The BBC is having a crisis. It hasn’t been able to settle on a position yet on how to report the case for military action against ISIS. Its natural stance would be to oppose any military action as it did with Afghanistan and Iraq but with ISIS displaying unhelpful signs of being out and out evil and a vast majority of MPs voting in favour the BBC has had … Continue reading
A new week dawns and so a new OPEN THREAD requires your attention! Detail the bias here please.
The BBC’s Lisa Jardine gives us her point of view….. A point of view: When historical fiction is more truthful than historical fact Fiction has the power to fill in the imaginative gaps left by history, writes Lisa Jardine.

One of the most popular reports on the BBC website is that the UK economy is in a double dip recession…a story from 2012.

He said French Muslims were united against … Continue reading
I see the BBC is playing down the fact that this was a MUSLIM who cut the head of a fellow worker having tried to convert others to the religion of peace. The name for this is Fort Hood syndrome.
A thread to take us across the weekend. Detail the bias as you see it HERE!
Well, it must have been such a tough one for the Comrades. I am referring to Red Ed’s absolutely woeful keynote speech at #lab14 and that unfortunate business of “forgetting” to discuss the Deficit and Immigration! How to spin THAT one, then? As we get closer to next May, the BBC are going to have their work cut out portraying Miliband as the next Prime Minister. It’s a bit like … Continue reading
How’s about THAT then, boys and gals?
