being such a minority religion. Still, I bet that Aaqil Ahmed, the BBC’s Head of Religious Broadcasting will at least appreciate this.

SHIRL THE PEARL…

Anyone have the stomach to listen to this grovelling interview by Naughty with Baroness Williams, that doyen of so many BBC programmes? The easy questions thrown her way contrast with those given to any Conservative figure but, then again, when you hear Shirley Williams talking you are hearing the political thinking of the BBC made manifest…

EVIL BANKERS – A CONTINUING SERIES…

Over in the States, the Obama regime is doing what it can to undermine the reputation of Wall Street and in particular in the form of Goldman Sachs. The BBC never misses a chance to kick those evil bankers and so Today joined in the fun this morning @ 7.50am. Isn’t capitalism just sooooo evil? If only we lived in a nice socialist collective where income was assured through enforced taxation, oh hang on a sec…..

OBAMALOVE…

Beautiful Monday morning, not a cloud or a plane in sight, so what better time for the BBC to run one of it’s very special polls which shows the world is warming to the USA since Obama came to power. The inherent bias in this World Service poll is TRULY wondrous with the US under the evil Bush seen as more malign than Russia or China! But hey, maybe the BBC needs another poll to explain why it is that even as the US under Obama gets better World Service poll ratings, Obama’s own poll-ratings in the US have slumped? Something about the enemy within…?

YOU’D HAVE TO BE STUPID TO VOTE BNP…

I noticed the BBC was running a story just before 7am suggesting that there is little connection between levels of crime and high levels of immigration but that there is a connection between those with low academic achievement and support for the BNP! Wonder could the BBC not run a similar story suggesting that rank stupidity is an essential requisite for voting Lib-Dems or that being a moron is the ideal requirement for supporting Labour? Look, I have no time whatsoever for the BNP but the BBC desire to smear those who are alarmed at immigration is risible and fatuous little non-stories run off-peak by Al Beeb shall not pass unchallenged.

CAN NICK SAVE GORDON…?

I have long suggested that the BBC prefers the Lib-Dem political philosophy to that of Labour because it is further to the left and so acts as a ratchet to ensure UK politics keeps shifting ever leftwards. So, is it just me or is dear old Auntie loving Cleggmania as it sees this as the one clear chance of keeping Brown the loser in some sort of power? As the aftershocks of the TV debate are still felt, I detect a grim satisfaction at Broadcasting House, do you?

FACTS FOR THE MEMORY….

Here is an interesting exchange you should read…. 

On 7th April on the TODAY programme, champingat the bit to link David Cameron to Richard Nixon for his use of the phrase‘the great ignored’, M/s Berg falsely claimed that Richard Nixon coined thephrase “The silent majority”. 

The phrase ‘the silent majority’ wasactually coined by De Gaulle’s Prime Minister Pompidou after De Gaulle calledparliamentary elections in 1968 and saw his party achieve the first absolutemajority in the history of the French Republic (clearly not something the BBC would wish to link David Cameron with). The compiler of our B-BBC digestGraeme sent a complaint to the BBC8th April and copied it to the Conservative Party.  He received a reply15th April from BBC ComplaintsCorrespondent Liam Boyle which compounded falsehood upon falsehood.  

SeeGraeme’s response below:

Dear Mr Boyle,

Thank you for your email. 

Firstly, I note that when I submittedmy complaint via your website no reference number was generated or automatedemail acknowledgement sent.  This is very bad practice for dealing withcomplaints and is an indication of the bad faith in which an endemically biasedBBC acts. 
What, in my view, starklycharacterises the bad faith of today’s BBCand its contempt for democratic values is your following directfalsehood: 
Sanchia Berg’s reportfor the ‘Today’ programme on April 7th did not claim
that President Nixon coined the phrase the “silent majority” 
Sanchia Berg’s exact wordsonce more:  “Over 40 years ago Richard Nixoncoined a new phrase ‘the silent majority’ … ” 

I transcribed thesewords carefully from the recording you carried on your website.  Ofcourse, you only carry these recordings for 7 days.  I wonder if it is acoincidence that you only respond to my complaint with this direct falsehoodafter this recording has been removed? 

Fortunately, the recording still comesup under a search (see below) and I was able to confirm the 100% accuracy of mytranscription.  As someone who adheres to the democratic standards theGramscian BBC has such contemptfor, I do not use the word “lie” to describe your direct falsehood asI do not have the incontrovertible proof necessary that itwas intentional.  However, on the basis of the systematic bias of theBBC over the years I have everyreason to believe it was.

Mr Boyle, you’re dealing with someonewho as a Tribunite member of the Labour Party in 1979 thought the only realbias at the BBC was towards theleft and was against it as it was bad for democracy.  I am absolutelycertain that Mr Cameron does not have the moral bottom to deal with the threatthe Gramscian BBC poses.  I’msure you can continue to pursue your subversive ends with such patentfalsehoods with impunity till the Gramscian left has finally brought downBritish democracy, which I’m sure it will.  What you willnever escape though is that there will always be people likeme willing to remind you what your moral choice in life says aboutyou as a human being.

God bless,

Graeme…

MORE BBC BIAS…

I notice that in pursuance of its dream of a “hung Parliament” the BBC’s Today reporter Kevin Connolly claims that such an event could represent a “huge opportunity” for the DUP. Gosh, how exciting and what a good reason to vote for them, right? Well, it could do if they were ever there but as Mr Connolly should be aware, the DUP’s attendance record at Westminster is appalling. Worse, DUP leader Peter Robinson has stated that should he be returned (I am running against him) then he will continue to double job, instantly ruling himself out of two-thirds of votes. I will be contacting the BBC about Mr Connolly’s biased coverage (again) this morning, but as of yet they do not respond. It’s a disgrace the way in which the BBC is interfering in the NI aspect of the General Election and spinning for the establishment.
