The first law of journalism as told by John Humphrys… ‘First simplify, then exaggerate.’   Have to say that is pretty much the rule followed by the BBC’s climate change reporters….the refusal to take seriously any criticism of climate ‘science’, the refusal to genuinely analyse what the criticisms mean allowing the subsequent broadcasting of sweeping alarmist statements about the ‘inevitable’ consequences of global warming (despite there being little … Continue reading →

“Good morning, good morning..” Hope you slept the whole night through and here is an on-time brand NEW Open Thread for you to populate with instances of egregious BBC bias!

Here’s an interesting instance of clear BBC editorial bias. Hat tip to George R.. “This decision is good for Martin McGuinness, peace and for Sinn Féin.” says BBC Political Editor Martina Purdy -from – “Martin McGuinness to attend banquet with Queen when President Higgins visits UK” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-26903463 ‘Daily Mail’ has:- “Ex-IRA commander Martin McGuinness WILL be a guest of the Queen at Windsor Castle banquet” Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2597964/Ex-IRA-commander-Martin-McGuinness-guest-Queen-Windsor-Castle-banquet.html#ixzz2y7J2iNg8 Why is it … Continue reading →

The BBC may well have all but erased 9/11 from its collective memory, but not George W Bush. I heard a real sneering piece on the Today programme this morning mocking his Art Paintings. Some expert was wheeled on to make patronising comments!

Hi folks. Been away much of the week so apols for my absence. Anyway, here is a NEW Open Thread for your edification! Enjoy.

  The BBC told the Science and Technology Committee that…..’Climate change is “a matter of reporting and journalistic inquiry, and one where our strong reputation for independence is paramount”.’ However…….David Jordan, Director of Editorial Policy and Standards for the BBC, told them that “politicians driving an issue and talking about its importance and policy developments in relation to it will be clearly important to our news agenda”   So politicians … Continue reading →

New thread. Now fill it up.

    The BBC still  seem reluctant to report this:   France’s Muslims drawn to far right anti-immigration party Elections at the weekend revealed a remarkable phenomenon: Muslims voting with the far right, anti-immigration Front National (FN). “The main left and right parties have failed them. But for many Muslims, the moves towards legalising gay marriage would be enough by itself to vote for a party like the FN that … Continue reading →

    When the bombs went off in London on 7/7 we were told that the real victims were Muslims….not the 52 dead and 700 injured.   Seems the BBC still continues with that mentality. The Central African Republic has been suffering for nearly a decade with a war started by Muslim militias. The world and the BBC long ignored this war.  Just as they ignored the 5 million killed … Continue reading →

    Liked this, the BBC’s latest ‘special interest’:     Freedom eh?  The BBC’s taking a great interest in ‘Freedom’. ‘What freedom looks like to you’ it reveals.   Wonder what it looks like in Saudi Arabia? Saudi Arabia declares atheists terrorists under new laws targeting citizens who ‘call for secular thought in any form’ Saudi Arabia has officially identified atheists as terrorists in sweeping new laws that threaten … Continue reading →
