It’s Friday, the weekend beckons, and it’s time for a new Open Thread. Detail the bias here please!

  If you have been listening to the BBC’s coverage of the latest football scandal you may have noticed a constant theme that gets slipped into the discussion…that of ‘TV money’, not actually naming Sky of course, corrupting the beautiful game. Is it just my imagination or is there an underlying line that the BBC is pushing…such as an attack on Sky? Perhaps we could check out what the BBC’s … Continue reading →

The BBC is running stories sympathetic to transexuals on a virtually daily basis. “When lifelong Republican Jennifer Williams arrived at the party’s National Convention in Cleveland this summer, she felt nervous. Although she was excited to be an honorary delegate for New Jersey, she was worried about how others would respond to her. She had attended many political events before this, including both of President George W Bush’s inaugurations, but … Continue reading →

Time for a new one of these! Here is where you detail the bias.

  Guido is listing the runners and riders he thinks could replace Shameless Milne as Labour’s Director of Communications.  Would have thought the obvious choice would be Nick Robinson, already offered such a role by Labour before and who is doing a fine job suppressing criticism of Corbyn on the BBC, or of course someone as equally shameless and off the wall as Milne, James O’Brien, now also doing a … Continue reading →

  Apparently the media have to stop being nasty to Corbyn.  Can’t say I’ve noticed the BBC being nasty, being very restrained and grovelling yes, nasty? no. Is the BBC biased? draws our attention to an article by Newsnight’s James O’Brien, the man whose stock in trade is a hefty dose of deep unpleasantness combined with lies, outraged moral anger and smug self-righteousness but who thinks poor old Corbyn is … Continue reading →
