A RIGHT ROYAL DISGRACE…

We already know how the BBC lavishes praise on the shrew Labour MP Margaret Hodge in her role as Chairman (sic) of the Public Accounts Committee. So when the Duchy of Cornwall representative William Bye was invited to appear before this Labour dominated Star Chamber, one could be sure that the BBC would fall in behind Labour is suggesting that the Duchy of Cornwall is dodging tax. There was an … Continue reading

Wherever I Lay My Welfare Cap Is My Home

   John Humphrys grandly suggested to IDS yesterday that ‘There are facts and beliefs and you can believe whatever you like.’   So let’s look at how the BBC presents some ‘facts’. The BBC has been trumpeting the left leaning Resolution Foundation’s claim that: Rent ‘unaffordable’ for low-income families in third of UK   The BBC have tagged that onto their news bulletins or reports about welfare all day without qualification. … Continue reading

IDS vs BBC

  Ian Duncan Smith tore a strip off the BBC this morning for orchestrating a politically motivated campaign against government welfare reforms:  ‘Cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith today accused the BBC of launching a ‘politically-motivated’ attack on government plans to cap benefits at £26,000. In an extraordinary on-air blast, the Work and Pensions Secretary accused the Corporation of using ‘lots of little cases’ to claim that limiting welfare payments would … Continue reading

5 LIVE BIAS…

A B-BBC readers talks about the Immigration stats as creatively reported on 5Live recently… “This item on Radio 5Live at about 0800 ‘ish attracted my attention mid-shave this morning (13th of July).

MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF YOU’RE BLACK OR WHITE

B_BBC contributor Alex sent this contribution “Below is the link concerning the guilty verdict regarding the two British boys who were viciously and sadistically gunned down by a black gangster in Florida, 2011. Now, comparing this report with the BBC’s hysterical story today regarding the not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman is quite shocking for its selective use of language. For the white victims, in 2011, the BBC was very … Continue reading

Critics’ dismay at Zimmerman verdict New

  It seems that the BBC’s ‘Denial Machine’ isn’t for the exclusive use of the Labour Party…..      The radio was reporting that Zimmerman was acquitted but that ‘he says he shot Martin in self defence’….if Martin had shot Zimmerman the reporter would think ‘Hold on …’He says..’  makes it sound as if there is still some doubt…I’ll change that…to ‘Martin shot Zimmerman in self defence’.’   Then I saw this … Continue reading

Labour’s ‘Denial Machine’

  Labour is accused of operating a ‘Denial Machine’….welll yeahhh…it’s called the BBC.   The NHS is safe in Labour hands….just not perhaps your life. The BBC is going to be paying out some overtime to spin this one: Professor Sir Brian Jarman, of Imperial College London, worked on a government review which will this week show that 14 hospital trusts have been responsible for up to 13,000 “excess deaths” since … Continue reading

The Right Stuff

Andrew Marr once said:  “The BBC is not impartial or neutral……It has a liberal bias, not so much a party political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias.” Hardly true…the bit about ‘not so much a party political bias’ [Ta to Pah] I mean of course….we know huge swathes of the BBC casts its vote in favour of Labour…most of the senior journalists reporting on politics  and economics are … Continue reading
