Good to hear the BBC raising important issues that prick the social conscience of the nation and remind us of the callous indifference that the Tories have for the suffering of the poorest in society. Last year Labour’s PCC, in Durham, Ron Hogg, launched a new scheme to help those forced into a life of crime by ‘Austerity Britain’: Police going easy on skint shoplifting mums in Austerity … Continue reading →

The decapitation of US journalist James Foley has caused a stirring at the BBC. I was on BBC London this morning and asked if I though the fact that the man who murdered Mr Foley spoke with a London accent was shocking. I said no, and am surprised anyone could be surprised at this. Last year, in LONDON, we saw the virtual decapitation of Lee Rigby by two “British” Muslims … Continue reading →

Here you go and it’s on time. Please detail the bias here. Keep it polite and on topic. The floor is yours…

    Jon Donnison gets ever more bizarre:                           Still relying on children to get people to look at his ‘journalism’ though….                   He’s so popular that he has to limit those who want to read  and respond to his schtick:               Some unfortunately … Continue reading →

    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 →

I know this was posted on a previous thread but it is so apt, and so sums up the willingness of those such as the BBC to believe the Pallywood productions in their quest to demonise Israel. Hamas – they can bring the dead back to life but the BBC manage to miss that.

Here you go, a new Open Thread for you to detail bias on the BBC. Keep it to the point and keep it polite! Thanks.

    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 →

    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 →

    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 →
