I see the BBC is running the news that slow Joe Biden, Obama’s trained attack poodle, has told Israel that “it must” accept a two-State solution if the “conflict” with the Palestinians is to end. This entire BBC article is written entirely from a pro-Democrat position – which is at least a minor change since it’s normally written from a pro-Palestinian POV. These days, with The One, ascended into power, … Continue reading
That predictably biased UN report that criticises Israel and calls for war crimes investigations, and generally condemns Israel for existing, has stirred up relatively dormant Middle East issues again. Laura Trevelyan’s reports on News 24 even sounded balanced in comparison. She pointed out that Israel has said the UN report was hugely biased and didn’t represent the evidence that was given to them, but merely reflected Hamas’s account of events … Continue reading
In the comments to David’s recent post on Jacqui Smith’s list of people denied access to Britain, Not A Sheep has pointed out an example of BBC bias that achieves a sort of holy perfection. Take a look at this BBC effort to inform the public: Who is on UK ‘least wanted’ list?. What do Abdullah Qadri Al Ahdal, Yunis Al Astal, Safval Hijazi and the wonderfully named Wadgy Abd … Continue reading

Mmm, maybe I should rephrase that! Did you catch this item on BBC Today this morning concerning the fate of alleged British drug smuggler Samantha Orobator? At NO point was the possibility even discussed that she might have actually committed the crime of which she is accused by the Laos authorities. The BBC has been bigging up this story, with sympathetic interviews with her family. As has been remarked, funny … Continue reading
Nice to see that Jacqui Smith is politically correct even with those included on the list of those she denies access to Britain. So, for every Jew-hating Hamas extremist, there is a counter- balancing Jewish extremist. For every Islamic maniac, there is a white supremacist or a loony Baptist. All very nice, I must say. I am curious about the inclusion of US radio host Michael Savage on the list. … Continue reading
BBC bias by omission is much their preferred route. A news story which combines the twin dangers of Islam and the EU is not one that the State Broadcaster is interested in considering. So, instead we get to read about Berlusconi’s matrimonial disputes. It’s always a question of conformance to the narrative. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I have always admired the views put forward by former head of Ofsted Chris Woodhead. Along with Melanie Phillips, Chris has argued eloquently with detailed knowledge against the folly of the radical egalitarianism pursued by this wicked government. Chris has appeared on the BBC from time to time and usually got a hard time for his bother but he has always been a voice of sanity in the BBC’s bubbling … Continue reading
Good lord – and just when we thought the anachronism of the license-tax was bad enough, comes the news that Google could be be hit with an online advertising tax to boost the coffers of the BBC, under proposals being discussed by the Government. “Ministers are considering taxing search engines, download websites and broadband providers to fund public service TV and the roll-out of broadband…” One more reason to get … Continue reading
Why is the BBC still running as it’s lead story the “It’s the end of the world” hysteria because another handful of people have in the UK being diagnosed with swine flu? Ban ki-Moon and the rest of the UN bureaucracy must love this faux war – it’s perfect for them, and the BBC are determined to keep this as the single biggest news story in the UK today. Click … Continue reading
