The Today programme (0730) does an indepth investigation of the Whittingdale story. LOL. It’s all newspapers, newspapers, newspapers. Just why didn’t they publish the story on Whittingdale and just how much did it influence government policy on Press regulation?…asks the BBC’s Norman Smith. Trust is why this matters, its impact on government policy. The charge is this, he says, the redtops chose not to publish and you can contrast … Continue reading
Fascinating to watch Newsnight’s ‘coverage’ of the Whittingdale story (13 mins)…….what we got was only half the story because the BBC itself and Charter review never got a mention. Maitlis begins by asking ‘Is this a story about breach of privacy or a fatal conflict of interest?’ Telling us ‘We bring you what we know’. Now that’s just not true from the off. We hear that this was … Continue reading

Peter Grimes in the comments notes the Today programme’s disgracefully one-sided and highly misleading account (08:32) of the causes of the closure of 17 schools in Scotland due to structural failures. Listening to the report you would have come away with the impression that the school structural failures were possibly all due to austerity and Michael Gove. The schools were built in 2005… Edinburgh council chiefs have … Continue reading
The BBC’s reaction to a survey that reveals what Muslims believe has, rather than to investigate and discuss, been to ridicule, mock and undermine the results of the C4 survey……the findings of which could neatly be summarised by this cartoon…. They are quite explosive and incendiary, unpleasant reading for the BBC. Here is the BBC’s frontpage reaction to Trevor Phillips’ survey… Muslim poll mockery Muslims joke … Continue reading
