An interesting quote from a BBC journo to Nick Cohen in response to Cohen’s previous article on the ‘disastrous’ rule of James Harding……Who’s in Charge of BBC News?…… As a loyalist it is hard to publicly criticise an organisation to which I owe so much. The journo went on….. There’s also a genuine climate of fear, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. People are afraid to speak out. I … Continue reading →

Office and that old fraud Bob Ward (who isn’t a scientist) who tells us….. Mr Ward said the trend for wetter … Continue reading →

  We have looked at the BBC’s ever growing commercial empire and massive influence in the media world that distorts the market for the genuinely commercial operators who haven’t got a tax payer funded safety net to cushion them in bad times and which allows the BBC to experiment and fail without penalty.
