They just can’t help themselves. The BBC love-in with Obama continues despite Guantanamo, drones, failed foreign policy, massive, inappropriate surveillance and lies about, well lots and lots of stuff.   Naughtie on Today (08:25 ish) was going over the Gettysburgh Address by Lincoln. For some unknown reason we were suddenly treated to the comparison of Lincoln to another ‘gangling lawyer’….and a soundbite of the sainted Obama. The … Continue reading →

      From the Telegraph: There’s an interview with Sir Richard Eyre, the director of a new musical (he prefers “a play with songs”) in this week’s Sunday Times (£) “I never understand politicians – they could buy themselves, for such a small price, the silence of a swathe of articulate, prominent, celebrated people who give them a hard time.”   And you thought the Lefty Bien Pensant cared … Continue reading →

    The BBC is giving Ed Miliband a massive platform to shape the public’s perception of him…he is to appear on Desert Island Discs. No doubt we will have heart warming tales of his family life…in particular his father.   Any doubt that this is the BBC’s attempt to limit the damage that the Mail’s report about Ralph Miliband’s Marxism and the influence on his son may have had. … Continue reading →

    Hold the front page…another grand idea as to why Global Warming has paused.   We were first told they had no idea why there has been a long, long pause in global warming. “We don’t really know yet what the explanation is for the slowdown,” said Bob Ward, policy director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of economics.   … Continue reading →

    Treat all as equal citizens. An extra layer of unelected people who purport to represent communities aggregated by faith is a recipe for disaster.  Douglas Murray   Alvin Hall has presented a programme looking at the history of Black music in the USA…the politics and economics of the music industry. It is definitely worth a listen.  However it does have a narrative that Hall shoehorns in regardless of … Continue reading →

There is no doubt in my mind that without the wilful assistance of the BBC, Miliband and Labour would not be as far ahead in the polls as they are. Naturally this may change but the BBC is remarkably accommodating to allowing Labour to set the daily political agenda and then reinforce it by parroting the crafted Labour soundbites …be it “Plan B” (now discarded) “Bedroom Tax” (no such thing) … Continue reading →

A new weeks dawns and I can see  new one of these is needed! Detail the bias as you see it here!

      I heard about the Co-op bank fellow being filmed buying drugs…despite the Co-op coughing up the odd million to the Labour Party and many Labour MPs (Ed Balls for one) in its debt so to speak I didn’t think there would be much mileage in this from a BBC bias point of view.   I was wrong as Craig at Is the BBC biased? points out: Bowdlerising … Continue reading →

      Warning…graphic photos   We were told that Al Qaeda didn’t exist by the BBC….it was just a ‘nightmare’.   And now the BBC once again humbly lectures us through the good auspices of Will Self….they seem to like these dissolute ‘thinkers’. Once again we are told something doesn’t exist. Apparently the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Self is talking about the fear of … Continue reading →

    Curious that only a few weeks ago the BBC was pillorying the Republicans for trying to delay Obamacare for a year.  From Mardell: The Republicans have been accused of having Tea Party tantrums, they’ve been compared to people who want to burn the house down, suicide bombers, hostage takers and teenage drivers repeatedly taking a blind curve in the rain. All these images of blackmail and mayhem come … Continue reading →
