And as the weekend beckons, here is a new Open Thread to take us all off into the wide blue yonder. Detail the bias here.

We’ll mock Jesus but not Mohammed, says BBC boss   Gymnast Louis Smith is being intimidated, bullied and made the subject of serious hate crimes as Muslims make death threats to him every day and the BBC decides it is appropriate to join in and suggest he is racist and ‘Islamophobic’. In an interview with Emma Barnett on 5Live he was hung out to dry.  When asked if he was … Continue reading →

Con Coughlin in the Telegraph tells us… If anyone is to blame for the appalling suffering of Aleppo, it is the Stop The War Coalition. For its relentless propaganda campaign – and downright lies – relating to the recent military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan has achieved its goal of turning public opinion and parliament against initiating any further military interventions.

BBC leading their news this morning with the contention that Brexit means no Marmite in Tesco. They deliberately conflate a trade cost price conflict between Unilever and Tesco with the direct consequence of the Brexit vote.

What is the only thing of interest the website has taken from that interview and indeed the Today programme itself as it headlines the interview…Ex-MI6 boss rebuffs Johnson demo call…?  That Sawers criticises Boris Johnson for suggesting people protest outside of the Russian embassy about Syria. He’d be better having them … Continue reading →
