The BBC’s Lucy Grey [a ‘senior’ BBC journalist no less she tells us] has spent the last two weeks emoting from a boat in the Med telling us of the ‘rescue’ of immigrants by MSF. She greets the migrants as long lost relatives and is delighted they are being helped. Reporting or cheerleading? This isn’t ‘rescue’, it’s a taxi service that encourages economic migrants to swarm towards Europe….another 250,000 … Continue reading
The Question Time Live Chat plugin used for previous chats is broken and I haven’t been able to fix it. I think that the site host has disabled it. So, if there is any interest in having future Question Time chats, then we need a new site or chat plugin in order to host the chats. If anyone is aware of any such sites, then please let me know and … Continue reading

Here you go, a NEW Open thread on which to detail the bias. Over to you….
And so, just a few days after the 15th anniversary of 9/11, the BBC pounces on a story in New York that places a muslim as a victim. A British woman’s traditional Muslim clothing was set on fire on Fifth Avenue, New York police have said. The woman, who had been staying in a Manhattan hotel, was returning from sightseeing when she felt a warm spot on her arm, an officer … Continue reading
Extraordinary all the fuss over the US Presidential election…after all there is only one candidate..right? Maybe I’m wrong but watching the BBC I understand the lone candidate is some dreadful, racist oaf called Trump.

That of course was all a lot of fuss about nothing…an overheated conspiracy cooked … Continue reading
Following yesterday’s post, a Biased BBC reader says… “A previously issued press release written by sister Patricia – which suggested that Arquette returned to using male pronouns by the time of death – read: “He died as he lived, on his own terms. Our brother Robert, who became our brother Alexis, who became our sister Alexis, who became our brother Alexis, passed this morning September 11, at 12:32 am.“”He was … Continue reading
An eagle eyed B-BBC observes; “The BBC has long since dispensed with the gender specific term actress, yet today we have this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37336973 Refusing to use the term actress created all kinds of funny situations, including a headline that stated that Francois Holland was having an affair with an actor (who turned out to be an actress). But suddenly Alexis Arquette (who he/she?)…”
A biased BBC reader writes! Story 1 Fireman Sam episode pulled amid Koran row (27 July, 2016) An episode of Fireman Sam in which one character appears to tread on a page from the Koran has been withdrawn. A scene in the children’s programme shows a fireman slipping on a pile of papers – and as they fly into the air a page from the Koran is “briefly depicted”, … Continue reading
Well, at long last the BBC has been forced to cover a topic which up until now it has declared to be simply an obsession of “right wing extremists and conspiracy theorists”. I refer to Hillary Clinton’s health.
