I was on BBC London yesterday morning at an ungodly hour discussing the Royal Charter for the BBC brought forward yesterday. In essence the only real surprise from the White Paper in May was that the Government is asking the BBC to reveal which of its “talent” earns more than the Prime Minister i.e. >£150,000. Turns that even this is a cop-out.. More than half of BBC stars paid more than … Continue reading →

For my sins I DID watch BBC Question Time last night. In case you missed it this was the panel. Not ONE pro-Brexit politician. The best they could do was haul on the Mails “Theatre critic and political sketch writer” Quentin Letts. I know that Campbell and McDonnell did tear into each other, and even the waspish Soubry had a go at Corbyn’s number 2 BUT this was another panel … Continue reading →

Here you go, a brand new OPEN thread to see us all off into the weekend – detail the BBC bias here please.

  Interesting timing you might think as the BBC announced the loss of TGBBO to C4 due to its lack of money…just before the government announced its Charter renewal white paper…never mind that Bake Off generates millions and is licensed to many countries around the world for which the BBC gets a cut. The negotiations went on for a year or so and yet the BBC managed to time the … Continue reading →

    The BBC is continuing its campaign against Brexit with endless tales of racism and economic armageddon linked to it.  Its journalists seem to have been given carte blanche to say whatever they like to undermine the democratic process and impose the EU back upon us. They completely ignore the fact that HM Opposition is led by terrorist supporting Marxists with a phalanx of ‘storm troopers’ there to smash … Continue reading →

  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 →

Tomorrow sees the Government publish the Royal Charter for the BBC, following May’s white paper. Any thoughts, hopes or expectations? Detail here.

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 →
