Our reporting should resist the temptation to use language and tone which appear to accept consensus or received wisdom as fact or self-evident. We must challenge our own assumptions and experiences and also those which may be commonly held by parts of our audience. These can present some of the most difficult challenges to asserting that the BBC does not hold its own opinion.  Care should be taken … Continue reading →

Time for a new now of these, here is where you can detail the bias!

  The BBC’s ‘simpleton’ [©The Guardian] reporter, Hugh Sykes, thought that Cologne was down to a Far Right conspiracy to trick immigrants into behaving badly…..but a more credible theory is that it was orchestrated by the dark forces of the EU….this ‘conspiracy theory’ is actually backed with evidence of intent…. EU should ‘undermine national homogeneity’ says UN migration chief The EU should “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of … Continue reading →

    Interesting choice of photos by the BBC to illustrate its reports… On the upset caused by a change to a Spanish festival.….a story that had absolutely nothing to do with refugees…..   And a photo from a report about the anti-Christian ‘Commission on Religion and Belief in Public Life’s’ witterings….   Why illustrate such a report, which is really about Islam, with a picture calling Hindu Indian PM … Continue reading →

As George Walden once wrote in The Times, “Morality minus practicality is pious grandstanding, something best left to pop stars and theatre folk.” And BBC journalists. The BBC claimed on Sunday that no one knows what happened on New Years Eve….so just to confirm what everyone but the BBC knows here’s what happened… Today, the minister for North Rhine-Westphalia, the German state where Cologne is located, admitted that people of … Continue reading →

    Hilariously, 10 days after the mass attacks across Europe and endless eyewitness and police statements, the BBC says… Even now, no-one – and that includes the police – really knows what happened. But of course… “The police should think now about what they do to help us,” Michelle continued. “This is not a situation that’s normal in Germany or the Western world.” But she worries. “It would be … Continue reading →

  Your daughters, your wives next?  Lord Hall Hall, Mark Easton, Evan Davis, Hugh Sykes and all those BBC journalists who grandstand about immigration and ‘it’s the right thing to do’ owe one very big apology to the women of Europe whom they have put at risk with their relentless and nonsensical cheerleading of mass immigration and open borders. Cologne need not have happened. Sweden, Austria, France, Finland, Norway, and … Continue reading →

Rape Jihad? Labour at war with itself? No. Bowie is dead and the BBC are in mourning. Don’t get me wrong, I was a big fan too but I seriously wonder why this story is so big for the BBC. A cross dressing bisexual image (back in the day) probably gets BBC hearts a fluttering. Anyway, here is a new OPEN Thread. Fill it with bias in the same way … Continue reading →

      Nick Robinson, the man who was thought a likely candidate to make a good PR monkey for the Labour Party, [perhaps Laura Kuenssberg wasn’t available] and who wrote to his BBC colleagues to tell them to lay off Corbyn [as if they were ‘laying on’ him to start with] gave his local MP, one Jeremy Corbyn, a lovely little interview this morning on the Today show…nothing too … Continue reading →
