Here you go, a new Open Thread to see us off into the weekend! Over to YOU…BBC been bothering you with its bias? Detail it all in loving detail HERE1

  The BBC run this bit of anti-Israeli propaganda: The Christian family refusing to give up its Bethlehem hill farm   Lots of emotive language and phrasing used by the BBC to create a sense that the Israelis are oppressing these people, these victims. The BBC could have saved a lot of time and effort and just recycled this old trope:   A picture is worth a thousand words…..and that … Continue reading →

    The BBC is still ignoring this:   From the Independent: NHS means British healthcare rated top out of 11 western countries, with US coming last     From the Guardian: NHS is the world’s best healthcare system, report says   From the Telegraph: Britain’s NHS is the world’s best health-care system, says report   From the Metro: Hate the NHS?

What is happening in Iraq causes problem for the BBC ‘s idol, Obama. ISIS attacks in Iraq have skyrocketed ever since the retreat was sounded by Obama in 2011 and he declared the war a success.

    Did you hear of this on the BBC this morning?… I must have missed the enormous fanfare announcing the good news: NHS pushes UK’s healthcare to top of the league table out of 11 western countries, with US coming last Britain’s healthcare has been lauded as the best out of 11 of the world’s wealthiest countries, following a far-reaching study by a US-based foundation. In a report entitled … Continue reading →

  John Humphrys wasn’t having a very good morning today as he tried to manufacture a link between the 2003 invasion of Iraq and ISIS whilst interviewing US diplomat Paul Bremer who ran Iraq after the invasion. Humphrys has history on Iraq being fervently opposed to the invasion and consistently making that clear throughout the time the US was in Iraq starting of course with his and Andrew Gilligan’s misleading … Continue reading →

    The Today programme decided it had to do a routine on the Magna Carta, (08:22) the BBC being then BBC they had a not so subtle undercurrent of disdain and amused contempt for the whole thing much as Gavin Esler did when talking of ‘British values’…‘whatever they are…smirk smirk’.   Historian David Starkey didn’t let them get away with their patronising attitude saying that ‘Tradition’ was a word … Continue reading →
