Mandela still alive, BBC breathlessly informs us. It is remarkable how MUCH attention the BBC lavishes on the former South African President. I will be sorry when he dies as this will cause grief to his family and Nation … and leftists everywhere. However Mandela’s long association with communism, with terrorism, and with dislike of the USA needs covered too.
In case you missed this excellent analysis of the BBC’s 25 year trouble with the terrorism word. Do read.
A Biased BBC reader sent me this and I am simply sharing. It concerns how the BBC covered the protests against the recent Bilderberg conference. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22832994 use of clearly biased label ‘Shock jock’ to describe Alex Jones, and subsequent editing and highlighting of certain aspects of his interview on iPlayer (see attached screenshot) “Andrew Neil described him as ‘the worst person he’d ever interviewed’” Andrew Neil’s concerted effort throughout coverage of Bilderberg on the Politics show … Continue reading

The fire at the Islamic school has been established as caused by arson and four teenagers have been arrested.

To do so means disposing ‘of the first … Continue reading

Here’s the relevant segment: Vaidyanathan: He was unarmed, carrying a bag of sweets and iced tea. He’d been spotted by George Zimmerman, a neighbourhood watch volunteer.

This relates to an article by Paul Moss…though you might have thought it was by Occupy’s Paul Mason: Boom times in Dubai are attracting more and more Westerners – but a night with the expat elite was an awkward experience for the BBC’s Paul Moss.

Another open thread…..

Locals say there are EDF links to the … Continue reading
The ‘Right Wing’ Patrick Mercer was an agreeable target for the BBC…they had no problem setting him up for a fall. The Chairman of the Energy and Climate Change Committee, Tim Yeo, was a different matter altogether….and even now as the BBC reports this latest potential scandal they downplay its significance, miss out ‘evidence’ and in fact actually deny that some of the claims were made despite them being highlighted … Continue reading
