Interesting, as always, couple of exchanges with Nicky Campbell this morning on ‘Your Call’.   Campbell emphasised this is about ‘your calls’…just a shame that that isn’t necessarily true…step over the BBC imposed line of what is ‘acceptable’ and you’ll find ‘your call’ gets you a self-righteous and sanctimonious telling off from Campbell. This morning’s effort was about the conflict in Gaza…though I would object to that narrow … Continue reading →

    The ‘Henry Plan’ is working…sort of…the BBC has breached the entrenched racism of some of its programming, challenging the stereotypical presumptions and attitudes that have plagued the BBC and that have resulted in the ‘hideous blackness’ of 1Xtra music station…… Ed Sheeran, the most influential man in black and urban music: BBC faces ridicule after singer tops poll for 1Xtra station A BBC power list has named white … Continue reading →

Here you go folks, a new Open Thread for your completion! This is where you detail the bias…

Did you see this? “Shopping secrets of the Taliban revealed” By Riaz Sohail. Might this be an attempt to humanise the savages in the Taliban? Why would the BBC think this is “newsworthy”?  

    If record heat is a sign of global warming…what is record cold a sign of?   Brisbane hits coldest temperature in 103 years   Coldest Antarctic June Ever Recorded Antarctic sea ice hits new record high with 2.1million square miles more than is usual for time of year

    Remarkable silence from the BBC as Synagogues and Jews are attacked….no doubt as a result of inflammatory reporting from the likes of the BBC:       Anti-Israel protesters attack Paris synagogue Clashes in Paris as thousands march against Israel offensive     The BBC weren’t so slow to report any ‘Islamophobic’ attacks in this country after the murder of Lee Rigby.    

      The BBC’s new drama, The Honourable Woman, is based around events, historic and present day, occurring in Israel and Palestine. We are assured that it is entirely neutral in its approach and does not take sides. The Author, and producer/director, Hugo Blick, tells us he has been scrupulously careful in exploring the issues: The lead character is an Israeli – do you think that might cause some … Continue reading →

    In 2006 Hamas was busy murdering its rivals for power in the Palestinian territories, dragging Fatah men from their hospital beds before shooting them or throwing other Fatah members from the roofs of buildings. The BBC told us that Hamas were ‘merely flushing out the corrupt and violent Fatah’. How different the BBC reaction when Israeli bombs accidentally kill civilians and hit a home for the disabled.  Whilst … Continue reading →

I have to be honest and say that I did a double take when reading Jeremy Bowen’s twitter feed. I THOUGHT it has to be a parody but evidently not. Hamas must love him. And Israel has serious questions to answer. Especially after lethal attack on disabled home #Gaza — Jeremy Bowen (@BowenBBC) July 12, 2014 Over the years, we have covered many of the flare ups in this region … Continue reading →

A few days ago, parts of the public sector chose to strike. The Daily Mail suggests that the public sector strike was not as successful as anticipated whilst some of the BBC’s early web news headlines implied a “mass” turnout. There seems to be a bit of a contradiction ? I am sure the Daily Mail has a bias in its coverage but so has our allegedly impartial State Broadcaster surely?
