The BBC said: “Where a presenter or reporter has publicly expressed a view on a particular issue, they would no longer be perceived as an impartial voice, therefore it is right they do not conduct interviews on that issue. This is in keeping with editorial guidelines.” So the BBC, as we know, has been paying women less than men for the same job, as well of course of only … Continue reading →

        Have to laugh at the hypocrisy of the stars at the Golden Globes who wore black in protest at sexism…..and yet they somehow seemed to forget the point of the exercise as they dressed to thrill….bums and boobs on show aplenty….how can they complain about sexism when they play on their sex appeal?     The BBC of course were fully supportive of the stars not … Continue reading →

HEALTH WARNING: One source only – Lidington to first sec. Greening to DWP. Perry to BEIS. Grayling party chairman. — Tim Shipman (@ShippersUnbound) January 8, 2018 Emma Barnett is like a dog with a bone as she continues her relentless narrative of a ‘weak’ Theresa May that she has been pushing for a year, totally ignoring the fact that May is in a very strong position, the only person who … Continue reading →

  Liked the fact that Woman’s hour couldn’t interview the BBC’s once China Editor due to impartiality rules….so they wheeled in a Guardian reporter instead.

Media columnist Michael Wolff says journalists are “having a nervous breakdown” as they attempt to cover President Trump. The Hollywood Reporter columnist and Newsweek writer told CNN’s Brian Stelter on “Reliable Sources” Sunday that the press goes into a “fit of apoplexy” after every move from the White House — an overreaction he said damages the media’s credibility.  “As we try to go after his credibility, our credibility becomes equally … Continue reading →

  The problem with the NHS?  It’s a funding issue, not millions more patients, and ‘some say’ the NHS is being deliberately run-down by the Government. Car sales down?  It’s because of ‘uncertainty due to Brexit’.  Trump?  A sex attacker just like Harvey Weinstein, an allegation made repeatedly on the Today show without a word of dissent.  Want to fly to America after Brexit?….not a chance…all flights will be grounded….#duetobrexit … Continue reading →

  The BBC described how the raging, embittered and resentful Remainer Lord [unelected] Adonis explained his ‘reasons in an excoriating letter’ for his resignation.  Trouble is, though the BBC presented his comments as rational and hard-hitting, they were far from that, being nothing less than a furiously frothy-mouthed, eye-swivelling, green-inked screed venting Adonis’s massive arrogance and frustration that he can’t have his way…a bit of a temper tantrum with teddy … Continue reading →

From Kate Hoey in the Telegraph today: For a strong supporter of leaving the European Union like me, who represents a Remain-voting constituency, it is easy to be downhearted amid the Westminster -Establishment bubble, steeped as it is in metropolitan liberal journalism.  Most of my Labour colleagues seem to take their opinions only from the Guardian, the Today programme and Newsnight. The negativity of the reporting on the EU negotiations … Continue reading →

Israel to Abbas: No, Jesus was not a Palestinian A happy New Year to one and all and may this site become redundant as soon as possible….though I somehow doubt it will as the BBC starts off as it no doubt means to go on…with Giles Fraser on Thought for the Day telling us Christ wasn’t  a Christian [surely the first one] …he’ll tell us next that Muhammed wasn’t a … Continue reading →

  Another Remain lemon goes Kamikazi for the cause as Lord Adonis, the unelected peer who owes his position to political patronage and privilege, resigns in order to, em,  further democracy, complaining that May has no popular mandate [other than a clear referendum vote on an historic turn out] to carry on with Brexit and he, as an unelected peer, will do everything he can to thwart that democratic vote … Continue reading →
