Caught an interview with Sir Hugh Orde, the politician masquerading as the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. The issue discussed was the raised threat from republican terrorists (or “dissidents” as the official euphemism would have it) and the news that British Army special forces have been sent to Northern Ireland to raise intelligence on this terror group. The BBC chose to frame the interview by pointing … Continue reading
Aunty Big brother is concerned that you should be concerned about global sexual equality in this time of World Economic Crisis which the dear leader Brown is not responsible for and grappling with . The fact that the concept would barely be understood by half the world is unimportant (they haven’t even noticed the WEC poor dears!). You and your emotional condition are the targets. Let’s only talk “global female … Continue reading
It’s quite interesting. Up until the point where I assumed most of the posting here on Biased BBC , I had a regular spot on the local BBC main politics programme here called “Hearts and Minds”. I had three minutes to provide my views on the political week – and as you might imagine, I tended to present a rather different view to the usual in-crowd right-on hacks that are … Continue reading
I’ve been away so sorry about lack of posts from me! Anyway back in time for Question Time and what a soaraway sizzler it promises to be. We have Shirl the Pearl Williams, we have Germaine “Moonbat” Greer , then there is wee Dougie Alexander, Conservative Andrew Mitchell (Sounds a bit drippy to me) and Toby Jug Young. Might be a laugh watching them big up Prudence ever since he … Continue reading
I’m taking a recent phenomenon, namely the social acceptability of ‘dinner party’ antisemitism, as a signal that it’s time to look beyond merely citing individual cases of bias. Each particle of bias inevitably joins forces with every other till they clump together into a massive whole and become the norm. Once accepted and firmly embedded, from there on in everything hurtles downhill. Antennae in my horns sense that we are … Continue reading
I wonder if the BBC can realise just how pandering this Kevin Connolly article is to Gordon Brown’s chosen narrative of his trip to Washington? Right from the beginning it takes the Brown line: “Even as the Prime Minister grapples with the catastrophic economic fallout of globalisation, he has been suffering at the hands of the media’s own version of it.” Attacks on Brown’s blatant showboating are described as “unkind”. … Continue reading
of imbalance Via a number of blogs, including the excellent Augean Stables, from figures discussed here, the casualty “footprints” of two ongoing conflicts. The BBC is obsessed with one of these conflicts. Can you guess which? As one blogger says: “My only hope is that, forty years from now, this scandal will be seen as a problem of the past. As a symptom of the problems of a society -our … Continue reading

! I see the health fascists in the SNP are trying to stop alcohol being priced “too cheaply” – whatever that means. This kind of Nanny Statism is beloved of the BBC since it embodies the central meme that the State always knows best. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I see that BBC are pushing the line that “Asians” are getting more and more into football but apparently racism still plays a part from deterring some of these “asians” from going to a game. Looks like soccer is also institutionally racist, just like every other UK institution. How lucky we are to have the BBC to point these matters out to us.
