Things seem a bit pear-shaped so here’s an open thread to keep things moving.

Overdue but here you go. Detail the bias. It’s been a busy week for the BBC as they have pushed pro EU propaganda as fact, coped with their hero Obama becoming toxic, and endured Weird Ed being mocked by one and all! Detail the bias here please.

    The Brand wagon is still rolling strongly, promoting his book and revolution. Apparently the BBC still think he has important things to say and that he ‘has the ear of the youth’…the worthy Giles Fraser not being the audience winner they had obviously hoped for….I’m sure yesterday’s Radio One’s Breakfast show audience were thrilled to once again have Brand shoved down their throats….never mind R1’s audience apparently being … Continue reading →

    Did I really hear an EU apparatchik telling us on the Today show (08:34) that the UK has benefitted from the EU, receiving £70 billion in benefits from it, whilst the UK gives the EU a mere £6.7 billion? Sure I did hear that.   What I didn’t hear was any challenge to that, quite obviously, misleading ‘Fact’.   Even the Guardian admits the UK pays in more … Continue reading →

    ‘Today’ (08:40) brought us Steve Rosenberg, the BBC’s Moscow correspondent, who after a spell educating himself in Soviet Russia, pre the collapse of the Berlin Wall (No surprise there….a BBC journo studying in Moscow), and continuing to live there for the next 15 years (I’m sure he’s not gone native) tells us that the fall of the Berlin Wall was a disaster leading to war and conflict.  The … Continue reading →

          To Justin Webb…. Justin, when interviewing people it helps if you actually interview them.  Part of that is an inconvenient requirement that you ask questions, any questions, but preferably ones that actually make the interviewee reveal something of relevance to the subject. Unless a presenter is thrown into an interview without notice, they need to go in armed with good background knowledge. Presumably Justin, this … Continue reading →

Republicans win control of US Senate This wasn’t meant to happen…just as snow was a thing of the past the Republicans were meant to be on their last legs as the political landscape changed in the US along with the population profile. Guess all those Hispanic and Black voters weren’t persuaded by the Guardian and the BBC.  

  Isn’t it curious how the same person keeps bringing us ‘research’ that shows EU immigration benefits us….and the BBC loves it…. we’ve been here before… The BBC, Still Selling Us A Lie On Immigration   Christian Dustmann, an immigrant himself, was one of the architects of Labour’s EU immigration policy, and yet the BBC thinks it is perfectly reasonable to quote his research as if it was entirely trustworthy….I … Continue reading →

  Look away, look away. The BBC ‘manages’ Islam out of the story: Tower Hamlets Council ‘culture of cronyism’ criticised   Remarkably the BBC doesn’t think it important to quote what would seem a fairly incendiary statement from Eric Pickles which both the Telegraph and the Guardian quote….. Mr Pickles told the Commons, adding Mr Rahman’s administration had allowed homophobia, anti-Semitism and religious extremism to “fester”. “The abuse of taxpayers’ … Continue reading →

  Jon Donnison is infamous for his support for Hamas and his anti-Israel stance.  He continues the same narrative in Australia where his preoccupation is with the Islamic side of life there….in particular of course the ‘wave of Islamophobia’ sweeping across racist Australia.   Today he tweets a link to his FOOC piece on this subject (He’s so proud of it he has pinned the Tweet to the top of … Continue reading →
