Richard Bacon, possibly the BBC’s number one Obama fan (there’s some tough competition for the title) is set to become Simon Mayo’s replacement in the new year. His promotion to the afternoon slot should offer easy pickings for Biased BBC bloggers and commenters, especially when the US midterms come round.

I watched the interview on BBC1 breakfast this morning with McDoom and it really is all over for him. His staggering lack of charisma, his odd joker-like smile, his bumbling grasp of the economic realities, all too much for even the BBC to sanitise. Or so I thought. But up pops Nick Robinson to try and rally the troops for McCavity. Did you see it? Click through to read and … Continue reading
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
