The Rielle Story

Did you know the BBC has only mentioned Rielle Hunter once ever on its website? I didn’t intend to post about this. It just happened I had read on some US blogs and in the papers that John Edwards was being investigated by a Federal Grand Jury over illegal payments to Ms Hunter to buy her silence over their affair and was, you know, checking the BBC website for news … Continue reading

GOOD NEWS FRIDAY

I was pleased to read that one bunch of Islamic killers are busy killing another, as the BBC reports. The odd thing is the way in which the BBC report refers to those fighting against Hamas as being “radical”. I wonder if this is a BBC term of endearment? Hamas are about as “radical” as they come in the world of Islam but it seems that they have met some … Continue reading

HANNAN ONSLAUGHT

The BBC are really milking the Daniel Hannan comments on the NHS. I see that this is the LEAD story this evening on the BBC with the risible Health Secretary Andy Burnham declaring Hannan “unpatriotic” for his “attack” on the NHS. The BBC keep repeating the lie that Hannan has “attacked” our wonderful socialised health care system when in fact all he did was point out the all too obvious … Continue reading

MUSLIM WEDDINGS

Well, it’s not everyday I feel a sense of sympathy for a Labour MP but in all fairness, I did feel a little sorry for Jim Fitzpatrick when he was being interviewed on Today this morning. Fitzpatrick has incurred the wrath of all those “moderate” Muslims out there by walking out of a Muslim wedding that he and his wife were attending when they askes to sit apart from each … Continue reading

THE AFRICAN QUEEN…

Did you catch Evan Davies glowing report of Hillary Clinton’s grand tour of Africa? I had to laugh when he declared that Obama is promoting good governance in Africa by stating that “Africa’s future is up to Africans.” Well, that should ensure that there is no good governance given the track record of the collective of thugs and tyrants that hold power across the dark continent! The guy being interviewed, … Continue reading

DANIEL IN THE LIARS DEN…

OK, stick with me on this one please. BBC bias is often sophisticated and nowhere is there more obvious than on any discussion of State monoliths such as the NHS. One of the few Conservatives that impress me is Daniel Hannan. He is courageous, independent-minded and best of all, an actual conservative. That’s why I am not that shocked to read that he has been rebuked by his party leadership … Continue reading

WALKING ON THIN ICE

Here is a little more eco-wackery from our State Broadcaster – yes, one of the largest glaciers in Antarctica is thinning four times faster than it was 10 years ago, according to research seen by the BBC. When you think about it, the BBC channels Gore. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

ARE ALL MUSLIMS THE SAME?

Anyone catch the BBC Radio 4 programme earlier today entitled “Islam, Mullahs and the Media”? It asks “Are all Muslims the same”? I doubt it. Might have been more interesting to title the programme “Islam, Mullahs and terrorism”. It could have asked “Are all Mosques the same”…. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

Obstacles

“ I would urge [……..] those who work in the media as news and comment editors, [……] to read (this despatch) in full.It concerns the Fatah General Assembly which has been continuing for the past week in Bethlehem, and is central to understanding why Israeli-Palestinian peace remains so elusive. All this has been woefully underreported in the Western media. Instead, the BBC, for example, has been running yet more distorted … Continue reading
