Well, The Guardian along with 55 other newspaper titles in 45 countries may declare that we have “14 days to seal history’s verdict on this generation” as regards the gathering of the AGW cultists in not so wonderful Copenhagen, but hey, the BBC is doing the best it can for “the cause” today. Did anyone else catch “Today” this morning? Check out the totally unbiased headline “A Deal consistent with … Continue reading
Even the BBC’s coverage of bias is biased when it comes to the climate change debate. This, posted today, is the BBC’s attempt to create “balance” in the debate about AGW. I haven’t the time now to go into detail about why this is a blatant, pathetic whitewash. I am sure others will in due course. But how about for starters, the words devoted to the AGW case are far … Continue reading
Wat Tyler has responded to Marcus Brigstocke’s dire Now Show rant about the Taxpayers’ Alliance. This was Brigstocke’s humble tweet following the recording: “No knock out punch I fear” Yeah, because that was likely to happen. “Following a series of unfunny remarks made about us by Green Party and CND supporting posh kid Marcus Brigstocke on The Now Show, we have decided to disband the Taxpayers’ Alliance.” I see that … Continue reading
Further to Robin’s post yesterday about this week’s Newswatch, here are the transcripts of the exchanges between presenter Raymond Snoddy and environment correspondent Richard Black. First exchange: Snoddy: Richard Black, as a journalist do you think the BBC really underplayed this story despite Today and Newsnight items? Black: In quantitative terms I’m not sure that we have underplayed it. I don’t think that stands up. But there is another side … Continue reading
The Kate Silverton programme on Radio Five Live this morning dedicated a segment to telling us about all the wonderful positive things that will flow from the challenge of combating climate change (more recharging points for electric cars, refurbished homes, new factories, green jobs, a unicorn for every home, trees with money growing on them, that sort of thing). The guest they had on to help promote these lovely fluffy … Continue reading
I listened carefully in BBC bulletins last night and this morning to David Shukman spreading AGW panic about melting glaciers in Bolivia, which he left no doubt were because of “climate change”. Poor, hapless Bolivians were dying of thirst because of Western greed, etc. I decided to do a bit of google-digging to find if this, indeed, was the “consensus”. It turned out to be like wading through treacle because … Continue reading
Truly awful programme on BBC1 this morning where investigative journalist Fern Britton visits Desmond Tutu. It is just plain hero worship with Fern declaring that he is one of the great men who changed the history of the last century. The BBC admires Jew-hating Tutu and this sickening programme allows just one point of view – Tutu worship. Can you imagine how the BBC will handle the day when Mandela … Continue reading
The final part of a read-it-all post from Burning Our Money: BOM correspondent NN suffered a seizure while watching a BBC news report on Wednesday about salt traders in Timbuktu. According to the report – a NEWS report note – said traders have apparently had to swap their transport camels for great big climate destroying trucks, because global warming has made the camels too tired and thirsty to do the … Continue reading
The BBC positively ejaculates at the thought of “climate change” demonstrations. You can tell by the reverential tone in which it reports the sorry sight of government ministers, the primate of England and sundry law-breaking thugs telling us that we must spend billions on doing a King Canute.

A Biased BBC reader alerts us to this story. It concerns the sentencing of a Polish immigrant for the brutal murder of a young girl here in Northern Ireland. Scroll down the story and have a look at the image of the murdered girl. “Their priority? To airbrush out of the tragic girl’s fingers the cigarette she was smoking when photographed. Is a non-smoker’s life more important than that of … Continue reading
