Category Archives: BBC bias

Here you go, a new Open Thread to detail the endless bias.

I know, I know, I SHOULD know better but I tuned into the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning, between 6.30am and 7am. There were basically 3 items to concern early morning Comrades.

1. Islamophobia in France. It’s a real concern, apparently.
2. Homophobia in the NHS. They won’t hand out PrEP.
3. Gender Pay inequality. More male oppression of women.

That was 30minutes of one long sustained liberal MOAN.

I have to be honest and say that I have been doing media on Russia Today and when I  compare a/ How I am treated and b/ The balance shown then RT Today beats the rancid BBC hands down.

The BBC and Labour? The same thing, redux.

“Former Labour Cabinet minister James Purnell is being lined up to run BBC radio – in a move that critics said ‘makes a mockery’ of the BBC’s duty to be impartial.

BBC sources said the former culture secretary, who served under both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, is set to be handed one of the corporation’s most sensitive editorial roles despite his high-flying political career.

Mr Purnell, who quit parliament in 2010, is currently the BBC’s £295,000-a-year director of strategy.

In a further twist it emerged that his role was recently expanded to education and children’s programming following an interview conducted by BBC grandees, including Alice Perkins, wife of Mr Purnell’s former Cabinet colleague Jack Straw.

The BBC last night said Mr Purnell’s career in politics should not bar him from senior roles.”

I bet.

Here you go, a BRAND NEW Open Thread to start another busy week of detailing BBC bias. Over to you…

And so, Team GB has a wonderful Rio Olympics by any standard. We finish 2nd, and above China. So, what does the BBC think? Well…

Rio Olympics: Is team GB doing well – or is China doing badly?

Another massive flood in Louisiana and a missing President.  The difference this time?  This time the BBC isn’t indulging in a huge moral grandstanding exercise as it did when it launched relentless attacks on Bush for not visiting the disaster areas.

At present Obama is too busy to visit Louisiana…busy on vacation playing golf.

The BBC’s Gavin Hewitt trembled with rage as he ranted about Bush.  Not a peep from the BBC as their hero goes awol and leaves Louisiana to its own devices…to sink or swim….despite reporting that this is…

 One of the worst US disasters in recent years

The BBC knows there is criticism of Obama…this is the single comment that they limit themselves to on this…

A local Baton Rouge paper has criticised President Obama for not visiting the affected area.

The BBC could have enlarged upon what that paper said….

We’ve seen this story before in Louisiana, and we don’t deserve a sequel. In 2005, a fly-over by a vacationing President George W. Bush became a symbol of official neglect for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The current president was among those making political hay out of Bush’s aloofness.

But it didn’t.

I guess there just aren’t enough black people suffering to make it worth while for Obama to visit and for the BBC to get indignant about……because of course the real reason Hewitt and Co raged on so much was because it was apparently Blacks who suffered the most in Katrina….the BBC tried to say Bush was racist and didn’t care about Black people.  The BBC naturally refused to point the finger of blame at the black mayor of New Orleans for the failure to organise evacuation and an effective response to the hurricane that he knew was on its way.

I was on BBC London a few days ago to “debate” the story concerning Oxford City Council seeking to potentially erase “Mr, Mrs and Miss” (which could offends transgenders of gay people, allegedly) and replace it with Mx. Failing that, this Council might follow Brighton Council and simply add “Mx” as the gender identifier for those who aren’t happy with Mr, Mrs, Miss. I tried to point out this sort of navel gazing is one reason why Labour are unelectable as a Government, and secondly that this sort of neo-Marxism alteration of gender is abhorrent and an assault on the family unit. Well, it went down like a lead balloon. I had a transgender person on the debate and whilst he/she was fine, I was subjected to constant interruption and hostility by the interviewer, Eddie Nestor, whereas he/she was given the soft soap treatment. Strikes me that the BBC instantly sympathises with the tiny minority of people with sexual identity problems and rather than accept they have a form of mental illness, it wants the rest of us to change our ways and “Mx” it up.

