Further to my comment on the open thread about unintentional bias and moral superiority I just looked at Chas Newkey-Burden’s blog, and lo and behold, here’s an example.

It wasn’t even edgy and it wasn’t even funny; it was a cheap dig at Jews because of Israel, “an aggressive terrorist … Continue reading

An angry Biased BBC readers draw my attention to this nauseating example of how the BBC thinks. “Please note the disgusting use of the phrase “renegade Germans” to describe German Jewish and non-Jewish refugees, some of whom were able to flee the evil Nazi fascist laws passed from 1933 onwards, which took away their jobs, possessions, savings, homes, careers and ultimately would have taken away their lives if they had … Continue reading
As you know, I am standing in this UK General Election and as part of that process have been involved in several media events/debates, this morning one such took place at the BBC in Northern Ireland. You will all be pleased to know that I was introduced as a blogger who runs a site called “Biased BBC”. Nice to know they know we watch them. Sadly, there was no further … Continue reading
One of the ways that BBC bias operates is that those who presenters do not like are bludgeoned virtually to death when they appear on programmes. UKIP ex-leader Nigel Farage is well able to look after himself, but this morning Evan Davis went flat out on Today to rubbish UKIP’s claims of being able to make £50 billion savings in public spending. On my count there were 16 interruptions in … Continue reading

On the panel tonight are Schools Secretary Ed “Blinky” Balls, BBC favourite St. Vince “I’ve predicted 17 of the last 2 recessions” Cable, the … Continue reading

This Thursday evening again brings a double-bill of liveblogging…. “You lucky people”, as Tommy Trinder used to say. First up at 8.30pm we will be live blogging the 3rd Leaders’ Debate which is being broadcast on the BBC between 8.30pm and 10:00pm. Rather like the last Debate chat this promises to be great fun as once again 10 blogs will all be hosting it simultaneously. Let’s see if Dimbleby will … Continue reading

I am sure that you, like me, will have been touched to read David Cameron assert that he is “pro-BBC”. But the Tory leader told the Radio Times: “I’m probably the most pro-BBC Conservative leader there’s ever been. Looks like we will have a job to do SHOULD Cameron get into power….
