If there is one kind of Conservative that the BBC almost like, it’s the sort that are Conservative-in-name-only. Take Tim Yeo, please.  This blustering buffoon was on the BBC this morning to discuss why some sort of subsidy for nuclear power was sadly  inevitable. Naturally the BBC does not approve of any form of subsidy to this one form of clean energy whilst favouring as much as possible for windfarms and other loopy ideas. Mention nuclear energy and the BBC go into defence mode betraying their own innate bias on the topic.

Hi folks and welcome to another week on Biased BBC. I’ve received emails from several of you wanting me to highlight what is perceived as the BBC using the Japanese disaster to advance their long standing opposition to Nuclear Power. A reader advises;

“There was a great interview HERE with Ian Hor Lacy on March 12th edition of Weekend Breakfast on R5 where Rachel Burden’s exaggerated beliefs about the threat posed by the nuclear plants is beautifully exposed: go here and go to 1:06 

I also heard Today kicking off on this line this morning – now that they flown Naughtie et al over to Japan (Never mind the carbon emissons, natch). Never miss the chance to take advantage of tragedy in order to advance the cause, right BBC?

Left, Left, Left

Listening to this BBC Today segment concerning the positon of Trident, I was reminded how much the BBC wallow in debates among their ideological confreres (they are enjoying it while they still can). In this segment, the BBC presented the views of George Robertson and various leftist thinkers (the presenter calls it a “phenomenal list”), Robert Peston (the left-oriented BBC commentator), and the Labour Government minister Bill Rammell. Rammell defends the Gvt’s position in persisting with Trident by saying that Britain is at the forefront of nuclear disarmament- pointing to cutbacks in the arsenal. He does this because his critics are coming from the CND legacy left. The BBC offers no counterbalancing voice, and indeed the presenter barbs caustically “can we afford it?”- something I don’t recall hearing concerning any other item of public expenditure ever from the BBC. Biased.
