I fully accept that there are different opinions on the issue of whether active homosexuals should be Ministers of religion. So the current debate happening in the Church of Scotland merits consideration from both sides. I was disappointed but not surprised to listen to this item on BBC Today this morning which is plainly only offering a PRO-gay lifestyle perspective. Surely the BBC should have provided a debate on the … Continue reading
BBC coverage of the utterly supine reaction of the US and UN to North Korea nuke tests predictable. It’s amazing how the BBC provides such an easy pass to the International set when it attacked everything Bush tried to do. In this golden era of Obama I presume that UN meetings that produce “stern” communications will substitute nicely for any action being taken. I bet Kim Jong Very Ill and … Continue reading

Had to laugh at this interview conducted by the BBC this morning with Foreign Office Minister Bill Rammell concerning North Korea’s underground nuke test. Talk about being given an easy ride! North Korea has shown total contempt for the “International Community” and in particular is thumbing it’s nose at Obama and his soft power approach to the issue. But the BBC cannot go too deep into this one since it … Continue reading
Q. What do you remember about the slap on the wrist given to the BBC by the BBC Trust’s Editorial Standards Committee? A. Some of the complaints about bias in the Middle east Editor’s reporting were upheld. All well and good. What has happened since? Has Jeremy Bowen changed? Has he been demoted? Has the reporting become less biased?The Zionist Federation and the intrepid Jonathan Turner who tussled with the … Continue reading
I don’t recall the BBC giving much attention to the banning of Facebook by the Iranian regime. However, all today they have been supposedly reporting on a supposed string of murders committed by a woman in Iran, supposedly inspired by Agatha Christie books. No context is given for this story- it’s seen as a curiosity and also a news story as “She has been described as Iran’s first female serial … Continue reading
I’m not a Roman Catholic but I am sure that any RC who is currently listening to the Nicky Campbell “Big Question” on BBC1 will be outraged at the deliberate manner in which the Church is being demonised following the revelations of abuse carried out by priests in Ireland. The child abuse in the Irish Republic is, of course, utterly appalling but let’s be clear about it – the BBC … Continue reading
Just spotted he who was Cat Stevens now Yusef Islam on the Andrew Marr show, giving us a song for a Sunday morn. Wonder if Andrew asked Yusef if he is still a profound anti-Semite and Hamas enthusiast? The BBC has never met a Jew-hater they didn’t like.

I read the BBC coverage of Druid Williams and Sentamu urging people NOT to vote for the BNP. This is presented as a moral intervention in national politics but I wondered why the BBC’s highly paid theological correspondents have not enquired why the holy duo did not take similar action to stop people voting for the pro-Jihad Respect Party or the pro-IRA Sinn Fein Party? Could it be that this … Continue reading
