Posted without comment, because, well, just click on the link and watch the video. Video: Secret gun-rights provision in ObamaCare? Yes, the link is to the Right-wing Hot Air, but the actual video is from CNN. Not Fox News, not Breitbart. (Link fixed now, sorry.) Ed Morrisey explains: By golly, Nancy Pelosi was right — they didn’t know what was in ObamaCare until it passed! Of course, in this case … Continue reading
This latest “bespoke” video magazine feature in the BBC’s “Altered States”* series really appears on the surface to be not only a balanced presentation on gun rights and laws, but could actually be interpreted by people not paying attention as being biased in favor of gun advocates. It isn’t, but it’s very cleverly disguised. Would more guns save more American lives? Remember the choice of “more” and “more” in this … Continue reading
“Current Media was built based on a few key goals: to give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling. Al-Jazeera, like Current, believes that facts and truth lead to a better understanding of the world around us.” That was Al Gore … Continue reading
Been following the BBC coverage of the Coalition vote on the 1% cap on Welfare? What do you reckon, fair and balanced? I was on the BBC earlier today (BBC Brum) and the issue I was asked to debate was rather than have cuts to Welfare, why not just TAX THE RICH that little bit more? LOL I was up against some Labour Councillor who naturally advocated this sort of … Continue reading
I’m sure you may have noticed this but it is still worth pointing out,as this B-BBC does! “It’s taken two weeks, but the BBC website has finally gotten around to reporting the Met Office’s press release of 24th December that the so-called Climate Model has been revised (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20947224). Why so long? Because the new model suggests that any temperature rise will be less than expected, based on new computer … Continue reading
At last. The BBC has finally found a Republican that they actually like. Well, a former Republican to be precise. I’m talking about Chuck Nagel, the Jew-hating Iran appeasing choice to head the Pentagon. Good ol’ Chuck – Mark Mardell was virtually swooning, praising Obama’s bravery in this choice.
A Biased BBC reader sent this! The BBC is carrying a fawning article about Arthur Wharton – see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-20878659. Most people will never have heard of him, but he was apparently the first black professional footballer. He was, by many accounts, an interesting character and his story may well be deserving of a wider audience (he was also a preacher). But look how the BBC describes him: “one of the … Continue reading
A new week and a new Open Thread for you folks! BBC being biased? Surely not! Detail it here!
The above is a graph (hopefully now showing…apologies, but was OK when posted originally) plotted using rainfall data from as far back as 1766 by Doug Keenan(via Bishop Hill). It doesn’t show any particular change in present rainfall patterns from those experienced since 1766. The Data is from the Met. Office’s Hadley climate centre…which boasts…. An independent review of the Met Office Hadley Centre commissioned by Defra and … Continue reading
I assume this has an entirely innocent explanation: Right click on the area of screen playing a video and click on ‘Global Settings’, then click on the ‘Camera and Microphone’ tab and open ‘Camera and Microphone settings by site’ and this is what you might see….. s.ytmg.com is apparently Youtube allowing for interactive video games but why does the BBC need to request access to my camera … Continue reading
