While we have been occupied with election business, the BBC’s delegitimisation of Israel carries on relentlessly. But they disguise the bias as best they can, because they know they’re being watched.There have been several seemingly trivial examples over the last few weeks. On the open thread, Pounce and David Preiser mention the BBC’s initial silence over Hamas’s bulldozing of Palestinian homes. (They weren’t the only ones who didn’t like the … Continue reading
I see that the BBC has apologised “unreservedly” after a radio DJ joked during a live broadcast that the Queen had died. Danny Kelly, 39, told BBC WM listeners he had an important announcement to make before saying: “Queen Elizabeth II has now died.” The DJ played the national anthem as he made the joke during his weekday afternoon slot on Monday, which is broadcast from the corporation’s Birmingham base … Continue reading

Anthony Watts, of the admirable Watts Up with That? blog is currently at the Fourth International Conference on Climate Change, where genuine climate scientists – as opposed to the buffoons who advocate global warming – are currently gathered in Chicago.
