I dare say that the day US Senator Ted Kennedy pops his clogs the BBC will go into full on mourning. They just love that aquatically challenged oaf. However it seems that there is one Kennedy that has invoked the ire of the BBC, and her name is Sarah. Radio 2 presenter Sarah Kennedy has been chastised by the BBC for praisingright-wing politician Enoch Powell during her show. During her … Continue reading

So, Islamist homicide bombers detonate themselves in two hotels in Jakarta brutally killing several innocent people. The BBC reports this as the act of “attackers” – wonder if the word Jihadist is banned by those sensitive souls at the Beeb? Perhaps the people just “died”?

Gigits has an excellent post here picking up on the BBC’s increasingly freakish attempts to try and prop up McDoom. Of course they know that he is a busted flush but then there is the lovely Sarah – she who is a member of the “First wives club” apparently… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
What at first seemed like a straightforward controversy over war ethics has turned into one about irresponsible journalism. The original question asked:Should soldiers be compelled to risk their own lives by adhering strictly to military rules of engagement even when, in the fog and extreme chaos of war, they are faced with an unpredictable and fanatical enemy which is under no such obligation?Now, I’m asking:Is the media ever justified in … Continue reading

Meanwhile on the PM programme, I listened to Eddie Mair running a shock horror story about how poor old David Cameron’s Conservatives are linked to a Polish politician who allegedly made “homophobic” comments – NINE year ago!

One of the devastating consequences of decades of marriage breakdown here in the UK has been the resultant weakening of the family unit – so allowing Nanny State to enter our lives, interfere and contort things. I rather think the BBC appr0ves of this so that may go some way to explaining why a programme … Continue reading

We have media opportunist liberal Lembit Opik, then there is phew wot a scorcher Conservative parliamentary candidate Margot James, (the new Nadine Dorries now she is mad); there is Trasha from garbage TV, and of course we shouldn’t forget FT Editor Lionel Barber; finally there is lovely boy Chris Bryant from the Rhondda. … Continue reading
