Well, as the IPCC Summary for Policymakers is prepared for release tomorrow to trumpeting from the hype merchants, the BBC can be relied upon to once again try to convince an increasingly cynical population that mankind IS driving global warming …sorry..I mean climate change. By way of balance, may I commend this essay? Brace yourself for what lies in store tomorrow.
I was listening to Jeremy Al Bowen as he reported on the “charm offensive’ by the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the UN today. Couldn’t help but note the effusive tone in his commentary. If the Iranians were hoping the BBC would propagandise on their behalf, they were right.
Stephanie Flanders is off. She leaves the BBC in November to work for….J.P Morgan Asset Management…..toxic bankers. Ed Miliband is already reaching for his Socialist’s Play Kit, digging out the airbrush so that apostate Flanders can be airbrushed from his history and from those photos of past indiscretions as any good Socialist would do…Ed Balls will no doubt be lugging his photo album over to Ed’s £1.5 million mansion … Continue reading

Trust High in Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists and Jews. What…you didn’t get that impression listening to the BBC all day? No nor did I. In fact I didn’t hear those groups mentioned once….which is strange because you would think that the BBC would ‘celebrate’ that. Instead we had an entirely negative story…and a unique interpetation of it, an interpretation which absolved the guilty and passed the judgement instead on those who had … Continue reading
Nicky Cambpell asks…..The Kenyan massacre….Why would British people be involved? …and…he asks…What can we do to stop them getting involved in Islamic radicalism? The problem is that the BBC doesn’t recognise the problem…..an immediate one being these fundamentalists probably don’t consider themselves ‘British’…until they come to claim benefits or housing of course. For example this morning we had this from Peter Taylor, the BBC’s expert on Islamic terror…sorry militancy…says that the … Continue reading
Ahead of time and all set to go, a new OPEN THREAD.
Red in tooth and claw, what is your view of the BBC coverage of that Miliband speech?
John Pienaar told us that Victoria Derbyshire was so hard Damien McBride would be quaking in his boots in an upcoming interview. Derbyshire opened the interview with a quote from McBride: ‘It was just me being a cruel vindictive thoughtless bastard.’ …and then asked him where, on a scale of bastards, would he put himself. However that was about as ‘hard’ as the interview got…McBride far from quaking in … Continue reading
Damian Thompson in the Telegraph thinks there is quite a lot in ‘a name’: Kenya terror attack: disgracefully, the BBC still won’t call these murderers ‘terrorists’ I suppose it is hard to quantify exactly what constitutes a ‘terrorist’. A group which kills 61 people, deliberately selecting non-Mulsims, and then apparently burning off their faces and cutting off their hands to prevent identification, may have justifiable political aims or … Continue reading
