For years, the respected Climate Audit site has been warning that the famous “Hockey Stick” – a graph based on tree ring proxies used by the IPCC and Al Gore to “prove” their AGW propaganda – is inaccurate. Over the past few days, he has published conclusive evidence that it it is. The compiler simply took the most dramatic tree ring data and ignored the rest. The true picture is … Continue reading
One of the biggest failings of the BBC is bias by omission. That is, they conveniently ignore the issues that really matter because they don’t accord with the BBC mindset. An organisation that spends £800m a year on newsgathering – probably the biggest operation of its kind anywhere in the world – fritters the money away. Take coverage of the EU, for example. Five years ago, the Wilson report damned … Continue reading
I know I go on about Thought for the Day but it really is like the five minute hate. Take this morning. Rev Joel Edwards popped up to tell us all about the wonders of Obama ( “400% increase in death threats than George W Bush”, he repeated) and suggested that perhaps Jimmy Carter was right that those who opposed The One are indeed racists. Edwards is entitled to his … Continue reading
Yeah – I’ve been waiting on this! Ever since this site was redesigned thanks to the All Seeing Eye and G.O.T. I noticed more and more people have become followers of B-BBC. In the space of the past few months this number has almost trebled and is now sitting at 100, not out by a long count! Whatever we do, we must be doing something right – and here’s to … Continue reading
Roman Polanski ‘in fighting mood’ says the BBC in a piece heavily larded with comments by people who are shocked – shocked – by the fact that the Swiss authorities should have arrested him and also be considering an American request for extradition. The Beeb finds a lot of people in the arts world eager to condemn, not just the arrest, but the idea that the US should still be … Continue reading

Anyone else catch the BBC’s slobbering coverage of Mandy’s speech at the Labour Party wake, sorry, I mean conference in Brighton? Also, I understand 5Live was bigging up McDoom’s chances allowing a Trade Union barons the chance to make de facto political broadcasts on behalf of the Dear Leader. They SO want their political soul-mates to rise from the dead and have convinced themselves that Mandelson is leading the way. … Continue reading
I did not see Andrew Marr ask McDoom if he was one of those people who took prescription drugs to “help get them through.” Did you? Is this, as some dear souls allege, evidence that the BBC is now anti-Labour? I see NO reason why Marr should not have and asked Brown whatever he wanted, is PM Brown some sort of special case? More of a basket-case if you ask … Continue reading
I see that the BBC is reporting that The Lightworker will travel to Copenhagen to support the bid by the city of Chicago to host the 2016 Olympic Games. (All those carbon emissions…still, in a good cause.) It then goes on to reveal that “A local Chicago TV that reported on Chicagoans NOT wanting the Olympics has been told NOT to run the report again.” More bully tactics from the … Continue reading
Anyone catch this item on the Iranian situation? Martin Indyk from the Brookings Institute gets short shrift as he exposes Iranian duplicity meanwhile the Iranian ambassador to the IAEA gets to waffle for four minutes even getting stuck into Trident. A very weak interview indeed with the Mullah’s apologist getting away with all kinds of lies. More like a monologue really…. Click through to read and contribute comments on this … Continue reading
