SnoozeNight

      Newsnight, it’s redundant.  Who said so?  Ian Katz, the editor of Newsnight.   Well, sort of.  He tells us that the political interview is dead, has been for nearly 30 years. Thatcher killed it, of course, oh and Kinnock.  But Kinnock doesn’t count politically, he’s a never was, so Guardianista Katz can rag him without upsetting the fellow travellers. Oh hang on, news of the political interview’s … Continue reading

Still Liberal, Still Biased

  BBC had ‘deep liberal bias’ over immigration, says former news chief   Nothing’s changed since 2004. Here’s the BBC explaining, or rather explaining away, the immigration problem: Q&A: Calais migrant crisis explained   Immigrants are just wonderful the BBC tells us…they all want to work, they speak English better than the natives…and they don’t want any welfare handouts at all…..

Data Mining

Last week sometime, somewhere on the BBC I heard them tell us that 95% of scientific research data was still unanalysed, lying in drawers and filing cabinets, on computer hard drives, waiting to be checked out.

Look Back In Anger

    Scuttlebuck pointed this article in the Independent to us: Rotherham child sex abuse scandal: Labour Home Office to be probed over what Tony Blair’s government knew – and when The Independent on Sunday can reveal that a House of Commons committee is to investigate what Tony Blair’s Home Office knew about the Rotherham scandal as far back as 2001 after more evidence emerged about his government’s efforts to … Continue reading

Wilful Ignorance

  This was mentioned by Klingon in the comments and noted by Craig at ‘Is the BBC biased?‘ and I think it goes to the heart of everything the BBC does and why it gets it so wrong, so it is worth emphasisng again and again. Writer Kay Mellor is interviewed in the Guardian about her career when she makes an astonishing comment about the BBC’s attitude…. Kay Mellor: ‘Steven … Continue reading
