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
‘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.

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….. Democracy or disorder? The four lessons of the Arab Spring It is necessary to ask what went wrong, and draw the right lessons. 1. It … Continue reading
This is number heavy and involves a bit of reading…but it’s worth some effort as it is a classic example of the BBC either being lazy and incompetent and/or deliberately missing out relevant facts when it suits them. 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!
