BBC executive says corporation should foster ‘left-of-centre thinking’ reports the Telegraph. Hat tip: DB, who wrote in the comments to David Vance’s earlier post on this: “An anonymous commentator mentioned the Ben Stephenson piece in the comments here yesterday. I brought it to the attention of Conservative Home where Jonathan Isaby blogged it. This led to the Tory culture and media spokesman commenting on it, as did a number of … Continue reading
I see that the BBC has been running a Lancet generated sob story about the alarmingly high African male gay AIDS rate. It seems that the cause of this disease is “cultural, religious and political unwillingness to accept gay men as equal members of society”. The solution is to spend more money on it, apparently. We have to wade through several paragraphs of nonsense to discover that “gay men were … Continue reading

Am I alone in being far from surprised that Gordon Brown’s long term media attack dog, Damian McBride chose BBC “5 Live” to start the process of trying to restore his fortunes? I just knew that Victoria Derbyshire had to have some purpose in life and now we know what it is! It’s also interesting to observe how McBride is still trying to serve his master, the Dear Leader, by … Continue reading
You couldn’t really make it up! Ben Stephenson, the BBC’s drama commissioning controller states unequivocally: “We need to foster peculiarity, idiosyncrasy, stubborn-mindedness, left-of-centre thinking”. Why? That’s not the job of an unbiased broadcaster, is it? But it is the mission of a profoundly compromised leftist dominated State monopoly. My thanks to Mr Stephenson for confirming that which we all know to be true – the BBC is institutionally biased and … Continue reading
Notice the BBC made reference to both “occupied” East Jerusalem and other “occupied” Palestinian lands on the Ten O Clock New. Allah be praised, such impartial language from Al Beeb. They must really hate those pesky Jews. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Wonder what you make of the news that the BBC has been “stockpiling” thousands of doses of the swine flu drug Tamiflu? About 4,000 doses of the Tamiflu drug have been bought by the corporation. I rather agree with Scottish Tory public health spokesman Jackson Carlaw who has said that : “It is nothing short of disgraceful that a licence payer funded body is storing away an antiviral which is … Continue reading
Anyone catch Andrew Marr this morning and if so, is it contagious? More seriously, I heard him interview Conservative wee Georgie Osborne and then NuLabour leader in waiting Alan Johnson aka Postman Pat. I felt there was a visceral difference in the tone and attitude adopted by Marr during these interviews. With Osborne it was aggressive and challenging, but with Johnson it was conciliatory and agreeing. It’s as if the … Continue reading
I bet you feel all warm and content at the news how the BBC spends some of the many millions it takes from you… The BBC has paid £1.2 million in fees in the last year to companies owned by closerelatives of senior executives in new allegations of cronyism. The lion’s share was taken by Samir Shah, a non executive director of thecorporation, whose production company Juniper Communications was paid … Continue reading
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
