Ian Hislop has a new BBC programme (tonight BBC2 21:00)….Ian Hislop’s Olden Days…. Ian Hislop’s Olden Days, The Power of the Past in Britain, explores a cultural history of Britain’s idealised past and our fondness for yesterday. You can see why the BBC likes that…..destroying the ‘myths’ that surround the Nation…you’re not really who you think…..you’re not as good as you think…your national identity is a fraud … Continue reading
Maria Miller has resigned. The various factions are lining up to exploit it, or downplay it, for their own political ends. The BBC is not above such things. Humphrys was having a bash at Gove this morning laying out the case against Cameron…..he’s out of touch and his judgment is flawed…it’s ok to be compassionate and to defend your people but you have to take hard decisions … Continue reading
If you are onboard with the climate consensus you can say what you like to alarm the public: The costs of inaction on climate change will be “catastrophic”, according to US Secretary of State John Kerry. Mr Kerry was responding to a major report by the UN which described the impacts of global warming as “severe, pervasive and irreversible”. He said dramatic and swift action was required to tackle … Continue reading
It is sweet and right to lie for your Mori poll…..Mark Easton’s internationalist motto? Had to laugh or cry, when Humphrys asked (at 08:55) ‘Are we becoming less nationalistic and more international?…who better to ask than Mark Easton.’ Who better to ask I suppose depending on whether you want an honest answer or not…Mark Easton being a very pro-immigration kinda-guy and anti-nationalist. A … Continue reading
A piece by Janet Daley in the Telegraph regarding that thing that the BBC doesn’t hold dear but rather holds in contempt…’values and the continuity of the country’s historic national identity: about what Britain stands for’…the BBC preferring instead open borders, cheap imported servants and a lovely diverse, cosmopolitan feel to London….or rather those parts of London they don’t actually live in, retreating to their expensive and exclusive liberal … Continue reading
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.
