Friday and the weekend approaches! Time for a new Open Thread on which to detail the daily putrid bias of the BBC.

So, another Islamist attack in Paris. One Police officer dead, others injured. How will the BBC cover this given that France prepares to go to the polls? Well, I listened to BBC Radio 4 Today this morning and they were speculating that this terror attack might well bring extra votes to…..Francois Fillon! Yup, despite the fact he is just another part of the bland cowered French establishment the goold old … Continue reading →

  Trump, Farage, Le Pen etc have all been dismissed by the BBC as ‘populist’ politicians…a contemptuous sneer that says not only are their policies not serious or worthy of consideration but that anyone who votes for them is somewhat stupid and driven by emotion and feelings rather than reason and good sense. Oddly one politician who goes for the exact same rhetoric and style, Jeremy Corbyn, is not labelled … Continue reading →

  John Redwood has realised the BBC isn’t there to report the news but to shape the news…. The BBC is more interested in shaping the news agenda than reporting it, says John Redwood.  Yesterday, I was phoned to be asked onto the BBC Radio 4 Today programme this morning. They said they wanted me to answer questions about how the election would change the UK’s ability to negotiate a … Continue reading →

  Well-done to the man who called in to Nicky Campbell and won his bet as he suggested that Theresa May, a vicar’s daughter, would not like to see mass debating on TV….cue dirty snigger and a non-plussed Campbell who moved rapidly on. That was the comedic, and possibly intellectual, highlight of the day on the Beeb. Campbell on form as usual as he asked a Tory MP ‘What lies … Continue reading →

Get this. Three white men were killed and another wounded when a black gunman opened fire in Fresno, California, in a suspected race attack, police have said. Kori Ali Muhammad shot 16 rounds in 90 seconds in the shooting spree on Tuesday, said Police Chief Jerry Dyer. He shouted “God is greatest” in Arabic when arrested but this was a hate crime not terrorism, Mr Dyer believed. “God is greatest”???? — the … Continue reading →

Here’s where you detail the bias! Let us know what the BBC has doing to incur your wrath!

  The BBC continues its blitz against the social media platforms…this time it’s Google who have been, apparently, promoting fake news about the blessed Obama….just what made the BBC’s Rory Cellan-Jones choose ‘Obama’ as his chosen subject?  He could have chosen any number of subjects that revealed the same issue such as Greg’s Bakery or the UK flag in order to show how Google’s algorithms produce some peculiarities….but no, he … Continue reading →

  Another election on June 8th….should have been on the 6th….considering. The BBC going negative already?…..only one positive voice on this vox pop…as usual from the Beeb…and why pick Bristol…a very pro-Remain area?…. Does Brenda speak for you?   Don’t know about Brenda but the BBC certainly doesn’t speak for me. My sympathies to the News-Watch crew who will be having some sleepless days and nights ahead as they undoubtedly … Continue reading →

  Where would we be without the BBC left to the mercies of the market driven corporate media? The BBC  naturally  is excellent value at less than 50p a day…but as with say the Pound Shop all is not as it seems and that ‘value’ looks distinctly underwhelming as the goods bought fall apart all too quickly or on closer scrutiny you discover they cost less because there is less … Continue reading →
