Crocodile Tears

    The BBC tells us that…. US President Barack Obama has said the beheading of US journalist James Foley is “an act of violence that shocks the conscience of the entire world”. Mr Obama compared Islamic State (IS), the group which made a video of Mr Foley’s killing, to a “cancer” and said its ideology was “bankrupt”.   I’m not sure why suddenly, when a journalist is killed, this … Continue reading

‘*****’

    The BBC have a great reluctance to mention anything to do with *****….as mentioned earlier they concentrate on other things that set the anti-Israel tone for the viewer, listener or reader. And again, look at the BBC’s MIddle East page and these are some of its top stories: Protest at Israel interfaith wedding UK’s Jewish Chronicle apology for Gaza ad Man returns Israel medal over Gaza     … Continue reading

Setting The Tone

    Fascinating what the BBC concentrates on in the Gaza conflict…not the fighting, or the reasons for it but the buildings turned to rubble, the children injured and the infrastrucutre damaged….all reports designed to make the audience react in a way sympathetic to the Palestinians and angry towards the Israelis….note all the sub-headlines….all about the damage, Israel, the blockade…but no ‘Hamas’…       And what of that headline…Israel … Continue reading

Blackout

    The BBC’s preferred narrative when reporting from Ferguson, a town they’d never heard of before but are now expert in its racial profile and dynamics, is that this  was a racially motivated killing by a white cop in a town divided by race with community tensions on a knife edge.  That is the thrust of their reporting on this event with little time given over to the police … Continue reading

JESSE JACKSON SPEAKS ON FERGUSON

Anyone catch Jesse Jackson on Today this morning? He was on at 7.17am. It’s amazing the way the BBC are portraying this outbreak of violence…they refer to it as being ‘almost a natural disaster”.  Along with other race hustlers like Al Sharpton, Jackson was playing the “poor oppressed minority” that have no choice but to…..riot, vandalise, loot, fire at police. For some reason, the BBC chose not to ask Jackson … Continue reading

PM….

I rarely listen to the BBC “PM’ drive programme but had the misfortune to do so earlier this evening. The BBC choose to repeat renewed violence in Gaza in the following way; “Israel has carried out attacks on Gaza after accusing Hamas of violating the cease-fire but Hamas denied firing them”…got it?  Cause and effect, eh BBC? Next there was a remarkable item on the Ferguson riots in Illinois. There … Continue reading

BBC Scaremongers About Student Loans

    On Thursday Martin Lewis, financial guru, kicked off about the media’s scaremongering about student loans (12:22)…Victoria Derbyshire is particularly guilty of this….having camped out on several student protests on the issue without making any real  effort to detail the way the student loan system works nor to challenge the student’s claims about the system….and many, many politically motivated comments from guests go uncorrected on BBC programmes about this … Continue reading
