The BBC and Labour? The same thing, redux. “Former Labour Cabinet minister James Purnell is being lined up to run BBC radio – in a move that critics said ‘makes a mockery’ of the BBC’s duty to be impartial. BBC sources said the former culture secretary, who served under both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, is set to be handed one of the corporation’s most sensitive editorial roles despite his … Continue reading →

Here you go, a BRAND NEW Open Thread to start another busy week of detailing BBC bias. Over to you…

And so, Team GB has a wonderful Rio Olympics by any standard. We finish 2nd, and above China. So, what does the BBC think? Well… Rio Olympics: Is team GB doing well – or is China doing badly?

Another massive flood in Louisiana and a missing President.  The difference this time?  This time the BBC isn’t indulging in a huge moral grandstanding exercise as it did when it launched relentless attacks on Bush for not visiting the disaster areas. At present Obama is too busy to visit Louisiana…busy on vacation playing golf. The BBC’s Gavin Hewitt trembled with rage as he ranted about Bush.  Not a peep from … Continue reading →

I was on BBC London a few days ago to “debate” the story concerning Oxford City Council seeking to potentially erase “Mr, Mrs and Miss” (which could offends transgenders of gay people, allegedly) and replace it with Mx. Failing that, this Council might follow Brighton Council and simply add “Mx” as the gender identifier for those who aren’t happy with Mr, Mrs, Miss. I tried to point out this sort … Continue reading →

Breibart here echoes something I tweeted earlier today. “The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) – a public broadcaster funded by a “TV licence” fee forced on UK television owners – has declared that resistance to Shariah law is “Islamophobic”. According to a news clip, BBC online coverage, and the comments of its reporter Catrin Nye, a man called “Paul” approached a BBC film crew while recording an interview with Islam campaigner Ruqaiya Haris. Ms. Haris, … Continue reading →

Here we go, a new OPEN thread on which to detail the daily bias that oozes out of the BBC. Over to you…

We should reject and denounce this behaviour with “extreme prejudice ” People need to understand that if you behave in this manner you will have a high price to pay. As the lefty think tank Demos sanctimoniously denounces Britain as ‘racist’ and Islamophobic the only comment on its page is this….note the threat to use ‘extreme prejudice’ extracting a high price from the West…that’s a threat to use violence….’terminate with … Continue reading →

  Interesting how the BBC completely ignored Owen Smith saying he would negotiate with ISIS…Derbyshire just swept on despite the remarkable statement and the BBC made no mention of it in its news bulletin summarys of the interview until the Tories started to attack Smith.  Corbyn dodged the question by saying he wouldn’t hold talks….openly…suggesting he would have a cosy chat with what will no doubt be his ‘friends’ in … Continue reading →

  The BBC is blitzing us with ‘Islamophobia’ today in the wake of a Demos report on what it says is a wave of Islamophobia on Twitter.…but the Tweets were from across the world not just in the UK.  And you have to ask what is Islamophobia in Demos’s and the BBC’s eyes?  You may get an idea from this report today: BBC Islamophobia discussion interrupted by Islamophobia An interview … Continue reading →
