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
You have to despair. Dr Mary Bousted is general secretary of ATL. She was being interviewed by Victoria Derbyshire on Monday (11 mins) about Gove’s new curriculum proposals…..strangely before he had announced them…and she admitted she hadn’t read them yet in ‘their entirety’. This is why she opposes the new curriculum: ‘The proposals will be riddled with knowledge and lack skills and understanding.’ Shocking…that schools should be expected … Continue reading
From The Commentator: Baroness Tonge has spearheaded an appeal on behalf of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, claiming that the BBC is biased in favour of Israel! Laugh or cry? The BBC has been having meetings with representatives of the PSC to discuss ‘BBC bias’…pro Israel bias that is. In the UK, BBC News reaches 81% of the total news audience. This is a massive figure but, unfortunately, the … Continue reading
Last week Channel 4 had a ‘big scoop’…Murdoch on tape saying the police investigation into phone hacking was a crock and he would support any journalist who was convicted. A stunning piece of journalism making astounding revelations. The BBC must have thought so because this story was one of the headlines on all its news bulletins that day…..tone of voice was all as they relayed to us that Murdoch would support his … Continue reading
One of the things that strikes me about the BBC coverage of the Egyptian unrest is its reluctance to report the sheer savagery of the Muslim Brotherhood supporters or “Pro Morsi” to use the BBC preferred euphemism. When it comes to appalling videos like this and threatening incidents like this, the world class BBC journalists seem to have fallen asleep. Their entire meme has been thrown into chaos and they … Continue reading
Morning all! Sun shining, time for a new one of these! A whole new WEEK of BBC bias awaits so document it here!
The BBC undoubtedly thought this was a good pro Muslim story….I might suggest it was the opposite….far from showing Muslims ‘integrating’ it shows a distinct lack of will to do so and in fact shows that Muslims expect British society to adapt to them not the other way round…..you might even suggest that it was fairly disturbing that Islam is presented in such a positive one sided fashion in … Continue reading
This post shows the difficulty in using statistics to ‘prove’ anything…especially if the two sides are not singing off the same ‘hymn sheet’…i.e. not using the same sources of information or the same definitions…..especially so when one side knowingly uses statistics that don’t agree because they come from a different source or are based on a different definition in order to confuse the issue. Victoria Derbyshire interviewed Nigel Farage … Continue reading
