Anyone else catch Mark Mardell’s gushing coverage of Obama’s State of the Union speech? You would need a heart of stone not to laugh at Mardell’s sycophancy towards President Narcissus and his equal desire to blame those wicked gun-loving Republicans for not lying down and doing the will of their master in the White House.  As ever, the BBC go with Obama’s windy rhetoric and choose not to examine the … Continue reading →

Wednesday morning and time for a new one of these for your attention. Has the BBC been showing bias? If so please detail it HERE!

Anyone else noticed that the left wing “think tank” aka advocacy group The Resolution Foundation is never off the BBC? I caught one of their propagandists on Today this morning being given a free ride without an opponent. I debated one of them a few weeks ago and the bit that irritates is the way the BBC presents their Press Releases as fact. Naturally, the Resolution Foundation is firmly opposed … Continue reading →

The BBC has failed to persuade the Public that Labour were not responsible for the economic crash…and they have not been able to persuade the Public that Labour’s Plan B is the answer.   Flanders admits as much: ‘…if you ask business leaders, or most economists, which government decisions taken over the next few years will have the biggest long-term impact on our economic future, I’m not sure that Plan … Continue reading →

    And it seems you can’t keep Richard Black down either….I think we need a reminder of just how bad he was….and how ineffective the BBC is at policing what its own journalists get up to.     “It’s politics, not science,” Richard Muller told me by phone. “Politicians have been doing this kind of stuff for a long time – look at what Al Gore did with all … Continue reading →

Interesting observation here from our friends at BBC Watch; On February 6th, the BBC ran a report entitled “Hezbollah hits out after Bulgaria bus bomb report” in which it devoted considerable space to the denials of involvement coming from the organisation’s deputy leader. However, even after the announcement by the Bulgarian officials and despite the fact that five civilian holiday-makers and a Bulgarian bus driver were killed and around 30 people injured  in what … Continue reading →

My goodness, another week commences and time for the BBC  to hype the weather, drone on about horse meat and do everything possible to avoid discussing the killing fields of the NHS! A new open thread for you!

The BBC conspires not only to keep climate change critics off the air but to smear, undermine and denigrate them and their views as much as possible, going so far as to claim they are in need of psychiatric help. However when you look at the outbursts from, and the extreme views of, many climate ‘believer’ advocates you might begin to wonder just who it is that might be in … Continue reading →

‘Modern methods of printing and advertising make it enormously cheaper to produce and distribute one newspaper with a large circulation than many with small circulations; consequently, in so far as the Press controls opinion, there is uniformity, and, in particular, there is uniformity of news. Broadcasting is a new method likely to acquire great potency as soon as people are satisfied that it is not a method of propaganda.’  Bertrand … Continue reading →

I happened to catch an item on the Today programme this morning concerning the ongoing violence in Tunisia. The essential argument out across by BBC reporter Wyre Davies was the “conservative Islamists” are endangering the joyous hard won fruit of the “Arab Spring” and provoking the righteous anger of “liberal Islamists” who have taken to the streets to protest following the death of “leftist secular politician Chokri Belaid”.  It strikes … Continue reading →
