The week is flying by so here’s a new thread to DETAIL the bias! Over to you, dear reader.
A Biased BBC reader writes… “The News at Ten carried a rather gratuitous and grizzly feature last night where Ian Pannell prances around with the drug cartels, ghoulishly watching people inject heroin and dishevelled child drug mules, to show what an amazing journalist he is. The images of squalor, desperation, jacking up and overdosing were framed against Donald Trump’s “build a wall” policy. We know that, for the BBC, exposure to … Continue reading
Fom Guido: The BBC’s World News America presenter Katty Kay is somewhat creatively telling US television viewers that Britons regret voting for Brexit. Last night Katty said on NBC’s Meet the Press that people didn’t really want to Leave and that Remain would win a second referendum: “We did opinion polls afterwards that showed that, actually, if we were to hold the referendum again, Remain would win. There were people who … Continue reading
The Labour Party is in turmoil and unable to provide an effective opposition and so the BBC steps up and does the job for them. There are changes being planned for the NHS and the BBC has decided to shout very loudly that, in its interpretation of a study, these are being kept secret for political reasons.

But still not everyone had the vote ; women were left out … Continue reading
President Elect Donald Trump’s decision to appoint Stephen Shannon to the position of Chief Strategist has triggered the snowflakes in the BBC. Mr Bannon stepped aside as executive chairman of Breitbart – a combative conservative site with an anti-establishment agenda that critics accuse of xenophobia and misogyny – to act as Mr Trump’s campaign chief. The BBC are in full despair. Having done all they could to demonise Trump they … Continue reading
On time, here is a NEW Open thread on which to detail the bias! The floor is yours…
US border patrol agent Michael Bernacke guns his SUV down the wide desert-sand road that lines the US-Mexican border through urban San Luis, Ariz. To his right stands a steel wall, 20 feet high and reinforced by cement-filled steel piping. To his left another tall fence of steel mesh. Ten yards beyond, a shorter cyclone fence is topped with jagged concertina wire. Visible to the north, through the gauze of … Continue reading
