Chris Patten is the kind of guy who walks the plank last. So no big surprise to read that he has suggested that three out of five senior BBC managers could lose their jobs. The former governor of Hong Kong praised the corporation for becoming more efficient but said viewers do not expect BBC bosses to be paid massive salaries and he wants to see a smaller, more accountable group in charge. Speaking at … Continue reading
I thought this was interesting; “Kenyan officials say they are in the final stages of bringing to an end the deadly stand-off with suspected al-Shabab militants at the Westgate shopping complex in Nairobi.” Erm, not quite. Kenyan officials refer to them as terrorists but the BBC feels a need to parenthesis around the term. Also, in what way are they “suspected”???? We have dozens slaughtered, Al Shabab stating it has … Continue reading
It’s Monday so time for a new one of these!
Germany is the most powerful nation in Europe, the most economically successful, the one with the most radical green programme…and one that is in the midst of an election. You might have thought then that this would have been of interest to the BBC: Germany industry in revolt as green dream causes cost spiral Germany’s top economic adviser has called for a radical rethink of the country’s energy … Continue reading
An Israeli soldier is killed by a Palestinian and the story had all but vanished from the BBC website…relegated to the ‘most popular’ but now seems to have been resurrected on the Middle East page. Interesting to see what they miss out in the report, the very short report….not much interest in a murdered Israeli soldier from the BBC? A suspect – who Shin Bet said worked with … Continue reading
Anyone see the labour fest on Marr this morning. We had Lady Tuscany as the warm up act before the great Leader himself appeared. No matter how ingratiating Marr was Miliband was so poor that it really was a delight.
Hi all. Can see that Friday’s thread is fuller than empty promises from Miliband, so here’s a new one for y’all!
I note that Religion of Peace enthusiasts have been so active in the past few days. Whether it was slaughtering 59 people in a shopping mall in Nairobi, or mowing down dozens of Christians leaving a church in Pakistan, or blowing to pieces other Muslims attending a funeral in Baghdad, the ROP has not left an opportunity to slaughter. Wonder what you reckon to BBC coverage of these acts of Jihad? … Continue reading
Well then, great hatchet job by the BBC on UKIP today, contrasting nicely with their slabbering sycophantic coverage of Clegg and the gang. I caught the BBC 5 live afternoon coverage…the MOST important story in the world for several hours and a great way to ensure UKIP are damaged. Bloom may not be coming up roses for UKIP but the reaction from the MSM in general, and BBC in particular, … Continue reading
It was all going so well…and then those chickens started coming home to roost. Leveson has been ‘disastrous’ says Guardian legal chief The Guardian’s director of editorial legal services Gill Phillips has said the outcome of Leveson Inquiry has been “disastrous”. Phillips told delegates: “What Leveson has come up with is the worst of all worlds. “His attempt to please everybody and avoid … Continue reading
