John Pilger: ‘Is the media now just another word for control?’

    David has already mentioned Today’s guest editor, P.J Harvey….an undoubtedly highly political one at that, but the final flourish from her, her choice of her (non religious) ‘Thought for the day‘ was shot through with irony when you consider the BBC’s own control of information, its attempts to close down debate…want to make a critical comment about climate change…you’re a ‘denier’, want to critique Islam…you’re an Islamophobe or … Continue reading

Free The Antarctic 52!

        As David notes there is great amusement at the climate scientists and Guardian/BBC journos etc getting stuck in the Antarctic ice.   There has been no mention of climate change at all for some reason in any of the BBC news bulletins I have heard…until today when the intrepid World at One broached the subject inviting in a renowned climate scientist (13:08)…because as you know they … Continue reading

No, BBC; Israeli Settlements Are Not “Illegal”…

The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this”. The line (in bold) … Continue reading

Where will the BBC stand on this defining moment for the UK? We have the European elections on the 22nd May. UKIP are forecast to perform strongly but how will the BBC spin a likely win for Farage and his gang? With the UK … Continue reading

If You’re Happy And You Know It…..

    Poor but happy, that’s the BBC’s ideal world. Low carbon footprints, sustainable consumption and sing songs and hugs for Christmas.  BBC bliss.   The BBC has long been banging away  that ‘consumerism’ is the root of all evil…despite also banging the drum that tells us the Poor must have more to be happy….just where do all those jobs, and the wealth,  that gives the Poor more come from?  … Continue reading

BBC Plays The Race Card On Immigration

    The BBC’s Phil Mackie brings us some blatant propaganda, lies if you prefer, all the way from Bucharest in Romania. (08:12) He manages to combine two of the BBC’s favourite Bête Noires, immigration control and one of Murdoch’s papers, The Sun, in a ‘report’ that was more a ‘Dan Brown-like’ invention of the truth than reality. His report is from one angle only as his Tweets demonstrate:   … Continue reading
