The BBC’s College of Journalism will have to buck up its ideas.  Just what have they been teaching the BBC’s finest and brightest? I had always thought that the point of an interview was not only to ask questions and to get some answers to those questions but ultimately to publish those responses for public consumption.  Apparently I was wrong, the idea is to write up only … Continue reading →

      Here is possibly some of the worst and most sanctimonious, malevolent of BBC reporting you’ll ever see… The ‘sanitised narrative’ of Hiroshima’s atomic bombing The conventional wisdom in the United States is that the dropping of atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war, and because of that it was justified – end of story. Is that really the end of the story? It’s certainly a … Continue reading →

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhXTRsTYdwc   The BBC has an agenda that is highly evident when it comes to reporting anything to do with race or indeed religion, one religion in particular of course. When white people are filmed being racially abusive to non-whites on public transport the BBC will rapidly broadcast the videos with profound expressions of shocked sensibilities.  You see no such videos ffrom the BBC of black people abusing whites.  When … Continue reading →

Seen this? ‘The BBC’s flagship religious show Songs of Praise is being filmed at a touching chapel within a migrants’ camp in Calais, it has emerged. Do what? Producers have already spent two days shooting an episode at a makeshift Ethiopian Orthodox Church in the ‘Jungle’ camp, which will be broadcast on a date to be finalised. And the full crew for Songs of Praise is due to arrive at the … Continue reading →

Well then, it looks like Alan Yentob is a man with a lot of explaining to do with regard to HIS role in a/The Kids Company and b/Newsnight coverage of this story. Guido has additional insight here. The increasingly bizarre behaviour of this senior BBC executive raises more questions than answers.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncRGoqNUb1w     Most Black youths in America, and in the UK, that are killed, are killed by other Black youths. The BBC doesn’t want to know about that, their sole concern is the black men killed by white police officers or the callous disregard of society for black lives…and the BBC isn’t too interested in the whys and wherefores, just in portraying the issues in a stark black … Continue reading →

    Relax. How times change…or not. Dennis Potter laid into the BBC in 1993 in a vitriolic and bile filled rant against the predations of John Birt whilst also, naturally, raging against Thatcher and Murdoch. What’s interesting is the BBC’s defence of itself when it was under review as it is today……. “Broadcasting is at the heart of British Society. The structure and the competition of the broadcasting industry, … Continue reading →

Well, it’s pretty clear that the BBC want to see another President Clinton in the White House but the spotlight was on her GOP opponents last evening and in particular Donald Trump in the Fox News debate last night. I thought this was a telling quote from the BBC analysis of the debate… “Donald Trump was generally seen as an amusing sideshow.” Not a hint of bias there. FYI – … Continue reading →

And so to the wonders of the weekend! Here is a new OPEN THREAD for you to detail the bias.

    The dynamic duo are back, the climate change tag team of Richard Black and Roger Harrabin return for, hopefully, one performance only. Black is harrumphing loudly, in the Guardian, about Quentin Lett’s asking ‘What is the Point of the Met. Office?’ This is heresy and a damnable breach of BBC protocol. Damnit! Harrabin joins in and expresses his displeasure with a sneering tweet…     roger harrabin ‏@RHarrabin … Continue reading →
