Aw, bless ’em. The BBC must have been so upset by the revelations from former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates indicating that Obama did not have faith in the merit of the administration’s strategy, despite his decision to order a “surge” in troops to the region, that it is buried in the main news portal today! See if you can find it; Hint, it’s below a Schumacher story….
I see the BBC is giving maximum publicity to the ..ahem…breakthrough story that a footballer that many people will have never even heard of and who is essentially retired from football, has confirmed he is gay. I‘m not sure what this has to do with football but the BBC never misses a chance to advance the gay lobby agenda.
Well, the jury has decided that London gangster Mark Duggan was lawfully killed. BBC coverage to date seems massively on the side of Duggan’s “Fu*k the Police” supporters. Thoughts?
Joan Bakewell tells us politicians won’t win against the comics…. Something the BBC knows and employs to great effect on its comedy programmes: It is an unwise man who picks a quarrel with comics. They may not be right; indeed, you may be. But they have the jokes. And that means laughter and the warm regard of the public. However… Perhaps politics is now seen by the … Continue reading
The census clearly shows that the decade preceding 2011 saw the greatest rise in the population in England and Wales in any 10-year period since census taking began growing by 3.7 million or 7.1 per cent. Some 55 per cent of this growth is due to immigration, immigration that primarily occurred under New Labour’s watch. Interesting that the BBC has filled the airwaves all day with talk of immigration….based … Continue reading
Here you go, this is a POLAR VORTEX approved Open Thread! Over to you folks, detail the stone cold bias!
The BBC have covered the story of the little Afghan girl who was detained wearing a suicide vest in southern Afghanistan, I happened to catch BBC Today early this morning, before 7am. John Humphrys introduced the item by asking the BBC correspondent IF this story could really be true. It’s as if he couldn’t believe how wicked these dark age savages really are and preferred to imply this was black propaganda deployed … Continue reading
Biased BBC contributor Daniel Pycock writes “If you thought the BBC were pushing the “too far, too fast” line last time, just wait for more of their output regarding George Osborne’s planned cuts between 2014-16. Take a look at this most recent article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25617844 I count thirty four sentences in total, of which seven contain what Osborne actually said. There are another seven ‘neutral’ sentences dedicated to paraphrasing the government’s … Continue reading
Mark Mardell, the BBC’s US President editor, has published his first post of the new year, and it’s as awful as we’ve come to expect. Doesn’t anyone read this stuff for him before he published it? (H/T George R in the open thread) A big year for Obama and the Democrats First he says that making everyone purchase health insurance is the President’s greatest achievement. The plan to make all … Continue reading
“If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.” -Noam Chomsky Chomsky also said this: The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum – even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going … Continue reading
