More pro-Obama doodling from the BBC. Once again, on the main news portal, is the earth-shattering and election clinching story that a 106-year-old American nun living in a convent in Rome is… going to vote for Obama. The faux cutesy angle on it is that she could well be the oldest person to vote in the 2008 US Presidential election. Sister Cecilia Gaudette, who last voted for President Eisenhower in … Continue reading
And still it comes – the BBC led attack on the McCain-Palin ticket. Here we read read an item entitled “McCain in “hatred” war of words”. The intent of the article is clear; it is to paint McCain-Palin as racists because…sharp intake of breath for Beeboids reading this …they dare criticise The One. It is a well woven piece of race-hustling, using the wild claims of Democrat John Lewis. As … Continue reading

Did you see the main news story on the BBC today? We have an image of Gordon Brown silhouetted against the Union Flag with the stirring headline “UK will lead the way”. Great stuff. I presume he means lead the way into the recession? The Labour Party must be so proud of the sustained campaigning carried out on its behalf so generously by the BBC in recent weeks. We have … Continue reading
Interesting to note that on the main BBC news portal this morning is the truly momentous headline that “The spoof Sarah Palin is boosting comedy ratings.” This is all part of the BBC’s carefully contrived determination to assassinate Sarah Palin’s character. Yesterday she was labelled as having abused power, now today she is mocked and ridiculed. Palin takes the Tina Fey spoofery in good spirits of course but the malignant … Continue reading
This and that Blognor Regis, writing about the BBC’s “Time Shift 8: How to be a good president”, says he does not go in for hate, but …then I take a look at this motley crew, the same old same old rapid response talking head squad, ready to pontificate on anything at anytime, only five minutes from this television studio: Jonathan Freedland is helped by distinguished contributors including James Naughtie, … Continue reading
How the BBC have been relishing the news that the Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has been found guilty of an abuse of power by an official inquiry in Alaska. If you want bias incarnate listen to this link if you can stomach it….with even Watergate being thrown into the rhetorical swirl. The BBC, like the rest of the Obamessiah cheer-leading MSM, are using this to beat up McCain and … Continue reading
I wonder did anyone else catch the discussion on Today between psychologist Oliver James and historian Dominic Sands just before 9am? James was advocating the need to end the US/UK economic model whilst hailing that of mainland Europe (!) whilst Sands was going along with the entire “end of days” for our consumer society motif. James also urged the return of ” old fashioned manufacturing” with a stunning disregard for … Continue reading
Why is the BBC determined to give Red Ken a perma-presence on its programmes? I see that he has been babbling on that Boris had the right to dismiss Sir Ian Blair as if anyone cares what he thinks anymore. Except the BBC that is, of course! I heard Red Ken being interviewed on 5 Live minutes after Blair had resigned and he got stuck into Boris making the predictable … Continue reading
James Forsyth has a good post over at the Specator’s Coffee House. Here’s the opening: If Coffee Housers missed it, I’d thoroughly recommend watching Kirsty Wark’s interview of George Osborne on Newsnight. It could easily be mistaken for a parody of BBC bias. Wark starts off by suggesting that the Tory governments of the 1980s are to blame for the current crisis; even Gordon Brown hasn’t attempted to claim this… … Continue reading