Breibart here echoes something I tweeted earlier today.

“The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) – a public broadcaster funded by a “TV licence” fee forced on UK television owners – has declared that resistance to Shariah law is “Islamophobic”. According to a news clip, BBC online coverage, and the comments of its reporter Catrin Nye, a man called “Paul” approached a BBC film crew while recording an interview with Islam campaigner Ruqaiya Haris. Ms. Haris, a Muslim activist and student at the School of Oriental and African Studies, is told by Paul, “There’s no Sharia law here”. Her and Ms. Nye’s reactions to the statement made freely in a public place are nothing short of hysterical.

In essence, the BBC thinks it “Islamophobic” to oppose Sharia Law in the UK and will tarnish the reputation of anyone who dares say otherwise. It’s another reason why the BBC is such a danger. It shills for a dark ages ideology.

Here we go, a new OPEN thread on which to detail the daily bias that oozes out of the BBC. Over to you…

We should reject and denounce this behaviour with “extreme prejudice ” People need to understand that if you behave in this manner you will have a high price to pay.

As the lefty think tank Demos sanctimoniously denounces Britain as ‘racist’ and Islamophobic the only comment on its page is this….note the threat to use ‘extreme prejudice’ extracting a high price from the West…that’s a threat to use violence….’terminate with extreme prejudice’ is a well known phrase meaning ‘kill’.   A racist and anti-Western Muslim raging against the UK where he has been safely harboured for 50 years and still doesn’t want to be part of society…in fact wants to be completely separate…where is the Demos report on such feelings in the Muslim community?

British society and schooling is the home of institutional racism. Native teachers are chicken racists. This is one of the main reason why Muslim community has been demanding state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school. Muslim children must develop their cultural, linguistic and spiritual identities before they are exposed to wider world, otherwise, they would be lost in western Jungle.

Muslim Community has been a victim of Paki-bashing in the past and now it is a victim of Islamophobia. The Tsunami of Islamophobia is a blessing in disguise. The greatest Urdu/Persian poet of Pakistan, after studying in Cambridge and Germany said that the Tsunami of the west made him a Muslim. I know a couple of Muslim ladies who never covered themselves in Pakistan but their daughters born and educated in the west, not only wear hijab but Niqab also. This is the fruit of Islamophobia suffered by these girls in state schools with non-Muslim monolingual teachers. It is a fact that British schooling is the home of institutional racism and British teachers are chicken racist.

For too long we have put our heads down. I will no longer be a victim. Its not a question of behaving like her…Its a point of meeting this kind of behaviour “head on”, we should reject and denounce this behaviour with “extreme prejudice ” People need to understand that if you behave in this manner you will have a high price to pay. Making excuses or seeking the high moral position might make you feel superior or above this base behaviour but what does your position do to stop it ?If I am abused in this manner I would have a response that would impact the aggressor in a physical or extremely verbal manner. My children are taught to respect “everyone ” to make a positive contribution to society BUT if someone attacks them verbally or physically they should “deal” with it so as to ensure it does not happen again to them or others. I have been in London for the last 50 years and still this problem exists. Obviously the “namby pamby,softly softly approach has failed.Time for something else ???

Multiculturalism is not about integration but about cultural plurality. It is not about separation but about respect and the deepening awareness of Unity in Diversity. Each culture will maintain its own intrinsic value and at the same time would be expected to contribute to the benefit of the whole society. Multiculturalism can accommodate diversity of all kinds – cultural, philosophical and religious – so that we can create a world without conflict and strife. Britain can assume the role of accommodation and concern for all peoples, for our planet and indeed for our survival. Multi-Culturalism is even more important and crucial after 9/11 and 7/7. Muslim youths are also likely to feel alienated by a focus on shared Brutishness, rather than multicultural diversity. Rather than promoting a single British “us” teaching should acknowledge that “us” can be diverse and plural. Children should be encouraged to explore differences in appearance, history and religion to reduce social and educational fears.
