I don’t watch Top Gear nor am I a fan of Jeremy Clarkson. I do enjoy some of his written articles and it is pretty clear he is not a part of the BBC Hive, despite the massive popularity of the programme he presents. What bothers me is that ever since the BBC took the decision NOT to renew his contract (he was not “sacked”) the BBC have run endless … Continue reading
Jim Naughtie has run the BBC rule over the Labour and Conservative leaders to see how they measure up. Any guesses? Here’s the Miliband run down…..though not running him down in the slightest. It takes 4 minutes before Naughtie can find anything critical to say of Miliband and then it’s only to ask if he is a bit indecisive…the answer of course being absolutely not…it’s a sign of … Continue reading
Via Bishop Hill.…the BBC’s idea of balance in reporting climate change…they are investigating sceptic’s claims about the science….and yet they are all pro-climate change people on the programme…Mark Lynas is an author and environmental campaigner, Mike Hulme is professor of Climate and Culture at Kings College London and Dr Helen Czerski is a broadcaster and ‘bubble physicist’ at UCL. Helen Czerski @helenczerski @SellaTheChemist @theresphysics @MichaelEMann @4589roger @guynewey And actually, … Continue reading

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aqNBEpdao4 The BBC is being strangely quiet about events surrounding the three little Jihadis who skipped off to join Isis. The BBC has until recently been bombarding us with tales of distraught families and police and security service failures. What anyone with a questioning mind might have asked is how the parents of these girls remained in the dark about their intentions, or possible intentions, when … Continue reading
I thought it was interesting the way the BBC present the “news’ that the Conservative Party are considering options for scrapping several benefits, Department for Work and Pensions document. The leaked files, to the BBC (SIC) commissioned by Tory officials, also suggest a regional benefits cap and taxing disability benefits as ways to help cut £12bn from the welfare budget by 2017/18. The Conservatives insisted the proposals were not party … Continue reading
Most polls indicate that Cameron emerged as the winner in the Channel 4/Sky debate last evening. But at 6.30am this morning and then subsequently across its news channel, the BBC handed the victory to Miliband. Remarkable.
Here you go, it’s Friday and this is timely! Detail the bias here!
The rising employment figures have always been a mystery, and an issue, for the BBC, they have never been able to accept that they must be a sign that something, somewhere is going right in the economy and the BBC has always sought to find something negative to say on the subject trying deliberately to undermine the perceived success of the economy….a central plank of the Tories’ election … Continue reading
Tariq Ramadan…the Muslim voice of reason, reform and renaissance, in the BBC’s, the Guardian’s and the Government’s eyes. Where is Tariq Ramadan? There has been a tragic plane crash in whihc 150 people have died and the news has been absolutely dominated by reports about this story.
