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.

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

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.
