You may have noticed, as we’ve pointed out, that the BBC refuses to mention the fact that the Iranians arrested Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe because of her work at the BBC’s Media Action.  The Chair of which is still the BBC’s new head of news Fran  Unsworth. Will the BBC’s serious omission of dodging this inconvenient truth so as not to implicate the BBC in Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s plight be corrected now … Continue reading →

This week the Centre for Policy Studies published a report claiming to have found a left of centre bias in the BBC’s online reporting of think tanks. They also claim right of centre think tanks are more likely to receive health warnings than their left of centre counterparts. The CPS itself is hardly impartial on the BBC – it argues for a smaller BBC and campaigns against the licence fee. … Continue reading →

Our mission continues to be to provide information that can be trusted around the world. It’s a great liberal aim in the best sense: a public service. Liberal? See 35:54

Is it game over for Brexit? Rebel MPs have defeated the government in a vote on the EU Withdrawal Bill – the bill that’ll take the UK out of the EU. But Esther Webber (@estwebber) tells us why it’s not quite game over for Brexit.

I’m not sure what’s happened to Alan (Maybe the TV liecensing people took him to their dungeon) and I don’t have the admin rights to remove the old pinned thread, but here’s a new one for all your BBC bias needs.
