The same can apply to the BNP.’ from the BBC dictionary…ala Orwell   From Teddy Bear in the comments….a BBC reply to someone who complained that they were referring to the BNP as right-wing when they should be called left-wing:   … Continue reading →

    Why is the BBC giving this herbert more publicity?…….   Immigration Street protesters gather outside Channel 4 offices A group of Southampton residents are protesting outside Channel 4’s headquarters against the pending TV series Immigration Street. Muslim broadcaster and community activist Mo Ansar, who lives in Southampton and took part in the protest, said the series producers, Love Productions, had been “reckless in their approach”. He said: “We’ve … Continue reading →

    Some thoughts on free speech, blasphemy and religion.   Curiously whilst the BBC reports this, Benedict Cumberbatch in call to pardon convicted gay men,  it hasn’t bothered to report the words of one of its favourite sons, Stephen Fry, when he denounced God……off with his head!  And they were pretty keen on his gay marriage after all….Why is Stephen Fry’s decision to get married a major news story … Continue reading →

      The BBC was having a field day yesterday with many of its favourite subjects in the spotlight…austerity, royalty and Thatcher, not to mention a bit of Imperial looting to cast a jaundiced eye over.  Not so much blatant bias that you could point a finger at and claim absolutely that it is bias but perhaps a more perncious, insidious type…a never ending flow of slights, innuendos, hints … Continue reading →

Time for a new one of these. Do detail the bias please!

Seems that the BBC might well take on that nickname for its ‘silent’ support for Labour in its effort to sink the Tories….its silent support being its bias by omission as it avoids reporting or highlighting unpleasant news for Miliband. Miliband yesterday launched his bid for election … Continue reading →

    Some links to peruse at your leisure that may help you form an opinion of the BBC’s coverage of world affairs: How Marine Le Pen is winning France’s gay vote The Front National now has the support of a quarter of Paris’s gay voters – and only 16 per cent of the straight ones   How will the Guardian and the BBC cover the Trinity Mirror phone hacking? … Continue reading →
