When will the BBC finally wake up to the fact that ‘climate change’ is a scam? When will some light penetrate the thick skulls that inhabit the corridors of the corporation of overspend? When will they start writing balanced journalism instead of agitprop? The evidence of this piece about river flooding is not for a very long time. Lord Smith is a Nu Labour ex-minister who in his new role … Continue reading
If anybody had any doubts about the BBC’s bias take a look at the way they spin this fascinating story.A courageous man has not only risked the penalty for apostasy, but also converted to Christianity and denounced his father’s organisation, Hamas. “But now we learn that his courage and his principles extended far further than this. As Ha’aretz reports, for ten years Yousef worked for the Israeli security service Shin … Continue reading
Halfway through the week. Old thread too far down, so here’s a new one. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
The Day the Immigrants Left.A programme that did what it set out to do, prove that economic migration was necessary in broken Britain. It’s a foregone conclusion that such a programme would show that immigration Is a Good Thing. With a format reminiscent of millions of other irritating programmes, Evan Davis set out to give a pre-selected group of guinea pigs a challenge ‘to see how they got on.’As if … Continue reading
Question Time this week comes from 2009 European City of Sport, Cardiff. The panel is perma-tanned oxygen thief Peter Hain, the Shadow Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox MP, the Plaid Cymru leader Elfyn Llwyd MP, UKIP’s Nigel Farage MEP and the unspeakably awful Janet Street Porter. For those who wish to take part in the Biased-BBC Buzzword Bingo, we will be playing by the “Flying Nokia Rules” meaning that anyone … Continue reading
The very sad death of Cuban dissident Orlando Zapata Tamayo has come at exactly the wrong time for Matt Frei whose first report from his visit to the communist dictatorship is a typically clichéd “triumph over adversity” BBC item. At least someone at the Beeb was embarrassed enough to mention “the death of one of the country’s leading political prisoners” in the blurb under Frei’s video. (Hat tips to various … Continue reading
Did the BBC withdraw Nigel Farage’s invitation to appear on last week’s Question Time in Middlesbrough over fears about what he might say regarding the closure of the Corus steel plant on Teesside? Tata and Pachauri do like to threaten their critics with lawyers (remember the BBC’s spineless response to complaints by the Muslim Council of Britain following Charles Moore’s QT comments). Or does the BBC not need a specific … Continue reading
I missed this in The Guardian last week: The Now Show, the vehicle for comedians Punt and Dennis, will be renamed The Vote Now Show, for the duration of the election campaign and broadcast every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. FFS. The article also says that Labour Party supporter Simon Schama will be presenting Radio 4’s A Point of View for three months. Click through to read and contribute comments on … Continue reading
Last night, Irish republican terrorists detonated a car bomb at the Court House in Newry. No one was killed or injured but this was through good luck rather than design. Back in 1985, other Irish republican terrorists bombed this same building. Their proxies now sit in government. This morning, on the BBC, I heard the BBC’s political correspondent Mark Simpson claim that those responsible for the bombing last night had … Continue reading
Illegal immigration features strongly on the BBC this morning. If you listen to this item you will hear the BBC bemoan Obama’s failure to deal “radically” with the millions of illegal immigrants i.e handing them an amnesty for their law-breaking. This is an entirely one-sided issue as presented by Kevin Connolly and another example of how the BBC consistently favours illegal immigration.
