Via Guido….BBC don’t seem to check the film they broadcast for authenticity….. Pallywood…Lazarus is alive and well. Pallywood has a long history, the most famous probably being the Al Dura footage. filmed by a Palestinian cameraman, Abu Rahma, which led to many consequences…. ‘The footage of the father and son acquired what one writer called the power of a battle flag.

A Biased BBC reader brings this to my attention; “Here’s a classic BBC headline from the website – building up a non-entity of an organisation that is by its very nature racist; denying as it does membership on the basis of skin colour.  “How a leading human rights lawyer put football under the spotlight.“

There is NOTHING like Israel daring to defend itself against Hamastan terror to show visceral BBC bias. Take THIS report on the murder of three people killed as rockets were randomly fired from Gaza struck into in the Israeli  town of Kiryat Malachi was hit. It marks the first Israeli fatalities since Israel killed Hamas’ (sic) military chief in Gaza on Wednesday. Eleven Palestinians – mainly militants (sic) but also children (hint)- … Continue reading →

Short of time but here’s something to digest raw……. Guido has a document from Prof Joe Smith, Harrabin’s co-founder of the CMEP climate change advocacy programme. The document is from 2005 so not from the 2006 seminar but gives a good idea of what might have been discussed….and it looks like it wasn’t climate science but how to report climate science…they had long ago, well before 2006, decided the science … Continue reading →

  The BBC, under Chris Patten’s leadership, in defiance of its promises and all expectations of it living up to its ideals, has developed a new strategy to defend its unique political and ‘commercial’ dominance….and in doing so has abandoned all pretence of working in the public interest and encouraging the public’s trust.   ‘Kevin Marsh, Editor of the BBC College of journalism (not since 2011) stood before a class … Continue reading →

The arrogance is stunning. The BBC Trust cannot be trusted! Failed director general George Entwistle’s ‘obscene’ £450,000 pay-off was signed off by a BBC Trust boss as she watched Strictly Come Dancing, it has been revealed. Lord Patten telephoned his deputy Diana Coyle during the hit show on Saturday evening and they agreed that Entwistle should get double what he was entitled to if he did the ‘honourable’ thing and quit.
