I tuned in to the Today programme this morning before 7am to hear the BBC bring us the BIG issue of the day – yes, transgender rights in 2013. Then, by way of amusement, I listened to Evan Davis at 7.09am express his all to evident disappointment that some Northern Ireland politicians had not been corralled into a deal by US Mr Fix It, Richard Haas. He TRIED to allow … Continue reading
Biased BBC writer Daniel Pycock notes… “The BBC reluctantly gives good coverage on UKIP, but cannot help itself… I recently spotted a few things in a recent article about Nigel Farage saying the UK should take in refugees from the Syrian Civil War (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25539843). The first is that the BBC’s ‘political apparatchik’ correspondent said “Mr. Farage’s call was likely to surprise many”. If you look at UKIPs manifesto, or website, … Continue reading
Right folks, the clock is ticking down as another year of BBC bias draws to a close. Here is the final OPEN thread of the year for you to fill up…over to you!
There’s Fiona Fox’s outrageous claim that the way the BBC could really improve its science coverage is to have fewer sceptics. She says: “To have a sceptic or contrarian in every interview is really misleading the public.” Luckily, she enthuses, the BBC is doing a fine job of correcting this grotesque imbalance. “With Climate Science there’s been a real change with people like Richard Black and Roger Harrabin fighting internally … Continue reading
Spot what’s missing from this report about Nicolas Anelka making what is reported to be a re-invention of the Nazi salute: Nicolas Anelka: West Brom striker ‘surprised by celebration criticism’ Anelka converted to Islam in 2004. It’s not in the BBC report. Why would the BBC not report that? What was it that Mehdi Hasan said? The Muslim community’s dirty little secret…… Anti-Semitism. Can’t imagine the BBC being … Continue reading
Biased BBC contributor Daniel Pycock writes… “Just because the BBC has to report the CEBR; doesn’t mean they like it… http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25519110 You can almost sense the desperation and despair dripping from this BBC News page – as the BBC had to report that a respected think-tank is of the opinion that the UK, scheduled to become Europe’s ‘Largest’ Economy on current politico-economic trajectories, would be better off out of the European … Continue reading
Right, that’s Christmas boxed off for another year so normal service has been resumed! Here’s a new Open Thread for your attention and the floor is yours!
Biased BBC contributor Daniel Pycock writes… “I don’t know if any of you have come across the BBC Echo Chambers blog. I certainly hadn’t until this week. The column itself is unremarkable, though one or two things there are worth reading. The complaint I have, however, is on this week’s post as regards the criticism of ’60 Minutes’ (which like Newsnight has faced a serious reputation crisis of late). *http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-echochambers-25500751 … Continue reading
The BBC all hate Fox News…don’t they? It seems that that old adage that you say you hate what you really love might come into play. 5Live was discussing LBC(39 mins) and Shock Radio where they all ‘froth at the mouth‘…..but listen on…. Jane Garvey states that ‘LBC do popular politics really, really well.’ Geoff Lloyd, the other presenter, says that if you listen to Nick Ferrari … Continue reading
Tell us what you thought was the BBC’s most biased moment of the year. Also the most biased reporter, presenter, titled “editor”, or anything else you can think of. Bias by omission counts as well.
