BIAS DOWN UNDER..

Have a read of this from Nick Bryant. It’s his thoughts on Kevin Rudd’s performance at Copenhagen and asks the big question whether Kevin “”24/7” has done enough. It’s gushing tribute piece with the views of the Australian opposition buried away in one sentence. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

MCKELLAN ON MARR

I see that Andrew Marr was able to provide gay activitist and luvvie Ian McKellan with a soap-box this morning. McKellan is able to spout all sorts of imagined “homophobic” allegations against our society in general without any challenge from Marr. The BBC is an established forum for the advocacy of gay propaganda. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

A MATTER OF FUNDING..

Well, it at all sounded good. “Greg Dyke wants BBC license fee axed” “Greg Dyke, the former BBC director-general, has recommended the abolition of the licence fee after almost 90 years, in a report commissioned by David Cameron.” But then… “The broadcaster should instead be funded directly by the state from taxation, argues the dossier, to be published by the Conservatives in the New Year. Dyke, who is chairing a … Continue reading

STILL ABLE TO SHOCK

I tuned in very briefly this morning to Today and was taken aback by the gushing admiration that one of the BBC’s legion of eco-warrior reporters bestowed upon the speech at the Climatecon in Copenhagen by Hugo Chavez. It verged on hero-worship and shocked me because anyone who knows anything about this Venezuelan tyrant will know that he is an evil man, a thug, a clown. And yet, to at … Continue reading

Gentle Persuasion

Anti-Zionists have persuaded the BBC to alter a report about a row at the meeting held at the School of Oriental and African Studies, (SOAS) in which the guest speaker was South African trade unionist Bongani Masuku. Mr. Masuku has been condemned for hate speech by the South African Human Rights Commission. The SOAS audience consisted of pro Palestinian left wingers who wanted to confer chummily amongst themselves and share … Continue reading

CLIMATECON CLIMAX APPROACHES…

Anyone catch the BBC lead item on Today this morning at 8.10am? In a marvellous example of what the BBC sees as balance, we had Roger Harribin and Lord Stern discussing the chances of a “positive outcome” for those “developing nations.” The very idea that these third world kleptocracies are out to get as much of our financial resources as possible is never discussed. The images of Chavez and Mugabe … Continue reading

A LIGHT GOES OUT AT THE BBC…

Sorry to see Sir Terry Wogan broadcast his final early morning show. I think he was one of the few stars left in the BBC crown and when Chris Evans take his place in January I shall not be listening. Sir Terry’s genial charm, lack of vulgarity and common decency will be missed by many people and he leaves the BBC looking a poorer place. Click through to read and … Continue reading

Ireland, Ireland

The BBC gave the Irish sex abuse cases top billing They even made a Vatican-driven reorganisation of the Irish Catholic Church the main item on Radio Four news a fortnight later. Yesterday the resignation of a bishop made the PM news, with interviews and a correspondent report. Three online news items. You’d almost think Ireland hadn’t been an independent nation for the past 90-odd years. Yet coverage of the Irish … Continue reading
