I am sure that all decent people will be pleased to know that the little kidnapped British boy, Sahil Saeed, has been released from captivity from where he was being held prisoner in Pakistan.Is it just me or has the BBC coverage of this story – led by the fragrant Orla Guerin – been MASSIVELY  over the top all day? Thoughts?

MARRED AND QUESTIONED

Anyone else have the misfortune to watch the Andrew Marr show this morning? It was the usual left-liberal fest. First up we had the new Green Peace President Kumi Naidoo on to tell us about the horrors of global warming. He took the opportunity to also express his support for law-breaking. Andrew just smiled at him. Then we had author Ian McEwan on to warn us about the horrors of…global warming. Get the message? After that, on sauntered Lord Adonis to warn us of the evils of Conservatism and the need to abolish the House of Lords. To finish, Ken Clarke was interviewed and he insisted that Conservatives needed to go after the liberal vote in order to win the election. Balanced and fair from start to finish as Andrew shines his light.

Next up, the execrable Nicky Campbell “Big Question.” The first question on this Mothering Sunday was “whether we need fathers”. The general consensus was that we didn’t and that two lesbians provided the almost perfect model for bringing up children.  There was also talk of “it takes a village” to bring up a child. Fathers were seen as an irrelevance to having a happy child. The feminised audience were a disgrace but par for the course. Next up, “Is it time for a maximum wage”? Hard left trade union Unite had a representative on to explain that it is an outrage that there is no ceiling on how people can be paid. He lied about the minimum wage being a great success (It hasn’t) and now he demands a maximum wage. Pure Communist thinking and endorsed by Nicky Campbell.

USING YOUR MONEY WISELY?

The BBC needs every penny of that £3.5bn it steals from us each year. I mean, it does such invaluable work.

The BBC has spent tens of thousands of pounds on teaching staff how to use Facebook. The corporation is holding classes for large numbers of its 23,000 workforce, despite the fact that using the social networking site is second nature to millions. Hundreds of BBC workers have already signed up for the sessions, in which they learn how to set up accounts on Facebook, as well as Twitter and Bebo.

SAMCAM BAD, LIBDEMS GOOD

Caught BBC TV news this morning, rather in the same way as one catches a cold. There was an item on Samantha Cameron talking about her husband, David. I thought she came across fine and quite human. The BBC instantly went to get a woman’s group who found the whole thing “patronising”. It’s clear they seek to undermine the Conservatives even on the most mundane level. Then there was a fawning interview with Nick Clegg, in which he was allowed to bash “the rich” and agree with the Orwellian Childre’s Commissioner that we are criminalising children. BBC loves the liberal agenda and this translates into the toadying interview with Cleggy.

THE LIB-DEM SHOW

I think the Andrew Marr show has morphed into the Lib-Dem show this morning, with Charlie “Hic” Kennedy on the sofa followed by Saint Vince of I Told You So.. Harriet Har-person was also on to add extra balance. I think I spotted Liam Fiox but it was fleeting. Of course there’s nothing like balance and this programme is nothing to do with balance. The BBC just lurve lefties…

THOSE MURDEROUS JEWS…

A Biased BBC reader contacts me with the following astute observation…   

“….the last line in a report on an IDF soldier who posteddetails of a military operation on Facebook reads: “Reports on whether the targets of the raids aremilitants or civilians are often contradictory.”  The article thereby seeks to imply that the IDF targetscivilians for which there is simply no evidence.

 The BBC consistently plays this game, implying that the IDF go after Palestinian civilians in much the same way as it likes to suggest that the US military in Afghanistan targets “wedding parties”.
