In ‘In Our Time’ Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss ice ages, periods when a reduction in the surface temperature of the Earth has resulted in ice sheets at the Poles. Melvyn Bragg has the decency to be seemingly embarrassed during this programme, presumably forced upon him….yet another global warming ‘persuader’ moulded to bring us into the fold….it was always clear where it was going to end up…and … Continue reading
The BBC used to mock Prince Charles for talking to his plants…now they have recruited him to chat to us, to persuade us that we are doomed by global warming unless we change our behaviour….we all know his views….and if you don’t here’s a clue: Mankind must go green or die, says Prince Charles Environmental damage left unchecked would be ‘suicide on a grand scale’, Prince warns … Continue reading
You can always tell what the BBC line is on any subject by seeing what they don’t report and of course what they do carefully select to highlight. Bishop Hill has noticed this: ‘….the comments of Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England at the launch of the Bank’s quarterly inflation report. Environmental policies it seems are an “own-goal”. Sir Mervyn blamed the Government for the overshoot, … Continue reading
I suggested in my last post that the BBC has given up on promoting Labour’s Plan B as its main line of attack and has now targeted unemployment, long term youth unemployment in particular as a government weak point on which it can be undermined. Just clicked on ‘People Like Us’ on the iPlayer only for a different programme to appear… one called ‘Freespeech’ presented by a bearded Nicky Campbell … Continue reading
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
