The BBC seems Pope-mad at the moment practically reporting every word of any Pope living or dead…indeed rifling through John Paul’s very personal letters for salacious tittle tattle that doesn’t exist…..hardly a day goes by without some dope on a Pope… Pope Francis questions Donald Trump’s Christianity Pope Francis decries migrant ‘tragedy’ at Mexico Mass Pope Francis set for historic Orthodox Patriarch meeting The Secret Letters of Pope John … Continue reading
Here comes the weekend and with it more BBC bias! Here is where to detail the bias!
Listening to the lightweight interview that slippery Mandelson had to ‘endure’ with John Humphrys the other day I wondered why the BBC didn’t remind us of this….The EU’s loyal lapdog…. Lord Mandelson must remain loyal to EU to guarantee pension Lord Mandelson is not allowed to criticise the European Union if he wants to keep hold of his £31,000-a-year pension as a former European Commissioner Mandelson will receive “a … Continue reading
Guess the BBC’s pro-EU coverage is paying off handsomely. Judging by this speech by the Culture Secretary, John Whittingdale, the BBC has little to fear from the Charter review…..indeed much to win as it is going to be able to charge for the iPlayer now. Their major loss is the BBC Trust which guarded the BBC’s dignity so fiercely and so badly served the paying audience. On another subject…..As … Continue reading
From Rod Liddle in the Spectator: The BBC. It does not break many stories partly because it does not think that there is a need to do so. Its journalists are part of a profession, not a trade. They sit above the rabble. And are not unduly bothered by how many people listen to them or watch them, unlike the rest of the media (which of course has to … Continue reading
Trotsky and Lenin believed that revolution in the West – in one of the key centers of capitalism – was necessary to secure the future of the international revolution. But they both also understood the importance of the revolts by those oppressed by colonialism and imperialism. As Trotsky put it in 1919, while on the frontline with the Red Army, “The road to Paris and London lies via … Continue reading

Just listening (on Today 08:44) to yet another Frank Gardner attack on Saudi Arabia….bet the Saudis wish they had paid off Gardner with the £1 million that they said they would pay him for his injuries received in a terrorist attack. Not saying it colours his reportage about Saudi but Frank’s a little bit bitter. Apparently Britain and the US is responsible for the war in Yemen because … Continue reading
I wonder if the BBC thinks that supporting the government position on the EU referendum will make the government look kindly upon the BBC when the Charter Renewal is finally decided? Has Lord Hall Hall got an agreement with Cameron? No, of course not, the independent and impartial BBC would never stoop so low. The BBC may interview some who support Brexit but it is becoming more and … Continue reading
When it’s not being used to spread Project Fear, BBC Radio 4 likes to relax by continually expressing its disgust at the success of Donald Trump and this morning was no exception. The BBC just cannot understand how a man like Trump – with his “awful” views – has had such a successful SuperTuesday! I can’t wait for him to become President, just as the UK exist the EU. It … Continue reading
