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
The Telegraph investigates: What Lonely Planet is the BBC on? £100m loss on travel book deal as corporation’s executives ride the gravy train And remember the BBC lost £100 million on its digital media intiative. And remember it spent £1 billion moving house to Salford. And remember that the running costs of Salford will be £120 million more than they would have been if they’d stayed put in … Continue reading
Bishop Hill tells us that: Is that a shift in the climate change ground I feel? Japan has backed away from its renewables targets. Rich countries seem to be on the verge of reneging on their climate change promises to poor countries. The Climate Change Committee is to undertake an inquiry into the scientific integrity of the Fifth Assessment Report. And they have invited Donna Laframboise (and to my certain … Continue reading
How the BBC turned a catastrophic crisis into a drama about global warming Listeners given a bogus message on Radio 4’s Today programme Listeners to Radio 4’s Today programme were given an unmistakable but totally bogus message last week: that catastrophic storms such as Typhoon Haiyan are linked to global warming – and are set to increase. The same claim, which has no scientific basis, was echoed by David Cameron, … Continue reading
The BBC has spent a long time and invested much treasure in grooming Alistair Campbell and keeping him sweet. As they say….keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Such investment seems to have paid off with Campbell now back in the political game advising Miliband and saying things like this: ‘….whatever the criticisms of the BBC, it should be supported, remain central to our culture … Continue reading
