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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
The BBC also remains eerily silent (as in the previous posting) on the subject of Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the IPCC, whose multiple business interests linked messily to ‘climate change’ have been the subject of intense scrutiny in the dead tree press and here, here and here. It seems that the good doctor thinks nothing is wrong in being at the head of numerous banking and industrial groups … Continue reading
