The normal process for a news story as it develops is that we get more information about events, the causes of them and the people involved in them. The BBC seems to have reversed that process and looks to be removing relevant information from the news. In the US a ‘disgruntled’, to say the least, ex-employee of a TV news station kills two other employees and claims that one … Continue reading →

Here you go, a new thread to detail the relentless bias. What’s been bothering YOU about BBC news coverage today?

    The BBC tells us: Europe ‘must open up to migrants’ How can it be so sure that this is the way ahead? European leaders should do more to open up and help migrants instead of using language that dismisses their rights, a UN expert on migrant rights has said. Ah, one of those UN ‘experts’.  Who might that be then? Talking about “marauders” and “swarms” was an unsubtle … Continue reading →

    The Radio Times, the BBC’s independent but apparently still loyal, Pravda-like publication has trumpeted this finding today: Two-thirds of viewers opposed to the licence fee changed their minds after just nine days without BBC services “Being without the BBC was absolutely dreadful, just awful,” said one man involved in the ‘deprivation study’. “I just didn’t realised how much we watched it…” First comment of  course is that no … Continue reading →

  Amused to hear the Today programme bring us a story about the government’s Ministry of Nudge… 0835 Behavioural scientist Dr David Halpern heads up Number 10’s ‘Nudge Unit’, the world’s first government institution that uses behavioural economics to examine and influence human behaviour, to ‘nudge’ us into making better decisions. We speak to him this morning.   Only to be followed by the BBC’s own masterclass in nudging us … Continue reading →

Justin Webb didn’t have a good day yesterday…….here’s yet another example…. Lock, stock and barrel from Bishop Hill: The unmentionables Aug 24, 2015 BBC Bureaucrats The BBC’s decision to part company with the Met Office has provoked a great deal of comment over the weekend (and a cartoon or two as well). Returning to my desk this morning I expected that the story would have run out of legs, but it … Continue reading →

  The BBC hates Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and apparently Sikhs.  It loves Muslims regardless of what they do. Hate?  Well maybe that is too strong a word but the BBC is perfectly willing to attack the foundations of almost all religions, to attack their credibility, authenticity and integrity and to charge a religion with accusations of violence and hatred towards other religions….well, towards Islam.  No such criticism is directed … Continue reading →

    The memo has gone out to all and sundry at the BBC….pump out the pro-immigration propaganda at every opportunity…and they listened. I caught this little exchange (2 hrs 4 mins) between a BBC sports presenter and British runner Rabah Yousef…. ‘Rabah, you’re proudly wearing Great Britain across your vest, you were born in the Sudan and came to Britain and had to seek asylum, how much does it … Continue reading →

I see the BBC have a new programme called Charisma: Pinning Down the Butterfly is a two-week series presented by Francine Stock starting on BBC Radio 4 on Monday, 24 August. I notice one of those to whom the BBC attribute “charisma” is Robert Mugabe. I am sure the next of kin of those white farmers murdered at the behest of this thug will be tuning in to hear just how charismatic … Continue reading →

I noticed the BBC have instantly gone on the attack as regards the plans announced by Iain Duncan Smith to reform the way in which the Disability system works. To my mind, IDS is being very sensible, seeking to move the model away from an absolutist whether you can work or not to one that examines how much work some might be able to do. To listen to the BBC, … Continue reading →
