James Cove Update

On Monday I blogged about some of the ‘global warming is going to kill the ski industry’ stories produced by the BBC over recent years. Many of those news items came from the BBC’s long-time ‘man in the Alps’ James Cove who, I pointed out, had just started his own online ski news venture. For some reason I was in an uncharacteristically generous mood because I offered Cove my best … Continue reading

BIRD-BRAINED BBC

One of the defining features of the BBC’s ‘climate change’ coverage is that they give almost daily unmoderated airtime to government-funded fake charities such as the Royal Society for the Protection for Birds to spout their propaganda about habitats being under threat because of the relentlessly rising heat. Typing ‘RSPB climate change’ into the BBC website search engine yields a love-in orgy of hits, such as this one; such items … Continue reading

BBC IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Last night, BBC Northern Ireland ran a very important “Spotlight” programme which raises fundamental questions concerning the behaviour of Northern Ireland’s leading political dynasty – the Robinson family. This is causing seismic tremors in the local political topography and I think the BBC should be congratulated on finally producing a programme that has the consequence of challenging the political status quo. As I say, there are many issues flowing from … Continue reading

David Shukman on weather and climate

Following yesterday’s item aimed at making sure the kids are still on message about MMGW, today we had Newsround for grown-ups. In a report which aired on the 6 pm news on both BBC 1 and Radio 4 this evening, David Shukman explained: “The key thing is that there’s a difference between the weather and the climate. The weather’s what you get day by day, month by month, like this … Continue reading

SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH I…

Excellent spot by a Biased BBC reader here. Matt Frei, that stalwart of B-BBC, ponders what turns someone into a suicide bomber. He reviews the cases of several suicide bombers and wonders what they all have in common. Clue – he misses something rather obvious and it begins with the letter I….!

WOSSY IS OFF!

So, I am sure you heard the news that Jonathan Ross is to quit the BBC. Good. However in a way it doesn’t matter since there are MANY more spongers in the BBC feeding off our £3.5bn. So, one down but many more to go! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

Foregone Conclusion

Who could have doubted the sincerity of the bushy bearded cherub innocently proclaiming his bafflement and perplexity over the actions of his former best buddy?Not the BBC. They accepted it without a murmur. Our friend Qasam Rafiq is now the spokesman for the Federation of Student Islamic Societies. Those cute little cupid’s bow lips are employed to invite a multitude of speakers who have supported the holy war and called … Continue reading

A HAPPY CABINET?

You can’t beat the Today programme for sheer pro-Labour entertainment value. I caught Shaun “Where’s my Butler?” Woodward being interviewed by James Naughtie this morning on the issue of Gordon’s leadership (or lack of) and yesterday’s fun and games with Hewitt and Hoon. Woodward naturally dismissed this all as a distraction from the real issue (Cameron’s dithering) and declared (hand on heart, scout’s honour?) that he sat in “a happy … Continue reading
