Time for a new OPEN thread for you to detail the bias. The floor is yours….

Wanting to draw your attention to a new site that will be monitoring the BBC on an unprecedented basis during the build-up to the June 23 Referendum. The site is called www.bbccomplaints.com (sister to News-watch) Please make sure you bookmark it!  

The BBC ran this story with some enthusiasm today; Boris Johnson says an email telling his senior staff to back him over the EU referendum has been withdrawn. The London mayor, who is campaigning to leave the EU, said the memo to deputy mayors and senior advisers was “a cock-up, and not something I agree with”.It told them to “either advocate the mayor’s position or otherwise not openly contradict it” when … Continue reading →

    The BCC’s John Longworth was forced to resign for his comments on Brexit and the BBC has been repeatedly playing a clip of Phil Smith, the managing director of ‘Business West’ and BCC member, making a very aggressive attack on Longworth on the BBC’s PM programme on saturday.(11 mins).  Perhaps this clip should come with a health warning.

  Trump isn’t anti-migrant or anti-Muslim…he wants to stop illegal migration and temporarily control Muslim entry to the US until they work out how to deal with the threat of Islamic State infiltrators who aim to kill as many Americans as possible…..many established Hispanics support Trump’s statement as they see the vast numbers of poor Mexicans as a threat to their livelihoods…whilst the Democrats want an open door policy because … Continue reading →

  After David’s post on Somalia I thought this piece might be of interest and open a few eyes at the BBC whose narratives on Empire, colonialism and immigration are increasingly naive…..Diaspora Somalis are seen as ‘foreigners’ who do not integrate, destabilise Somali society which the Somalis want to keep ‘pure and authentically Somali’ and are acting like colonialists wanting to improve the natives…….   Somalis returning to the motherland … Continue reading →
