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
We all know the hypocrisy of the BBC…its well paid stars who criticise banker’s pay, the ‘hidden’ commercial side of the BBC that uses its state subsidy to crush commercial rivals, the criticism of ‘greed’ and ‘consumerism’…..and yet here they are, not satisfied with their BBC income, grubbing around for more.….for the odd speech or ‘appearance’….. Jeremy Bowen BBC Middle East Editor, Author & Television Presenter Fee Group: £6k … Continue reading
Here’s a supercharged piece of rhetoric from the pen of George Monbiot….calling for revolution to save the planet. What’s interesting is that if you replace ‘Neo-Liberal’ with ‘BBC Liberal Left Elite’ it makes a whole lot more sense….the Left’s ‘self hate’ of the West, the refusal to act against potent threats, the extreme political doctrine, the protection of elitist interests, the refusal to listen to the ‘People’, the determination … Continue reading
On 5Live Drive (2 hrs 26 mins 40 secs) we had a report from the BBC’s Cairo correspondent Jon Leyne who told us that after the Muslim Brotherhood’s attempt to seize power and steamroller the ‘Revolution’ it had become ‘a very scary situation’ in Egypt….‘a very dangerous point’. ‘Police have fired tear gas in clashes with tens of thousands of protesters gathered near the presidential palace in the Egyptian … Continue reading
Why is the BBC wasting our money on JK Rowling’s socialist misery porn? …asks James Delingpole. That’s a question I also asked myself when I read that the BBC are making a film based on Rowling’s latest effort…..Rowling publishes her book and the BBC are straight in there with their cheque book, and our cash, to produce a film that will no doubt be a ‘damning indictment’ of Cameron’s Britain…not … Continue reading
