FT journalist Janan Ganesh is not impressed with the fawning media coverage of Obama. The BBC’s Dominic Laurie agrees and concedes that the BBC does not escape blame. @jananganesh agreed — Dominic Laurie (@dominic_laurie) January 21, 2013 Yes, BBC included. @dominic_laurie @jananganesh — DB (@4d2b) January 22, 2013 @4d2bdon’t deny that — Dominic Laurie (@dominic_laurie) January 22, 2013

So Prince Harry reveals that he may have killed Taliban when on active service in Afghanistan. Good. Well maybe not. This item from the BBC seems fairly neutral but the idea that our soldiers actually KILL Jihadists never sits easy with the preaceniks and dhimmis at the BBC and so I invite you to comment on any additional BBC coverage you may have heard as regards Harry’s interview..

Interesting profile on the lady in the Question Time audience last week who actually spoke up and contradicted the nonsense spouted by lefty Mary Beard that migrants were not overwhelming the market town of Boston. Do have a read.

Very one sided article here from the BBC  “proving” that the Smoking ban has reduced childhood asthma admissions. This smacks of those with vested interests taking selective data to validate their own case and it would have been nice to see the BBC rather more inquiring about the “research”.

Morning all! Here we go with an early Open Thread to start the week! The floor is yours ..DETAIL the bias,

    In February 1963 Ridley Scott was named in the title credits as “Designer” for a BBC television Tonight programme about the severe winter of 1963.

Clearly the BBC has fallen out with the ‘ever ready with an anti Iraq War quote’ Craig Murray whom they used to wheel in to the studios to give a reasoned and fair portrayal of the war….or not. Here is his views on the BBC’s ‘impartial’ coverage of the recent events in Israel and Gaza (my censorship of Craig’s Anglo Saxon vocabulary)….. BBC Vomit by craig on November 21, 2012 … Continue reading →

      You may think that reports of vigilante gangs roaming the streets of London forcing people to comply with a particular religion’s tenets would be big news. Not for the BBC. Muslim gangs attempting to turn their area of London into Muslim only enclaves where British law is held in contempt and attacks on non-Muslims making them comply with Sharia law as they do so might catch a … Continue reading →

DB often picks up on the visceral bias that drips from KATTY KAY, head of the BBC World News in America. Here is her received and tweeted wisdom on Jean Francois Kerry … Katty Kay ‏@KattyKayBBC The world still looks for American leadership, will Obama#2 deliver? American foreign policy: The Economist http://econ.st/WKiBed  18hAlainLewis ‏@alainlewis @KattyKayBBC how will John Kerry be as Secretary of State? 18hKatty Kay ‏@KattyKayBBC @alainlewis good, I imagine. He certainly knows foreign policy.

Is it just me or is the BBC rather outraged that the Algerian  Government has taken a no-nonsense approach to dealing with Islamic terrorists? I have been following the coverage these past few days and apart from floating the views of those .. ahem.. wise old coves at the F.O. the BBC main meme is to warn of the dangers presented by a robust approach to Jihadi.
