JUSTINIT FOR THE SYCOPHANCY

Did you read this latest love-in between Justin Webb and his good friends in the Obama regime? The contrast between the studied belligerence that typified BBC coverage of the Bush years and the slobbering sycophancy that now characterised Obama’s reign could not be greater nor the bias more rampant. This is not balanced and objective reporting but rather sustained PR spin.

EU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!

You should have a read of this BBC item concerning the news that the UK’s Conservative MEPs have formed a new “anti-federalist” European Parliament bloc.

The new European Conservatives and Reformists Group includes 55 MEPs from across eight member states. Leader David Cameron had vowed to take his MEPs out the centre-right European People’s Party, saying its federalist views were against Tory policy.

What interests me is the structure of the article. It starts of by informing us of this move by Cameron before finishing with a critical attack of this move by retiring Conservative MEP’s and, of course, Barroso. The reader is therefore left with the subtle message that the Conservatives are divided over it and have done something which is wrong! Always pro-EU and always anti-Conservatives when they show a little determination not to be rabid federalists.

CRACKERJACK!

Wonder what you make of the news that one of BBC Radio 2’s most popular religious presenters has launched a stinging attack on the BBC suggesting the broadcaster is biased against Christianity.

Don Maclean, 66, who hosted Good Morning Sunday for 16 years, said the broadcaster was ‘keen’ on programmes that attack the Christian church. He said programming chiefs were keen to take a ‘negative angle at every opportunity’ in a way they do not with other faiths like Islam. Mr Maclean said programmes about Anglicanism on the BBC always discuss gay clergy and for Catholicism they always mention paedophiles.

Maclean is simply being honest and since he was on the inside he merely confirms what we see from the outside, don’t you think? The BBC is institutionally anti-Christian and pro-Islam.

EVERYBODY LOVES MARGARET?

I was reading the BBC’s coverage of the race to become Speaker here. It seems that Margaret Beckett is now the hot favourite (one of the very few times you will see the words “hot” and “Margaret Beckett” in the same sentence!). The BBC seems to approve of her since the only Conservative they take comment from, Richard Bacon, is content to see the foul Beckett in the chair.

ST VINCE AND THE CURIOUS

I was reading here that economic “guru” Vince Cable was too disorganised to pay his own bills on time, his expenses claims have revealed.

The Lib Dem deputy leader, who lectured the Government on economic prudence, received 19 reminders and warnings from utility firms and office equipment suppliers during 2005-6. His electricity and gas suppliers both threatened to cut off his constituency office over non-payment of bills

Anyone got a link to the BBC coverage of this?

THE RISING TIDE….

Crashing sea on shore
Wonder what you make of the suggestion carried by the BBC this morning that “One in six homes in England is at risk of flooding, says the Environment Agency, and climate change will raise that number without better protection”

The agency calculates that funding for projects that protect communities from flooding from rivers and the sea needs to double to £1bn annually by 2035. Without that, it says, economic damage worth £4bn per year could be the norm. The agency’s report uses data from the government’s projections of UK climate impacts, published on Thursday.”

The BBC just loves this sort of climate alarmism and never provides a voice to those who challenge the wild claims emanating from The Met Office and the other organs of eco-wackery. In this way bias is consistent and never challenged. What worries me is that the power and presence the BBC has in so many homes throughout this land gives this insidious propaganda a real menacing aspect- brain-washing so many into accepting the radical environ-mentalist agenda.
