And, next up on The Big Question, “Should we always show compassion?” The BBC finds a lady who survived 7/7 and who feels that we cannot judge those who carried out this atrocity. She has been on a journey over the past four years and feels that the perpetrators have been radicalised and so were not to blame. Great. I am sure the Imam on the panel approved. They also … Continue reading
On the Big Question, with Nicky Campbell, the first question being asked is whether it is right to break the law to “save the planet”. In the audience were those from the London Climate Camp (all hideously white, I might add) who were there to insist that they have the right to do what they want to save us from global meltdown. One Swampy wannabe compared himself to Martin Luther … Continue reading
I see the BBC news has been running a story this morning about a group of eco-wackos in New York who have built a waterpod (out of recycled materials, natch)and are showing how they could cope if New York was to be submerged under rising sea level. A figure of a 70ft increase was mentioned, but not in the context of a sci-fi movie. The tone of the item was … Continue reading
It’s endless. I was listening to the BBC news at 9am and up popped yet ANOTHER item on Ted Kennedy. Both those interviewed were acolytes of the great man and were trotting out cliches like he was “A Lion” and “The champion of the ordinary man.” The BBC propagandising for Kennedy has been absolutely stunning, they are running it 24/7 and are determined that their hero be cast in the … Continue reading
Oh god, just when you thought our Armed Forces were up against enough in Afghanistan, I regret to advise you that Jonah Brown has decided to pay them a “surprise” visit. The BBC bigs up the import of this, suggesting that Brown will provide edxtra support those who serve. Maybe the BBC should focus on articles like this which demonstrate just how terrible is the scale of betrayal of our … Continue reading
I read this shocking instance of NHS incompetence. One can only imagine the upset felt by the family of Mr Milner. What struck me was that whilst the atrocious bungling of the NHS is set out in the first part of the report the BBC makes sure that not just one but two NHS apologists get to have the final say, assuring us that this was just one of those … Continue reading
And so the BBC’s fawning coverage of Ted Kennedy’s funeral continues. The One has pronounced Kennedy “the greatest legislator of our times” and “a champion for those who had none”. Like the Kopechne family? Mind you, if you wade through this nauseating bilge from the BBC, you will find in the very last sentence, a mention that “others” have “noted” Teddy boy was less than angelic.

Did you read about Alex Hilton’s hoax concerning the Mayor of Baltimore? Iain Dale has the insight here. Entertainingly, the BBC fell for it, hook line and sinker! When you consider the VAST resources the BBC has you would think that checking up on the veracity of alleged stories before running them might be a good idea. Still, The Graniard also fell for it!

Bless the BBC – they really are doing their level best to prove that the recession is over. “House Price rise hits five year high” it declares. Keep at it lads… we need more quality fiction. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Delighted to read James Murdoch attack the BBC. “The expansion of state-sponsored journalism is a threat to the plurality and independence of news provision, The BBC is dominant,” Mr Murdoch said. “Other organisations might rise and fall but the BBC’s income is guaranteed and growing.” That is the problem. The BBC, like the NHS, is insulated from commercial reality and is the perfect example of state sponsored journalism. Some of … Continue reading
