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
Journalists apparently are enthusiastic, work hard if not smart, and are dogged to the point of stupidity…. Journalists drink too much, are bad at managing emotions, and operate at a lower level than average, according to a new study Journalists’ brains show a lower-than-average level of executive functioning, according to a new study, which means they have a below-average ability to regulate their emotions, suppress biases, solve complex problems, … Continue reading
I haven’t watched the BBC’s three part series on the events in Rochdale, I know what happened and why…and I know why the BBC has produced this programme as it comes so late to the party….Do we need pious, self-serving BBC shows to teach us anything?

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
The BBC scoffed and sneered yesterday when Trump stated that he and his administration were the subject of a witch-hunt…trouble is, as we all know, Trump is right…the Media are almost 100% against him…including the impartial BBC. A study from Harvard University puts meat on the barebones….and it makes for interesting reading. Which media organisation is one of the most balanced? Fox News. How does the BBC fair?
