Gotta love the BBC. Today I noted a reference to the “right of centre” Policy Exchange (Today 8.52am). Now, I am unsure who decides what is the “centre” of British politics but if it is the BBC then I fear that Policy Exchange are more likely to be slightly right of hard Labour. But that’s not my point. Yesterday, the same BBC trailed the economic commentary from the Institute of … Continue reading
As said in my last post this story was not reported on the BBC: Doha: UK climate finance pledge conceals pro-corporate agenda By Miriam Ross, 4 December 2012 The World Development Movement has warned that the climate finance the UK government has announced it will provide to developing countries risks putting money meant to help the poor into the hands of multinational companies. However this one was…one which reveals Harrabin’s … Continue reading
The BBC are always slow to bring us stories about climate change that do not support the ‘consensus’. They sat on the CRU emails for a month, they were silent about Tim Yeo’s conflict of interests, they haven’t mentioned the story below at all when normally anything that shows ‘Big Business’ ripping off the ‘poor’ is headline news….. Doha: UK climate finance pledge conceals pro-corporate agenda By Miriam Ross, … Continue reading
The BBC have found a new flag bearer for all that is right in the world ..yes, Margaret Hodge is the new Vince Cable. Leading the Starbucks Jihad, this hypocrite is treated as if she is the very incarnation of fiscal decency. She has been all over the BBC claiming all sorts of imagined “victories” for “the people” (Labour)…. the small matters of her difficulties over MP expenses and her … Continue reading
This is the sort of informed critique of Biased BBC that comes my way…for your edification; “I find it utterly ridiculous that you claim to be exposing the bias of the BBC while you are actually just asserting your own! Here in America the professionally that the BBC has is completely un-matched. The BBC is the most reputable news source in the world, That may be disputed, but only by … Continue reading
Touching to see the BBC lead the news this morning with the Ed Balls line that “working families will suffer” as a consequence of Osborne’s benefit reduction plans. It’s a favoured Labour line to suggest that most Benefit goes to those in work but on modest income. Rubbish. Labour’s favoured clientele, the wilfully idle, are the primary recipients of this cash and this is the Leftist way to try and … Continue reading
Or so says the BBC’s US President editor (the title “North America editor” bears no resemblance to the job he actually does: at best, his job title should be something like “political editor”, which he was for Newsnight a few years ago) when giving you White House propaganda disguised as analysis. Fiscal cliff: What would Mrs Lincoln say to John Boehner? You can already guess where this is going, no? … Continue reading
Here you are folks, a brand new Open Thread and on time! Detail the bias here….
It seems a popular sport on the BBC these days to go after successful multinationals who use every legal trick to minimise the tax they pay here in the UK. Demonising the likes of Starbucks and Amazon has been an enthusiastic activity for the Broadcasting House comrades. The game is moving on however and now it is time to go after the “Big 4” Accounting firms who provide the financial … Continue reading
Hi folks! Am back after a short break and just in time to hear the BBC chirping with delight at the problems Osborne is facing in his Autumn financial statement. I caught the Today broken earlier and their delight that Osborne was not going to hit some of his targets was visceral. There was the unholy trinity of Flanders, Robinson and Easton on at 8.10am to pronounce on the failures … Continue reading
