Always interesting what you turn up when idly roaming the web…..The NUJ was concerned about ‘social media‘ in February 2016….and seems quite put out that politicians now have an outlet to allow them to make their own voice heard without the media filtering them… We can’t ignore social media, whether we like it or not. For good or ill it is shaping our industry in many ways. Whether it … Continue reading →

  Hate Brexit, think it is a car crash on the road to disaster?… then call ze Germans on the emergency stop number…. nein, nein, nein…The Fourth [Reich] emergency service…according to Herr Heseltine.   The BBC up to its old tricks again, still fighting the EU referendum trying to sow discontent and division. Campbell, or Mr Impartiality as he knowingly called himself, is having another of those ‘debates’ that ask … Continue reading →

From the BBC in January…above photo incuded…. Theresa May is to appear in a spread in glossy fashion magazine US Vogue, Downing Street has confirmed. The prime minister – who is known for her love of fashion, especially eye-catching shoes – posed for the renowned portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz. “The long-planned shoot for US Vogue will come out in April,” a No 10 spokesman said. Baroness Thatcher, who died in … Continue reading →

    O’Reilly last week took the unprecedented step of suing the corporation for age and sex discrimination. She says ageism at the BBC is “endemic”. “We have almost come to accept it as the norm, that if you are a woman you have to be a size 8 and have unlined skin. I hoped to be judged on my work as a journalist and broadcaster, not on the way … Continue reading →

    We’ve already asked the question as to why the BBC continues to give so much unquestioning airtime and respect to Baroness Warsi, someone who is not a voice of moderation but is a conservative, that is, fundamentalist, Muslim who propagandises on behalf of that ideology every chance she gets….her latest book proclaiming that Muslims are not the ‘enemy within’ and making huge excuses and demands for what she … Continue reading →

  The BBC and the rest of the Remain mafia went after the Mail when it criticised, quite rightly, the Judges’ decision on Article 50…..apparently the Mail was undermining the justice system and respect for their lordships.  Never mind the BBC had a programme dedicated to that very thing…Rogue Justice. Today I heard Justin Webb saying that ‘What people would be surprised at is a judge, who has had training … Continue reading →

  [The Daily Mail’s] faults and virtues (there are some of the latter) owe nothing to marketing constructs, the proprietor’s business interests, party loyalties or anything other than the editor’s judgement as to what people will read.   Who would you trust to produce the most honest and accurate news, the public service broadcasters like the BBC or the commercial media at the beck and call of corporate interests?  Naturally … Continue reading →

    YouTube has been publishing rude versions of children’s cartoons for years…the BBC has just caught up in an outbreak of outraged primness….naturally the real target is the ‘Social Media’ giants and free speech….the BBC taking another tack on ‘fake news’….dressing it up as concern for unsuspecting kids’ moral health… Is your child watching fake cartoons? 3 hours ago Trending found a number of YouTube channels have fake versions … Continue reading →

  As David linked to earlier, the BBC’s pro-Remain stance, it continues apace as Laura Kuenssberg warn us on the Today show of the ‘looming threat of Brexit’ and the ‘long and complicated process’ of negotiation.  We were also told that the EU was a political project not premised upon economics…so why does the BBC insist on shaping its reporting solely upon the economics…and making those reports inevitably negative about … Continue reading →

  “You can either wage Jihad by the tongue and by the mouth – that is ideological jihad – or by the hand and the sword. Those are the official categories of jihad…..And jihad by the hand and the sword can be done here in France [& the UK] with cars and knives.”  BBC   It is remarkable how politicians and the BBC launch outraged attacks on Google, Facebook and … Continue reading →
