See the BBC like to start the new year with THIS nasty little attack piece on Queen Victoria. After paragraph after paragraph of a hatchet job, it concludes on an upbeat tone “Perhaps Queen Victoria was not such a bad mother after all.” How generous.
I’m not sure if Mark Mardell and Jonny Dymond spotted the four horsemen of the apocalypse over Washington but the tone and content of their Fiscal Cliff has certainly been full of doom and gloom and worst of all, in my opinion, wilful exaggeration. Mardell in particular has been to the fore in alleging that IF a deal was not to be done by Jan 1st then massive tax hikes … Continue reading
Ok folks, let us start 2013 with an Open Thread for your entertainment. Specify the BIAS here…
Wanting to take a moment and wish you all for a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thanks for your endless support for the site over the past twelve months! We’ve had a few tricky moments this year, particularly on the server issue and a other few technical fronts but we will be here in 2013 as determined as ever to hold the State Broadcaster to account. This site will continue to … Continue reading
I’ve taken a bit of a break from the BBC over the holiday period but I had the misfortune to tune in to Today this morning. Oh what joy! The guest editorr was Benjamin Zephaniah. Poet Benjamin is much loved by the BBC, often appearing on Question Time to dazzle the nation with his wit and wisdom. In a way Zephaniah and the BBC are the perfect match – hard … Continue reading
One of the BBC’s favourite tricks is to bring on guests that it knows will say the things an ‘impartial’ BBC cannot. We’ve had the ‘guest editors’ on the Today programme recently and Dr Steve Jones disparaging climate ‘sceptics’….now they bring on the clowns…or rather the cartoonists (2 hrs 45 mins)….Peter Brookes and Steve Bell….who are given free reign to vent their spleens about the government, and UKIP……..a great ruse … Continue reading
I’m a couple days late on this, but it’s still worth a laugh. The BBC sent one of the legion of Beeboids they have making video magazine reports in the US to Los Angeles to cover the special holiday edition of the city’s “Guns for Groceries” buy-back plan. Usually it’s useful for getting illegal guns out of the hands of the gang-bangers, allowing the politicians to wave some trophies in … Continue reading
This post brings to light an astonishingly blatant lie by the BBC, one that is intended to smash Thatcher’s reputation and claim she, and the ‘deeply unpopular’ Conservatives, would never have won the 1983 election if the British Public had known the ‘truth‘ about ‘secret’ negotiations to sell out the Falkland Islanders to the Argentinians. The BBC line is also a betrayal of all who served and fought to … Continue reading
The Today programme is letting go of the controls and allowing the Great British Public to work the machine in the guise of guest editors. Or not. The guest editors are the usual bunch of ‘safe hands’ who can be relied upon to toe the party line and not rock the boat…… Sir Paul Nurse who believes strongly that scientists have a duty to speak out about science in … Continue reading
We all know the BBC has decided that the ‘science is settled’ with regard to climate change being man made…..strangely however the BBC constantly tells us that science is a ‘process’ (a line no doubt picked up from Dr Joe Smith) and that science is all about doubt and questioning results. The BBC for some reason does not think that applies to climate change despite there being no ‘proof’ of … Continue reading
