has spotted a BBC interviewer (John Pienaar) apparently comparing the Coalition in the recent Iraq war to the Nazis. To be fair, if Pienaar really has read Anne Frank, he might have intended a more subtle and accurate comparison. I haven’t a copy to hand, but in her diary Anne Frank several times expresses her support and admiration for the Allied bomber crews – even though she was at risk … Continue reading →

writes: This is for the “BBC Bias” files. It shows how they rewrite stories that aren’t sufficiently negative. This is how the story originally appeared: Sunday, 7 September, 2003, 03:43 GMT 04:43 UK Second wave heads for Iraq Another 50 British troops have flown to Iraq, taking the total number of reinforcements this weekend to more than 100. Part of the second battalion light infantry based in Cyprus, they landed … Continue reading →

of Black Triangle writes: “Bush has just given his speech, the BBC report it as: Bush vows to defeat Iraq resistance. “Given that the majority of Iraqi’s do not want the US to leave and the people in the resistance are disguntled hardline Baath party members, or foreigners with their own agenda, then calling them ‘Iraq resistance’ seems a bit biased. “Surely the real Iraqi resistance are those working with … Continue reading →

. Seems that the Telegraph is going to start monitoring the BBC for itself. In announcing this move Charles Moore has this (and more) to say about BBC bias: No, BBC bias is not a piece of partisan trickery – it is a state of mind.

Who would’ve thought that after some four months since the overthrow of the Saddam regime, Humpty Dumpty is not yet re-assembled. (Via Andrew Sullivan.)

Stephen Lewis of the Sterling Times message board sent this link. Follow it, please. Now would be a good time. Mr Lewis has found a report on the Radio Nederlands website stating that the BBC, the BBC, is to monitor message boards for hate speech on behalf of the authorities. Once upon a time the only official way your home could be searched was by a policeman backed by a … Continue reading →

It gets better – this forum on whether there should be a new UN resolution on Iraq and more troops sent there, features …(drumroll)…’BBC reporters’. I am sorry, but a BBC reporter setting out matters relating to an issue is a news article, not a ‘Forum’. Perhaps they could ask Mahathir to comment on this as well (see post below on ‘Ask the expert’) – no odds on who he … Continue reading →

has plenty to say about “Moonbat” Mahathir, premier of Malaysia and believer in every anti-semitic conspiracy theory going, who the BBC bizarrely picked as one of their experts on Islam. (See Toby Blyth’s post of Sep 02 for earlier commentary on Charles Krauthammer’s appearance then disappearance on the same billing.) The BBC’s page called “Mahathir in his own words” is somewhat more honest than I expected, and does include two … Continue reading →
