‘George Zimmerman’s innocent?????’ Say that in the tone of ‘Flash Gordon’s Alive!!?’ and you get the idea of the BBC’s incredulous reaction I just heard on the radio news announcement. WHAT!!??? An almost whitish sorta man kills a ‘unarmed black boy’….surely he’s got to be guilty? All the President’s men and all the President’s horses couldn’t jail ‘Whitey’. Even though they tried to pin a charge of … Continue reading
Anyone catch Andrew Marr interviewing David Miliband this morning? Any more sycophantic and Marr would have been on his knees. The BBC obviously prefer David to Ed but in both cases their innate bias towards the left shines through.
I can see the old one is bulging with comments so here is a new one for you.
It’s a recurring BBC theme – the alleged cruelty of the IDF. I was reading this nonsense on the BBC today. The Israeli army has been accused of illegally detaining a five-year-old Palestinian boy for throwing stones in the West Bank town of Hebron. Israeli human rights group B’Tselem said the child should not have been detained because the age of criminal responsibility in Israel was 12. Video showed the boy taken … Continue reading
Friday already? Today is the day that Fusilier Lee Rigby is buried. I noticed the BBC inform us he was “killed” Was it an accident then? God almighty, they are outrageous..over you to you.
It is normally Paul Mason who gets highly excited about the Arab Spring and Social Media which he thinks is as good as a tank division to any budding revolutionaries, but here is Roger Hardy telling us why it’s not kicking off everywhere…..

The BBC are happy to ‘fly a kite’ or two with speculative ‘reports’ that present a negative image of any one of a number of BBC bête noires based on what ‘someone’ … Continue reading
Yes, I know that’s a bit over the top, and I’m deliberately phrasing it as a question because I’m not categorically stating that’s what they’re doing over the possible result of George Zimmerman’s trial. But it sure seems that way. Having said that, let’s all note that this is the first BBC mention of the trial since just before it actually started. They’ve been absolutely silent about the trial the … Continue reading
I can see that Monday’s thread is overflowing so time for a new one! Here you go and off you go!
Nigel Farage stated that the BBC used him as a ‘get out’ clause…they have had him on a show…therefore that proves they are not anti-UKIP or pro Europe….box ticked. He also said this: Sure, there may have been criticisms about its abject failure to report the rise of Euroscepticism or reflect the public’s concerns about immigration in the past. But now the BBC is, it tells us, … Continue reading
