I was interested to see the BBC afford Brendan Cox, the husband of murdered Labour MP Jo Cox, the media time to push his “time for remembrance” agenda yesterday on the Marr programme and then throughout the day. Marr expressed his best wishes to the campaign being pushed by Cox.  Today marks the anniversary of the savage murder of Lee Rigby. The BBC makes no mention of it and no … Continue reading →

Here you go, it’s on-time and it needs your attention! Detail the bias here.

  The BBC told us that Trump dodged the bullet after having criticised Obama for doing the same and avoided linking Islam and terrorism in the same sentence in his speech in Saudi Arabia…. He did not include the controversial phrase “radical Islamic terrorism”. In the past, he has criticised his predecessor, Barack Obama, and others for not employing these terms, considered offensive by many Muslims. Clearly they weren’t listening … Continue reading →

The key takeaway from these latest blockbuster stories – there have been so many … Continue reading →

A better  late than never open thread…all yours……

  Imagine waking up to that in the morning…….on the airwaves of course….  

  They say the past is another country, certainly the BBC’s rewrite of our past makes Britain unrecognisable to most people, but truth itself is pretty unrecognisable if left in the BBC’s care.  History is a Past Truth Era for the BBC, one to be altered at will to suit the present and to shape the future to their liking. Consider the Obama loving Justin Webb.  The archetypal, stereotypical, dyed-in-the-wool … Continue reading →

  A living history lesson The BBC, most recently in the shape of Mardell and Bowen, disregard history and context at will in order to push a particular narrative of events in the Middle East.  They should realise that the ISIS blitz is an echo from the past…a modern day recreation of the first Islamic conquests by Muhammed…..the difference being that ISIS are unlikely to succeed long term considering the … Continue reading →
