Poor BBC. I listened with bated breath to their coverage of the stunning defeat for Obama’s Democrats in the heartland seat of Massachusetts. I mean, how would they spin this one? Well, strategy seems to be so far today to not talk about it too much, to then suggest it is Obama’s first real defeat since he ascended to power (So whitwashing the stunning defeats he suffered back in the … Continue reading
The dust has long settled over Hoaxenhagen and we are all still alive. 50 Days To Save The World turned out to be merely alive in a combination of Gordoom’s head and the hand-wringing siren call of the Warmists. Despite ClimateGate and a growing body of evidence to the contrary, rather like a George Romero zombie, the hysteria of AGW just won’t die. Consider this BBC “look back” over the conference … Continue reading
One of the great greenie apocalyptic lies is that flooding is on the increase because of ‘climate change’. Every time a river breaks its banks, Richard Black and his cronies mutter with smug satisfaction that it proves yet again that the science is ‘settled’. Their main partner in crime in this alarmism is the so-called Environment Agency, who have been proudly trumpeting – with full BBC assistance – a new … Continue reading
Here’s the blurb to a Mark Mardell report about Obama’s first year: In a BBC/Harris Poll 20% of Americans would give President Obama an ‘A’ for the job he’s done in year one. But an equal number of people give him a ‘C’, and the same percentage gives him an F! Mark Mardell reports. An F! About Obama! Beloved Obama! It’s inconceivable! It’s outrageous! Update. I see the BBC has … Continue reading

Interesting insight from someone who worked for the BBC “My sexuality was formed behind bike sheds and in school dormitories, a most unimaginatively clichéd pattern of pubescent fumbling. This propelled me into a lifestyle, reinforced by a social milieu of flamboyant media gays. At the BBC, where I worked for seven years, homosexuality was very nearly compulsory.” Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
During “Today” this morning, there were two instances of outrageous BBC grovelling to Labour. Just after 7.38am who pops up but John Reid to position himself as a champion of “individual freedom of conscience”. I thought this a bit rich coming from someone who has been at the centre of this ever more totalitarian government but he was given an easy ride. Then, just a few minutes later, we had … Continue reading
Have you picked up on BBC coverage of the Jihad attacks carried out by the Taliban in Kabul today? I suggest to you that the tone of the coverage was almost one of….admiration. The BBC seems to take perverse delight that these dark ages barbarians can carry out such atrocities. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Have you read Mark Mardell’s item on the fierce battle taking place in the USA for the senate seat left vacant by the death of Ted Kennedy? Mark seems quietly confident that the Dem’s will win this which strikes me as a bit odd since most other commentators are suggesting that Scott Brown is ahead in the polls and that Obama has been forced to do all he can to … Continue reading
