Is the sad death of Sir Bobby Robson really the single BIGGEST news story in the UK today? The BBC are giving it massive prominence which seems a tad disproportionate and I speak as someone who has a son who is a fervent Newcastle FC supporter! Look, it’s a shame that he has died, I think he was a nice guy and I did watch the testimonial for his Charity … Continue reading
Yes, it’s awful news, isn’t it? I refer to the killing of Islamic Jihadist leader Mohammed (sic) Yusef in Nigeria. Thank goodness those Human Rights activists in New Yorky City are on the case and pleading for an immediate investigation as to how this outrage could have happened. Let’s hope the results will be made public as it’s a bad news day when an Islamic killer gets, erm, killed. Anyway, … Continue reading
I notice that the BBC have been reporting on the deaths of two Spanish Civil Guard officers on the island on Majorca. It seems they were killed by Basque Separatists ETA. Mmmm. Or, alternatively, they were brutally murdered by Basque terrorists. Even the leftwing Spanish government call this an act of terrorism but the BBC studiously avoid the T word. Too judgemental, you see. Click through to read and contribute … Continue reading
I notice that the BBC is running a headline story about a Government move to stop so-called queue jumping for organ donation. A couple of points come to mind. One is that Parliament is not sitting, so the Government is spinning. The BBC is playing along with this. Another is that it is a wonderful piece of spin: fears of rich foreigners plundering our virgin NHS system, only to be … Continue reading
I’ve been posting here on Biased BBC for 18 months now and one lesson that I have fully taken on board during that time is NOT to feed the trolls that come along here. There has been one recurring troll who reincarnates himself under different names – he started off as Hillhunt and is now masquerading as Medicated not Educated (or something like that!) His key function is to derail … Continue reading
Wonder what you make of the BBC’s coverage of the victory that MS sufferer Debbie Purdy has had concerning her battle to have the law on assisted suicide clarified? She wanted to know if her husband would be prosecuted if he helped her end her life in Switzerland. The DPP must now clarify the position. It strikes me that the BBC is almost celebratory in tone and clearly in sympathy … Continue reading
Had to laugh at this pathetic bit of reporting from the BBC on the topic of the National ID card unveiled by Alan “Postie” Johnson today. Buried away in the linked BBC report (scan down to 11th paragraph) is the Home Office line that the absence of the Union Flag from the National ID card has nothing to do with offending Northern Ireland’s nationalist minority community. That’s not what is … Continue reading
Hi all. Been away all day so a quick catch up a number of stories. Did you catch the Today programme shilling for the liberal idea that the Police should give up the fight against the drugs barons and concentrate instead on helping the “victims”. This idea that illegal narcotics should be tolerated, if not fully accepted, is a recurrent theme on the Today programme and a BBC meme. One … Continue reading
Here’s an open space to register your latest concerns over BBC bias! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
For many years the BBC has been engaging in a two pronged campaign, on one front familiarising the British public with The Islamic World, and on the other steadily demonising Israel. This is, after all, the British Broadcasting Corporation, so this flying in the face of Judeo-Christian tradition defies logic. The current BBC has been able to pull off a mass suspension of disbelief by taking liberties with the ‘old’ … Continue reading
