Listening to Sunday this morning and we were apparently going to have a look at the Pope Tweeting what we actually got was the talk hijacked by, given over to, a Muslim who went on to tell us how wonderful the internet is for Islam. This may have backfired for the BBC who undoubtedly thought this was a good opportunity to show how modern, connected and integrated Muslims … Continue reading
Time for a new one of these. This is where to detail the bias. The floor is yours!
Glory be, the sainted Obama is soon to leave us…bu his place in history as a great American President is surely cemented. The BBC is here to ensure it is. Inside Obama’s Whitehouse A month after his victory, Barack Obama discovered America was on the verge of a great depression. He puts his plans for change on hold to pass the largest stimulus in history. Obama promises to close Guantanamo … Continue reading
Astonishing how the BBC can skirt around a subject and not mention it even as they talk about it….when they want to. Anyone think the Budget was all about not upsetting the punters before the referendum and keeping them onside with the pro-EU government? Lots of people have that opinion….maybe even the BBC, but it’s not letting on. Even in this report that is specifically about Osborne mentioning the … Continue reading

The best that they could come up with was that he had failed to meet his target of reducing debt as a proportion of GDP….Huw Edwards said sagely that this … Continue reading
David Dimbleby presents Question Time from Chelmsford. On the panel this week are: Ukip’s Roger Helmer MEP, director of the Institute of Economic Affairs, Mark Littlewood; Cameronian clown Nicky Morgan MP, Labour’s shadow defence secretary Emily Thornberry MP, and finally, for the SNP (since this week’s show is in southern England) trade and industry spokesperson Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh MP. Presumably she spends her days twiddling her thumbs.
Kick off tomorrow (Thursday) at 22.45
Here you go, a new Open Thread. BBC seem to abandoned any pretence in the US election and have gone full on anti-Trump mode. It reminds me of the way they treated Reagan and Thatcher -the bile is visceral.
Is the BBC still a member of the CBI? The BBC suspended its membership during the Scottish independence referendum when the CBI joined the No campaign…..did it renew its membership? The CBI is now supporting staying in the EU though disingenuously not doing so ‘officially’…. CBI to make economic case to remain in EU after reaffirming strong member mandate It tells us that…. 80% of CBI members, when weighted … Continue reading
Roger Harrabin’s grip on the BBC’s science output must have slipped as the below is something he would definitely not approve of…..no coincidence perhaps that it is an ITV journalist who made the programme… Saving Science from the Scientists Is science quite as scientific as it’s supposed to be? ITV Science Correspondent Alok Jha takes a look at how science research is really carried out, to find out if it … Continue reading
