What is the world coming to?  My prejudices have been well and truly challenged and appropriately adjusted this weekend. Forced to listen to the BBC’s ‘News Quiz’ in a diversity training package I came to ‘see’ the other side, to appreciate the world from a different perspective other than my right wing narrow minded and bigoted little Englander viewpoint.   Well, actually that’s a load of bull….but what did … Continue reading →

  I see that our resident contrarians spent the best part of a day trying to persuade readers that the BBC is entirely innocent of any anti-Israeli spin in its preferred choice of questions for a Gallup poll. I think a more informed, impartial and rational look at the information tells the true story. 　 The excellent BBC Watch has come to the same conclusion that Biased BBC did when it … Continue reading →

Honestly, you would need a heart of stone not to laugh at the overt bias this item exudes at 8.10am (prime time listening)  on the Today programme exudes! It is the latest attempt by the BBC to thrown as much gloom and doom over any nascent economic recovery as is possible! In an attempt to point out that “the squeezed middle” is not becoming “the eased middle”, the BBC pick two … Continue reading →

I was reading on the BBC “that former BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall’s 15-month sentence for a series of indecent assaults has been doubled by the Court of Appeal.” Oh, how MODEST of the BBC. But please, they must have forgotten JUST how much they praised Hall..

Arriving a little late but still on time for the weekend! Off you go….

  The Today programme (07:45) updated us on the progress of the BBC’s latest wheeze: The Today programme is asking listeners to come up with questions to put to tens of thousands of people in more than 60 countries around the world. The programme will submit two questions suggested by listeners to feature in the Gallup International poll. A panel including the BBC’s Head of Political Research David Cowling and … Continue reading →

  ‘The uncritical reproduction of scientific orthodoxy is a far more egregious error: it denies that error can be observed from without the consensus.’   There was a  huge fuss generated by the Hotheads of the pro AGW side of the climate debate over the Andrew Neil interview with Ed Davey, asking him if government climate and energy policy should be changed to take into account the new facts…such as … Continue reading →

I know we’ve done a lot on Zimmerman already but I couldn’t let this pass without a blogpost. Take a look at the considered opinion of BBC News Channel journalist Robert Rea on the day of the Zimmerman verdict. Rea claims Zimmerman only shot Martin because he was black, and it was shameful that he wasn’t found guilty by the jury. All twelve of them. @Chelsea_Lass had he been blond … Continue reading →

Blimey, the last Open Thread is already overflowing SO here is a new one for you! Off you go…detail the bias.

Had to laugh at the BBC this morning doing its very best to cast cold water on further signs of at least some modest economic recovery.  First the bad news for the comrades.. The UK economy grew by 0.6% in the three months to June, according to official figures.  The figure was in line with market expectations, and is up from 0.3% growth in the previous quarter. Thankfully, renowned economist … Continue reading →
