Jon Snow grandly, sententiously, told us he was ‘bearing witness’ to events in Gaza rather than reporting them in a balanced and impartial manner. Never mind the facts, the context, the causes of those events that Snow ‘bears witness’ to. The BBC’s Archive on 4, Media and the Middle East, programme opened with Snow’s words. And it went downhill from there as it explored how the Israel/Palestinian conflict has … Continue reading
We had this story earlier in the month: Illegal immigrant clung to axle of motorhome for more than 100 miles to get to Britain from Calais through the Channel Tunnel Yesterday the BBC tackled it on 5 Live with Clare McDonnell, who, sad to say, could quite easily be mistaken for the much missed Victoria Derbyshire….who, you will be happy to know, brings her undoubted talents and take … Continue reading
I thought this was pretty good from Delingpole…! “MEMO TO THE BBC: THE ‘FAR RIGHT’ DID NOT DECAPITATE DAVID HAINES NOR RAPE 1400 GIRLS IN ROTHERHAM”
Here you go, a new general OPEN thread to detail the bias!
Well, Scotland gets to decide if it stays in the UK today and I am putting up this post to capture all your thoughts on BBC coverage of this issue!
I can see why the BBC might find Islam attractive what with death for apostasy being a favoured way of dealing with critical ex-members of the cult. Paxman is famously grumpy as he slowly grinds to a halt, and Paul Mason shows a distinct lack of loyalty as well…from The Spectator: Former Newsnight correspondent Paul Mason seems rather happy to be free of Auntie, especially since the Scottish … Continue reading
Nicky Campbell investigated ISIS this morning and what needed to be done about them. First of all we have to think up a really uncool name for them…To call them the Islamic State is just addressing them in the manner they want to be addressed and gives them a legitimacy they don’t deserve. Naturally they are ‘unIslamic’ but also barbaric, murderous and cruel terrorists…yes that’s right, terrorists. Curious that … Continue reading
BBC coverage of all things Israel is always cutting edge bias! I am aware that a rally had been organised to PROTEST against this but I understand thus has been moved. See below. “Thank you to everyone who has contacted us about our rally to protest media bias against Israel. This is an incredibly important issue, especially in the wake of Operation Protective Edge. Unfortunately, the date proposed for the … Continue reading
The SNP’s Jim Sillars made some astonishing threats to companies that didn’t promote the SNP pro-independence line: The No camp fear mongering has had an effect on me – instead of retiring on 19th. September, I am staying in. This referendum is about power, and when we get a Yes majority, we will use that power for a day of reckoning with BP and the banks. The … Continue reading
The BBC is biased…in favour of the United Kingdom…… Nationalists brand BBC’s Nick Robinson ‘a liar’ as thousands protest at corporation’s ‘biased’ coverage on referendum Why? Because the BBC’s Nick Robinson actually did his job and asked an awkward question…one that Alex Salmond avoided answering…….the spineless Robinson then fell into line and meekly stated that Salmond had answered the question about tax…and note, Robinson has … Continue reading
