CHANNELING JOHNNY.

Comments Off on CHANNELING JOHNNY.

Well now, have you seen the main BBC news portal this morning? It looks like the BBC is sponsoring the Democratic convention based on the euphoria of the coverage afforded to the first day of the Obama love in. All the elements were on parade for the BBC to propagandise upon. We had the lovely Michelle – that most fragrant of delicate flowers who only recently became proud of her countey – giving her homely wisdom to the masses . Then we had Ted Kennedy – speaking almost from his death bed – and channelling JFK in the BBC’s eyes. Even better, we now have what is being presented as an assassination bid on Obama – more echoes of JFK. Can you imagine what it will be like on Thursday when the Chosen One descends to Earth and speaks to the people? Will the BBC be able to contain itself? Can’t wait to see the same surge of excitment from the rotten BBC when McCain’s moment comes….

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH.

I see that the BBC has flown James Naughtie all the way over to Denver (What about all those C02 emissions?) to cover the coronation of the Chosen One, Obama, at the DNC. The Today programme (7.09am) had a wonderful treat for us this morning when Naughtie interviewed Justin Webb on Obama’s chances and as you can imagine, a strong stomach was the order of the day just to get through this love-in. Justin was in good form, emoting about the “audacity” of the “mesmeric” young “black man” Obama and reminding us f the “staggeringly unpopular” President Bush. Surprised Justin didn’t have time to reflect on the “staggeringly unpopular” Democratic-controlled Congress but I suppose there is only so much time given to provide praise for the BBC-approved candidate. Looking forward to Michelle’s speech tonight and the BBC coverage to follow….

BIDEN FEVER

. You have to laugh at the sheer BIAS of it all. The single most important news in the world today for the BBC to run as its lead story is the selection by the Obamessiah of slow Joe Biden as his V-P running mate. Clearly they don’t buy the view expressed by John Adams that it “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived!” The main BBC news spun this news as if it were of monumental significance and I look forward to seeing their news schedule being led by the announcement of McCain’s V-P selection, with appropriate fever. It is so obvious that the BBC wants Obama in the White House and it permeates their coverage. They wanted Kerry but were denied and now all their focus is on the Chosen One. You can tell how shocked they are that Obama’s poll numbers FELL after his European PR-fest so one can only speculate how the BBC will take an Obama defeat in November. I guess it will be used to insinuate that too many Americans are racist.

MURDERING AMERICANS?

If you had the misfortune to tune into the Today programme this morning at 7.12am, you would have found yourself treated to John Humphrys in full on anti-American military sneering mode.

The news item concerns a US air strike on the Taliban spawn that infest the Herat area of Afghanistan and which killed dozens of the Taliban. Or at least that’s what the US armed force say, but who believes them, right? Straightaway this is disputed by “tribal elders” (Taliban, natch) “locals” (Taliban) and the ubiquitous “Human Rights” activists. (Taliban apologists) Humphyrs line was to immediately weigh-in behind the idea that the US forces had killed many innocent civilians – again. He brought on Grace Ommer from Oxfam (An organisation hardly noted for balance..) and he then made the remarkable assertion that this “war, if war it is..” is going very badly? I wonder what he thinks it is? Is he there to editorialise on this and if so who is there to provide a balance? Humphrys tried to get Ommer to say the war was going badly wrong but in fairness even she figured that Oxfam are hardly in a position to judge. She merely pointed out that US actions against the Taliban made humanitarian work very difficult. She appeared to long for the good old days when the Taliban were in sole control of the country and Oxfam could operate with impunity.

This item fairly simmered with anti-US military hostility and it is an example of how the BBC does all it can to undermine the efforts of the US military everywhere they operate. You should give it a listen, it’s an example of the visceral bias that permeates the BBC.

TWO SNIDE.

Happened to tune into BBC Radio 2 this morning and caught Simon Mayo having a good old snigger about that fact that John McCain was apparently unsure as to how many properties he actually owned. Simon appeared to be reading from a transcript of McCain’s response to a journalist who had asked him how many houses he had. Simple Simon mocked McCain for something going on for a couple of minutes. Funny thing is when Obama suggested there were 57 States – can’t recall Simon using that as a platform for his humour? Can you? Even on Radio 2, the left wing bias can’t stop from exuding. I like Terry Wogan – think he has a good sense of humour – but Mayo shows a disturbing lack of balance –left, left, left.

JIHAD PUDSEY.

Truly remarkable. Some of the cash from the BBC’s Children in Need charity may have been used to fund the propaganda activities of the suicide bombers who killed 52 people in July 2005. Who say so? The BBC!

According to BBC 2’s Newsnight £20,000 from Children in Need was handed over to the Leeds Community School, in Beeston, Yorkshire between 1999 and 2002. The school, which also received large sums from other public bodies, was run from premises behind the Iqra Islamic bookshop which the gang used as a meeting place and an opportunity to radicalise others. One former worker described those that attended the bookshop as a kind of “brotherhood.” Both Mohammed Sidique Khan, the leader of the bombers, and Shehzad Tanweer, the Aldgate bomber, were trustees of the bookshop and Sidique Khan also worked for a Saturday club at the associated Leeds Community School. Sidique Khan ran outward bound adventure courses in north Wales which were used to recruit and radicalise young Muslim men. Both the bookshop and the school were registered charities – the bookshop claimed, on Charity Commission submissions, that its aim was “the advancement of the Islamic faith”, while the school’s aim was said to be to “advance the education…of Pakistani and Bangladeshi” pupils. They handed out DVDs and books about Bosnia and Chechnya and held Arabic classes in a back room, attended by Jermaine Lindsay, who went on to become the Kings Cross bomber. They also produced a leaflet in the wake of September 11 blaming the attacks on a Jewish conspiracy.

The reaction by the Chief Executive of the BBC Charity to these serious charges is hardly inspiring when he says that the BBC exercises the utmost care in handing over these “small” sums of money. What do you feel about this? I know the BBC is bad but I never thought it may have actually FUNDED Jihad!!!

Despite the best efforts of Hamas to reduce the number of attacks on Israel (Surreal, I know but those are the BBC’s wordss) it seems the inhabitants in Gaza are still mired in their own excrement because…YES…. those pesky Jews refuse to allow spare sewage parts into Hamastan. I read this story DRIPPING in pro-Pali bias and wondered if al-Beeb has ever managed to file one report which is critical of the Hamas Jihadists without also suggesting that their barbarism is merely a response to the bad Jews?

HIBERNIANISATION.

I know I have commented on this before it but it does irritate me and so I draw your attention to the bizarre agenda pursued by BBC Northern Ireland, the arm of the BBC which thinks it is Irish, not British. The LEAD story this evening concerns the accidental death of a lady in the Irish Republic. Tragic certainly but in what way does this have ANY relevance to Northern Ireland. Meanwhile the Olympic coverage on this station concerns itself with the Irish connection to Usain Bolt. This is not accidental, it is part of a sustained and politically driven agenda on behalf of the BBC to broadcast the news of a foreign country as if it were domestic news. The term I use is hibernianisation – the greening of Northern Ireland by the lousy BBC.

AND THE GOLD MEDAL FOR CLASS WAR GOES TO

….Radio 5 live! I happened to catch this snivelling cabal of lefties led by Peter Allen on “Olympic Drive Time” debate whether we should be funding “elitist” rowing, sailing equestrianism since this disenfranchises third world nations. There were further sarcastic comments about “Eton” winning more gold medals than third world nations. Gosh, it’s SO unfair that British sport succeeds in all the wrong areas!
