I picked this up care of a Biased-BBC reader DB on the most recent open thread and wanted to amplify the point made. You will recall the murderous assault on innocent Israelis that took place in Jerusalem on July 3rd. A Palestinian psycho hijacked a bulldozer and killed three people and critically injured several more before being shot dead. Then, on July 22nd another Palestinian tried a copycat murder, injuring … Continue reading
The BBC’s daily gushing tributes to Obama are an utter disgrace to the very notion of “impartiality.” I listened to Steve Rosenberg’s coverage of the visit by Obama to Germany on “The Today” programme this morning (7.42am) and a more fawning sycophantic biased item would be hard to find. Is Obama already President? Does John McCain even exist? As Steve points out, if Germans could vote in the US election … Continue reading
I see that the BBC gives great prominence to the decision taken by the EU to suspend largesse to Bulgaria worth hundreds of millions of euros because of concerns about corruption and organised crime. Oddly enough one has to scroll back to November of last year to read that the EU’s own annual financial accounts had still to be signed off, for the 13 year in a row. Likely neglect … Continue reading

Did you read this article from the BBC informing us that due to the serial recklessness of the sinister “alcohol industry” Government in the loathsome form of SuperNan Dawn Primarolo, may have to consider banning happy hour, banning larger wine glass sizes etc to help save the NHS?? Note how the article is contrived to establish the central proposition that individuals are NOT responsible for their own actions and need … Continue reading
Did you check out Matt Frei’s latest paean to Obama? Seems that Matt reckons ol’ Obama needs to start telling more jokes. But what sort of jokes I hear you ask? Frankie Boyle hatred style humour perhaps ? Nope. Instead Matt reminds us of the Obama classic..”Who can forget his comment about smoking and inhaling dope: “Of course I inhaled. I thought that was the point!” Way to go Matt, … Continue reading
It certainly seems that way as the BBC headlines: “Brown drives green car revolution“ While Cameron’s green politics were somehow a bit wishy-washy, Brown is truly green. The quotes they pick from Brown while reporting the Motor Show are as gaseous as could be- all “historic turning point” and “once in a generation opportunity”. It’s hot air, courtesy of the BBC. There are cabinet members for support (reported) and we … Continue reading
Don’t know if you ever watch the BBC2 alleged satirical comedy “Mock The Week”? I caught it the other evening and was revolted by the “satirists”Frankie Boyle and other panel members all having a great laugh at the prospect of Lady Thatcher dying. The question they were asked was if they thought she deserved a State Funeral, the answer was “Who cares so long as the bitch is dead!” Cue … Continue reading
Well now, hasn’t the BBC been busy promoting the adventures of the Great Leader in recent days? We had the fawning coverage of Brown’s trip to Iraq including that ludicrous image of him holding a machine gun; then we have him moving amongst Israeli and Palestinian leaders, bringing peace and dispensing £££millions to the savages that celebrated the release of child-killer Samir Kuntar; next Gordon is to warn Iran to … Continue reading
It’s a dream BBC headline for a Monday morning, brought about by yet another drippingly wet report from the uberleft Joseph Rowntree Foundation. In essence this risible report concludes that “social cohesion” cannot be brought about by imposing British values but rather by spending more cash fighting “deprivation.” In fairness to the BBC they do provide David Conway from Civitas the chance to respond to the Rowntree report, but he … Continue reading
