The Useless Idiots at the BBC are once again dancing to Labour’s tune…..as Peter Oborne noted: “Rather than representing the nation as a whole, it [the BBC] has become a vital resource – and sometimes attack weapon – for a narrow, arrogant Left-Liberal elite.”   We could look at the BBC’s cover up of Labour’s immigration policy, its cover up of Labour’s deadly legacy in the NHS, its cover … Continue reading →

I’m going to be away for the next few days so I am putting this Open Thread up in a timely fashion and hope that it can sustain you in my absence. I will return on Tuesday.

Quite remarkably, the BBC leads is news coverage AGAIN with a pro Ed Miliband anti Daily Mail story. It seems to me that the BBC has lost all perspective on this non-story and had decided to run with it as hard as possible with the intent of a/Seeking the head of  Paul Dacre b/Cowering the Mail from running future such stories on hardline Marxists c/Damaging the Mail in as many ways … Continue reading →

      A few times this week I’ve listened to John Pienaar intone in reverent awe that ‘The Boy done good….he’s on a winner’. Of course I paraphrase, but Pienaar likes to tell us that Miliband is coping admirably, showing strength and principled leadership as he battles the pervidious right wing rag that is the Daily Mail.     Now you could take a less charitable view and interpret … Continue reading →

It seems that the BBC has decided that Alastair Campbell is the new champion for journalistic integrity and decency in public life. He hasn’t been off its’ major news programmes in the past few days, castigating Paul Dacre and The Mail in general. It is truly nauseating to listen to Campbell being given such prominence as he heads up a full on assault on The Mail. IF ONLY we all … Continue reading →

              We Think the Earth is warming, Therefore it is a man made disaster. It is incredible to think that the only journalist with any integrity in the climate debate at the BBC is not Harrabin, Shukman or McGrath but Sheila Fogarty. She has been the one asking the awkward questions about the much hyped ‘ocean warming’ explanation for the ‘pause’. Harrabin et al … Continue reading →

  That old anarchist has blown his cover now the shackles are off.  Paul Mason has stuck the knife into the BBC: A ‘patrician elite at the BBC is failing audiences’: Former editor claims  executives are more worried about ‘messing up’ than making interesting programmes Paul Mason was Newsnight’s economics editor for more than a decade He’s warned websites like Twitter could become ‘more believable’ than the BBC because they are more … Continue reading →

      BBC promotes ‘elitist’ view of sailing, says Sir Robin Knox-Johnston (from August) “Come on BBC get that ridiculous elitist smear out of your thinking and support our young athletes in the maritime field. “We were, at one time, a maritime nation but it’s impossible to engender interest in marine matters when our public broadcaster is so uninterested.”   The BBC ignored that….and only invited him in for an … Continue reading →

I had the misfortune to watch this classic piece of bullying from Alastair Campbell on Newsnight last evening. In my view, Maitlis let Campbell control the “debate”, she permitted hectoring, outrageous allegations and vicious ad hominem. Why? Because Campbell was saying what the BBC believe. I had an exchange myself with Campbell earlier today on Twitter. I suspect he is not a fan of me or this website.

    The BBC did another little puff piece in Ed Miliband’s favour: Do people get their politics from their parents? For some reason the lead in photo was this:   That aside they come to the conclusion the Ed Miliband apple fell quite far from the Marxist family tree: “There’s a volume of literature that says the more politicised your parents are, the more likely you are to become … Continue reading →
