Most economically illiterate line of the morning from the BBC “Given that Alitalia was government owned, how could it have gone so wrong?”
Most wishful thinking line of the morning from the BBC “Our government has banned short-selling(in the money market) but the Russian government has banned all selling”
From first thing in the morning to last thing at night, the BBC spews out a relentless diet of left wing TOXIC bias.
Well, it’s back for a new season. Did you catch the unrelenting attacks on Sarah Palin? Not one person -in the audience or panel – would endorse her. Pathetic.
Did you read Nick Robinson’s blog today which poses the key question; Will voters be persuaded that “only a party of the Left can clean up the city”? Nick reckons that the ongoing economic chaos may yet save our Gordon and quotes several reasons why the electorate may choose Gordon’s “experience” over that which is called “newness and change” (aka tThe Conservatives) It does not seem to have occurred to Nick that maybe, just maybe, voters may BLAME the man who claimed he had done away with boom and bust and simply left us with bust! Still, the BBC have been quick to attack all those evil city speculators for causing so much misery and so implying that Labour is merely the victim of forces beyond its control. Is this the death of capitalism? The BBC is hoping so…

Hi all – been away most of this past week and this is my first chance to blog. So it’s reassuring to see the State Broadcaster continuing to do it’s level best for Obama. It gushes that a “senior Republican” casts doubt on Palin’s experience. Mmm, nice headline. But then we discover that the “senior Republic”happens to be a certain Chuck Hagel speaking to the prestigious and widely read Omaha-World Herald. Hagel is a man whose opinion will influence independent voters, chimes Justin Webb. Who told him that? Hagel is viewed with contempt by GOP voters and he is a hero of the Dem’s ever since he became a campaigning supporter of the Chosen One. The question here is on what basis would “independent voters” choose to pay attention to this Republican traitor? I believe this is mere wishful thinking by Justin and the gang and typical of the determined campaign the BBC is running to try and sideline Sarah Palin.
I notice that Amanda Platell has picked up the weekly scam that is the Jonathan Ross programme. She points out that on his Friday night show last week, Ross felt compelled to ask gorgeous but utterly vacuous Kelly Brook why she smelled so good. It turned out she was launching her new perfume. As a PR stunt, it was shameless. As TV, it stank. Worse still, we are asked to fund this egomaniac on stilts.

What do you make of the news that a senior BBC executive told reporters to ‘go easy’ on the Labour Government now it is lagging behind the Tories in the polls. According to a well-placed source, the man in charge of BBC Radio 4’s flagship “Today In Parliament” told his staff that it was right to be ‘aggressive’ when things were going well for the Government but not when it was in trouble. Some of those present were outraged by the comments attributed to Peter Knowles, editor of the BBC’s parliamentary programmes, at an ‘away day’ gathering in London. Naturally the BBC denies this but then again they would say that, wouldn’t they?
Just wanted to say a word of sincere thanks to Natalie, Laban and Hugh for their excellent contribution to the site this past week, I hope readers are enjoying the diversity of opinion!
How brave of the BBC to broadcast this story concerning a request from a most senior judge to kill the owners of TV channels which broadcast immoral programmes. Relax though, it’s only Saudi Arabia’s most senior judge calling for the beheading of those at the top of broadcasting corporations producing filth. As the BBC correspondent notes “fighting militant Islam can be difficult.” I’d say. Then again the BBC is keen to portray Islam as the religion of peace so I guess the beheading of offensive broadcasters is just tough love?
Did you read that Radio 4 is planning to bring back “Letter from America” – the thoughtful programme presented by the late Alistair Cooke for more than 50 years, but re-vamped, re-named and presented by the broadcasting phenonomen that is…Justin “Obama” Webb. They have GOT to be kidding…..! As if it were not bad enough that nxt year they are bringing back “I’m sorry, I haven’t a clue”……
I was watching the BBC2 Comedy programme “Mock the Week” and was struck yet again by the venom spat out dressed up as “humourous topical comment”in the direction of John McCain and Sarah Palin. “Lightning-fast” Russell Howard and “one of Britain’s most insightful and cutting comedians” Andy Parsons in particular were letting their bias show, with comments about Palin being “stupid” because she did not “believe” in AGW and McCain dying. Naturally there were no jokes about Obama. The thing about these hard left comedians is they lack the guts to laugh at their own political icons. Instead they remain fixed in 6th form student grant aspic – and we fund them via the license tax.
