Category Archives: LOVING ED

BBC bias was on wonderful display this morning in this CRINGING interview with Ed Balls. Listen to Stephanie “Two Eds” Flanders set up Naughtie’s sycophantic interview with her former boyfriend by suggesting that the “arguments on the state of the global economy are running his way.” Really? I missed that but then again Stephanie has a very unique insight into Balls. On the economic substance of the matter, Balls is trotting out the infantile leftist argument that we need to get “growth” by increasing State expenditure and hiking taxes on “the rich” – so nothing new there. He even got away with suggesting that our fiscal problems are ENTIRELY the fault of the Banks, so absolving the recklessness of the Government in which he served. This was not an interview, it was a pathetic supplication and the BBC should be ashamed of itself.

BBC keen to give Ed Miliband the prime time slot on Today this morning. 8.10am .Not only did he get the usual soft shuffle interview in which he was allowed to waffle about the “complex” reasons behind the looting riots but then he got to talk further with a special panel the BBC had invited onto the programme. Miliband repeated the inane meme that somehow Bankers are part of the problem. Evidently he has decided there are no votes for him should he robustly deal with the thieving feral scum that constitute part of his core vote in some of these areas. What struck me most is that Miliband has absolutely NOTHING to add to this debate and yet there was the BBC hanging on his every non-word! It’s the same as Question Time last night with John “Class Warrior” Prescott utraged about the behavior of…bankers. It’s as if Labour, and their broadcasting arm the BBC, live in a parallel universe. The thugs that looted and wrecked our streets did so because the enjoyed it and thought they could get away with it. The complexity is an invention by the Left, propagated by the BBC.

Is it just me or has the BBC been going out of it’s way to ensure that Red Ed Miliband gets a rebuttal in every time the Coalition so much as opens its mouth? I was looking at this page concerning the Red One’s appearance at the Welsh Labour Party Conference today, note how they actually top and tail the item with videos of Miliband waffling in that ever so earnest but yet slightly scary wide eyed way. I don’t recall the Conservatives being granted the same frequency of coverage and rebuttal when Blair and Brown held court. Then again, if Cameron really is supporting Chris Patten as the next Chairman of the BBC, he deserves ALL he gets.
