Sanctimonious, hypocritical, ridiculously unwilling to admit his own organisation’s failings, the holier than thou Humphrys launched an assault on the Catholic Church this morning on the Today programme. He claimed the Church was the ‘moral arbiter of the World‘…I thought the BBC had long ago usurped that position and appointed itself the judge and executioner of world affairs. Humphrys states that the Church’s Message cannot be delivered if the Church … Continue reading
Another week comes along and so does the first new OPEN thread for you to detail the bias!
The Sunday Times (paywalled) reports that: ‘The BBC has used license fee money to buy the silence of about 20 former staff who left claiming to have been the victims of bullying or sexual harassment.’ ‘The 20 people forced to sign the gags, called compromise agreements, are barred even from revealing they have signed such a deal.’ ‘On the morning of Valentine’s Day, John Humphrys, the presenter of Radio … Continue reading
Living with Calcutta’s record low temperatures 3 March 2013 Last updated at 00:03 By Rahul Tandon BBC News, Calcutta ‘Dressing for the cold has become a major talking point in Calcutta, where the temperatures are the lowest for a century.

The BBC love Baroness Williams. Shirl the Pearl is a regular feature on their political programmes, and she was on Today this morning just before 9am. The item was about disaffection within mainstream politics across Europe and the BBC flagged up how this had manifested itself across the EU, from Golden Dawn in Greece to UKIP in the UK. Yeah, I know. And just in case there was any residual … Continue reading
The BBC continues its war against the ‘Tory led Coalition’ with yet more invented crises of ‘NHS privatisation’ or specious connections to disasters in the NHS and government ‘cuts’. The first example is from R4’s ‘You and Yours’ with Winifred Robinson demanding to know if NHS nurses, sponsored by medical manufacturers, are making unnecessary prescriptions to meet the sponsoring company’s targets making NHS costs shoot up. Unfortunately either the BBC … Continue reading
The BBC’s film ‘Madness in the Desert: Paris to Dakar’ is a fine example of how to make a pig’s ear out of a silk purse….a race that has all the adventure, drama and excitement that any film maker could ask for turns out to be a dreary, dull and tedious affair in the hands of the BBC. One thing though that did catch my attention was this phrase from … Continue reading
On the heels of Turkish PM Erdogan’s remark that Zionism is a crime against humanity, the BBC felt the need to briefly explain what Zionism is. Zionism is an ideology or movement that asserts that the Jewish people have a right to a national home or state in what was the Biblical “Land of Israel”. There is no consensus among Zionists where the borders of the state should be. For … Continue reading
