GOD BLESS OBAMA…

By David Vance | December 24, 2009 - 9:05 am |December 24, 2009 NHS, obama

8 Comments

The BBC continues to provide comment on Obama by using hard left commentators such as Dennis Kucinich. Today @ 7.52am. In essence, the line peddled by Kucinich is that the US needs an “NHS” model of health-care and so the Obamacare model does not go far enough. It’s amazing how the BBC is only prepared to provide a forum for those who seek to attack Obama from the far left. … Continue reading →

Excellent letter here from the Dr. Sonja Boehmer-Christensen to the BBC detailing just how subtle but pernicious it propagandises on behalf of the AGW lobby has become. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

SO, HOW IS OBAMA DOING?

By David Vance | December 23, 2009 - 8:45 am |December 23, 2009 left wing values

20 Comments

Obama’s plunging approval ratings HAD to be eventually covered by the BBC and so it came about this morning, at 8.33, that in a sublime example of BBC bias, Today trundled on Arianna Huffington of the left wing Huffington Post. Her take, unsurprisingly, was that Obama had not been radical enough and all that pesky “compromise” (?) had disillusioned some supporters. IF the BBC was serious about balance – which … Continue reading →

A HIGHER LEVEL OF BIAS

By David Vance | December 23, 2009 - 8:37 am |December 23, 2009 anti public sector cuts., pro trades union

11 Comments

Did you catch the item on Today @ 7.50am concerning planned government cutbacks in higher education? What struck me was the sympathetic attitude Naughtie took when interviewing Sally Hunt, general secretary of the University College Union and this contrasted with the outright hostility then shown towards Andrew Haldenby of Reform. Not a trace of bias there, right? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

"world" "news"

39 Comments

The BBC is now promoting the cold weather in Europe to one of the top stories. What about the fact that more than half the entire USA is under snow at the moment? In any case the worst period for cold is over for most of central Europe at least (I know whereof I speak- in Prague where I am the daytime temperatures were minus 12 celsius or so only … Continue reading →

WHY SHOPLIFTING IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO…

By David Vance | December 22, 2009 - 8:38 am |December 22, 2009 pro-theft

40 Comments

With the retail stores so busy at the moment, up pops and Anglican cleric Tim Jones who reckons that shoplifting is understandable, if not desirable. Naturally the BBC found a soapbox for him this morning with viewers phoning in to express their delight at this most progressive of vicars. Tim blames “society” for letting thieves down and the BBC seemed delighted to find a Christian minister they can at last … Continue reading →

PEACE ON EARTH – GOODWILL TOWARDS IRAN

8 Comments

The BBC just keeps giving when it comes the Mullahs in Tehran. This morning it uncritically covers the latest lies from Ahmadinejad on the topic of Iranian nuclear intentions. Yes, I know the 12th Imam’s dining pal selected US network ABC to use as his conduit for propaganda (Big surprise, the BBC must be gutted) but I would have expected the BBC to at least provide those who suffer under … Continue reading →

PEACE ON EARTH, GOODWILL TO HAMAS

By David Vance | December 22, 2009 - 8:08 am |December 22, 2009 pro Hamas

25 Comments

I see the BBC has been doing it’s best for those poor innocents that support Hamas. It reports today that “the world” failed Gaza earlier this year. I agree. “The world” should have fully supported Israel as it sought to defend itself from the murderous intent of the Islamic Jihadists that constitute Hamas. But that’s NOT the line being retailed by the BBC this morning. No, you see the issue … Continue reading →
