I know that Biased BBC has quite a few readers involved in farming. 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.
The indefatigable Richard North has a dismissive take on the BBC’s latest article about Pachauri and Glaciergate. His point that the Beeb’s bias comes as much from what it leaves out could also apply to the most recent of Roger Harrabin’s Notes. For the second “note” running (see previous one here) Harrabin has expressed his anguished concern over recent developments in America. He says that Scott Brown’s election “certainly puts … Continue reading
Fancy watching a comedy about suicide bombers? The BBC covered Chris Morris’ long awaited film “Four Lions” which is premiering at the Sundance Film Festival this morning. The BBC were flogging the line that we have to stop demonising suicide bombers because they are part of our culture and that we needed to be more understanding towards the self-detonators. I can appreciate that Morris is a satirist, not sure if … Continue reading
David Hughes in the Telegraph: Few organisations do self-congratulation better than the BBC and this week the Corporation is pulling out the stops for its current affairs flagship Newsnight… …the programme today has a drawback for political junkies and that is its general view of the world. If you took all the trendy liberalism that makes up the BBC and bubbled it over the Bunsen burner until you were left … Continue reading
Today, it seems that the false ‘consensus’ around global warming is melting at a faster rate than ever before. Richard North has shown that the head of the IPCC solicited EU grants to research Himalayan glacier melt even though the claims of that melt were totally bogus; David Rose on the Mail on Sunday has evidence that the IPCC deliberately inflated melting ice theories to make the world pay attention; … Continue reading
In an article published this week, John Lloyd – not exactly a voice of the right – argues that Obama supporters can’t place the blame for The One’s unpopularity simply on right-wing media outlets. It’s worth reading in full, but I can’t resist sharing this section: …the swooning of much of the American and nearly all of the foreign media over Obama as he emerged as the most powerful candidate … Continue reading
