Here is an excellent demolition of BBC “standards” in 2009. In defending Mr Ross, then, and allowing him to be paid £18 mllion to ask questions such as whether the Leader of the Opposition had masturbated at the age of 12 while thinking of the then Prime Mnister, the Director-General considered that he was serving the sustenance of citizenship, the promotion of education and the stimulation of learning and cultural … Continue reading
The BBC dragged on former SNP harridan Margo MacDonald to Today this morning to provide her with an opportunity to put forward her notion that the United Nations should set up a Committee to look into the “facts” of the Lockerbie bombing. Margo’s a bit of a truther when it comes to the Lockerbie and hinted at all kinds of shocking revelations coming out of her fantasy enquiry. Margo also … Continue reading
Obama’s “cash for clunkers” scheme has just finished and the BBC ran this item on it this morning, suggesting that it has been a hugely popular success. The meme is that the stimulus is working. In a four and a half minute item, the BBC kindly provided 30 seconds to the view that this has been far from economically effective and may cause more harm than good. The bias is … Continue reading
It’s almost surreal. In the endless quest to undermine ANY benefits stemming from the Afghan election, the BBC sends the witless Hugh Sykes to woodland near Calais in northern France. He is there to interview the hundreds of Afghan “refugees” squatting there awaiting entry into welfare central – the UK. It’s just terrible for these poor refugees, apparently. No “facilities” and awful weather. But on the bright side the unanimous … Continue reading

Sunday morning and a new open thread. Watching Nicky Campbell’s “Big Question” with a Muslim lecturer claiming that those who attend Christian courses convert to….Islam! Perhaps the BBC should become the Sharia Broadcasting Corporation such is the relentless advocacy of this dark ages pathology? Over to you, but as a lead question, do YOU feel that the BBC treats Islam different to how it creates Christianity/Judaism? If you agree, please … Continue reading
So, a former Army commander Col Stuart Tootal, writes an article in which he suggests that unless we show more political will and better support for our troops in Afghanistan we could “lose” the conflict in that land. Col Tootal also suggests that the campaign is “winnable”. Which headline does the BBC run with? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Reading this article about changes in the Taliban leadership I was struck by the way the language tends to validate them as an organisation. We are told: Pakistan’s Taliban movement has named a new leader, its deputy head Maulvi Faqir Mohammed has told the BBC. He said Hakimullah Mehsud, a close associate of ex-leader Baitullah Mehsud, had been unanimously appointed at a meeting in northern Pakistan. So, the “deputy-head” announces … Continue reading
It’s sweet to see that the BBC takes such an interest in Ramadan. Here you can read what Arafana from Wrexham makes of it all. It sounds so exciting! Wonder what she makes of the fact that Islam puts women on the same level of animals? Wonder what her view is on “honour killing”? The BBC doesn’t really go there…still, it’s the thought that counts. Happy Ramadan. Click through to … Continue reading
Did you catch this interview concerning South Africa’s “golden girl” Caster Semenya, she would won the Gold medal whilst looking more masculine than Usain Bolt? It seems that she, and that proud ANC government she represents are “humiliated” by the suggestion that “she” may in fact be a “he”. The BBC managed to find plenty of family and supporters who insisted that “she was really a she”. From the BBC … Continue reading
