Aylan? Alien? Alan?

Alan Kurdi’s aunt: ‘My dead nephew’s picture saved thousands of lives’   Why do BBC journalists insist on changing the name of Aylan Kurdi to Alan Kurdi?  Are they trying desperately to make the name more familiar, less ‘alien’ to Brits so that we feel more empathy for the boy?  Does the BBC really think nobody feels any empathy and that they have to manipulate us by disrespecting and exploiting … Continue reading

Ramadi Remedy

  The Iraqi army retook Ramadi and is in the process of finishing off the ISIS die-hards whom you may think have not a chance in hell of winning Ramadi back…..unless you listen to the BBC which downplays the hard-won victory and sees only more war, destruction and of course refugees coming out of more such attacks on ISIS positions.  The BBC’s reports following the main battle seemed solely concerned … Continue reading

Islamic State, BBC. Spot the difference.

        The BBC was shut down for a while by hackers.  You wouldn’t put it past them to have organised it themselves in order to generate an ‘OMG!!!  Where’s the BBC?  What am I going to do with my life without the brilliant BBC, I miss it so much!?’ reaction in the run up to charter renewal…however of course that is conspiracy central nonsense….it was hackers practising … Continue reading

My Sainted Auntie

    If only we could see ourselves as others see us. The Left has an everpresent and unfounded conviction that they, and their ideology, are the end of history.  They are wrong, that would be Islam über alles.  They make a desert and call it peace. You can see the Left’s self-deceiving belief in action in the way that they report on the Republican Party as if it was … Continue reading

Dishonest Reporting

  H/T  Dave S in the comments…. The BBC’s a winner…. The 2015 Dishonest Reporter of the Year: Why the BBC Won When we looked back over our 2015 archives, it was clear which media outlet deserved this year’s Dishonest Reporter Award. The honor goes to perennial contender, BBC News. At any given time, the insidious nature of the BBC’s anti-Israel bias is its constant drip, drip effect. But this … Continue reading

Quest Editors

  The Guest Editors on the Today programme have been the ‘usual suspects’, even the supposedly right-leaning’ ones carefully selected to be sure they present the correct meassage. We’ve had the actor who was a socialist, anti-Tory and pro foreign aid spending, a cyclist who voted for Gordon Brown and gave us a broadcast on behalf of the Corbyn fellow, an immigrant wife of someone famous who preached immigration, a … Continue reading

Rumbled in Ramadi

  The Iraqi Army, that is the Iraqi National Army, has recaptured Ramadi from ISIS, with the help of Sunni tribal militia. The BBC’s ME correspondents must be distraught, this news having undermined their carefully crafted campaign and narrative about the Middle East that gloated about the rise of ISIS and the ‘fall’ of the ‘indiscriminately drawn borders’ that were imposed when Britain and France ‘carved up the Middle East’ … Continue reading
