For Mark Mardell there was only one word to describe Obama’s SOTU speech, and boy did he use it on the Today programme: “striking phrases… striking phrase… striking passage… the words were striking” (that last one appears on his blog, too). His colleague Paul Adams preferred a different cliché, telling the Today audience it was Obama’s “most important speech to date”. Of course it was Paul – they always are. … Continue reading
The BBC has finally woken up to some elements of the deluge of climate realism that has emerged via blogs over the past months, and has reported that the CRU may have acted illegally in not complying to freedom of information requests about its data. But have no fear, behind the scenes, its propagandists are working as assiduously as ever to produce ‘climate change’ moonshine. Back in November, I found … Continue reading
Question Time tonight comes from Basildon and the panel will feature Culture Secretary Little Ben Bradshaw, Lord Lawson, Baroness Tonge, The Sun journalist Jane Moore and Director of the Centre for Social Cohesion Douglas Murray. Early indications had been that Amanda Platell was on the programme but this no longer appears to be the case. Those wanting to get an idea of the political feel of the area – these are the General … Continue reading

The bias lies in the very first sentence. “UN development projects in Gaza are being stalled by Israel’s blockade of the region.” As we all know, the BBC has such a loathing of Israel that it always spins in favour of Hamastan and of course when the UN is involved, it’s a double-header of rancid bias. Wonder why the BBC couldn’t run the same item as follows, “UN development projects … Continue reading

A very noble but challenging activity but not one the BBC has much sympathy for – unless, of course, it is about environmentalism rather than producing food! Listened to an item this morning on Today @ 7.16am which was all about the link-up between farmers and environmentalists, aimed at squeezing more cash from Brussels in exchange for … Continue reading
Oh god – for the past two days now, Gordon Brown has been residing in the castle of a village near to where I live. He has landed here in Northern Ireland to “help” the local political parties “save” the “power=sharing” Assembly. Good old Gordon – such a nice man. The BBC narrative on what is happening here is framed in almost childish terms. They would have you believe that … Continue reading
Start the day the socialist way! All morning BBC Today has been droning on about the alleged “fact” that “inequality” between the richest and the poorest has been getting greater in the UK. BBC keen to explain on several occasions how this gap INCREASED during the years of evil Conservative government but even under the more enlightened rule of Labour, it has still grown, Isn’t it just awful and how … Continue reading
Hi All. Can I ask for you to please ensure that your strong and passionate views of BBC bias are expressed in civil terms. There is too much inappropriate language and it only takes away from so many good points. Thank for your understanding and support. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Bishop Hill: The BBC’s flagship Today programme featured an environmentalist presenter, John Humphrys, interviewing an environmentalist, Tony Juniper and an activist environmental scientist, Mike Hulme. Nobody to put the sceptic point of view. Again. A point also made by borderglider in the comments. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
