The BBC and U2, eh? Hand in glove, they go. I can’t say I was surprised to find a pretty meaningless article on the BBC frontpage all day which described how the frontman of Talking Heads had bitched a little about U2’s lavishly funded world tour. The article can’t decide if it’s the obscene costs of the tour, or its obscene carbon footprint that’s the problem. But it gives the … Continue reading
I see that the BBC has afforded celebrity gay and businessman Sir Michael Bishop with a platform from which he can accuse the world of business of still holding prejudice against gay people. Peter Tatchell also gets the chance to put in his point of view. Naturally there is no contrary point of view. We’re all homophobes now….. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Sometimes the BBC goes beyond just normal bias into surreal bias. I happened to catch a story on Today this morning in which a BBC reporter stated that since coming to power in Gaza, Hamas has “cracked down on extremists.” Phew – aren’t we lucky that Hamas are so responsible and moderate?My god, when you think of just how savage the Hamas organisation is, ONLY through the prism of BBC … Continue reading
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

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
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
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
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
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
