Amused to hear that 5Live sports presenter, George Riley, wasn’t wanted at a ‘posh’ BBC radio station (presumably Radio 4) because his accent wasn’t good enough.(10:09) ‘When I first started here someone from another station, another BBC network, which has a number slightly lower than 5, said I didn’t sound right so they wouldn’t have me on their station.’ So much for celebrating diversity. Though not all found … Continue reading
The BBC sets out to defend its Latte drinking acolytes: Why are lattes associated with liberals? It comes to a conclusion…. ‘At a time when there is seemingly a Starbucks on every street corner and latte is sold in truck stops, there is something rather archaic about representing latte as the beverage of the elite. Instead, the reality is that “it’s a form of industrially produced, high-calorie, … Continue reading
I was listening to Tony Livesey castigating Sky News journalist Martin Brunt and explaining that the internet troll, Brenda Leyland, who has killed herself after being investigated by the police and interviewed by Brunt for Sky News, was in fact merely expressing an opinion in her Tweets and Livesey asks are we now unable to express opinions without the Press doorstepping, hounding and exposing us?

Hi folks! Just back from a week’s holiday and apart from enduring the occasional BBC World Service broadcast, managed to avoid the ‘world class” journalism so beloved of the Beeb. Ah, bliss. Now, back to reality…
‘A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when a great organisation must ask: if it lies to itself, can it demand the truth of others?’ The BBC has a long history of pandering to Islamist extremists and presenting them to an unsuspecting audience as credible, authoritative and moderate Muslims whose words and beliefs are given all the more weight by the unquestioning platform afforded them … Continue reading
And as the working week draws to an end, a new OPEN THREAD to see us off into the wide blue yonder of the weekend. Detail the bias.
‘Although you may tolerate Islam, Islam might not tolerate you.’ Yesterday Nicky Campbell asked ‘Would you support an amnesty for Jihadists?’ This was the day after David Cameron denounced such people as ‘enemies of the UK’ and repeated his intention to tackle not just violent Islamists but those who support such Islamists. Last month he told us that… “the root cause of this threat to our security is clear: … Continue reading
New month and a new Open thread for your attention. This is where you detail the bias!
The BBC has been caught feeding lies and misinformation to children…. First glance and this is just a story about a mistake, an over eager attempt to improve the image of an historical figure ‘forgotten’ by history but it is far more than that. It is a perfect example fo the BBC’s world view and how they attempt to manipulate the audience, and quite sinisterly, especially young … Continue reading
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
