One of the themes for the defence of the BBC and its management is that the BBC is ‘accountable’, that no other organisation would investigate itself so thoroughly and that top management took responsibility for the recent crisis. Entwistle only went because he was ‘pushed’, and ‘pushed’ by his own side in the shape of John Humphrys.  In that interview he tried to evade all responsibility just as he did … Continue reading →

The Today programme bring on a ‘ringer’ (Last 5 minutes) in the form of Abd Al Bari Atwan, editor of Al Quds Al Arabi  newspaper…from Gaza and who is pretty much an extremist where Israel is concerned….but the BBC don’t mention that when they usher him in to give us his take on the Israeli response to being bombarded by Palestinian rockets……. He claims there is no military solution….in other … Continue reading →

The BBC’s coverage is getting ever more disgraceful when you consider the ultimate consequences of the effect such coverage begets for Jews around the world. This was a sequence of reports from the BBC on 5Live: 1. Multiple News bulletins….. ‘Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza which has been hit with 80 Israeli strikes….only one rocket was fired from Gaza.’ 2.  Single report……Jon Donnison reports that Israel has made 80 … Continue reading →

Overdue but finally here!

Why Pakistan? Some of you have questioned what Pakistan had to do with a post about Israel. The fact you have to ask that answers your own question in a way….the BBC is nowhere near as concerned with the ‘illegal creation’ of Pakistan as it is with Israel. Just why is the BBC so concerned about Palestinians but so relatively unconcerned about Indians in Kashmir or Bangladeshi history? Muslims and … Continue reading →

    Via Bishop Hill The New Statesman reminds us of the BBC’s values: ‘The intrinsic value of the BBC embodies an unfashionable, anti-market ethos.’ ….whilst paying themselves hefty salaries of course….and all at the same time as denouncing Capitalism, Consumerism and ‘The Market’. This simple video demonstrates what ‘The market’ does for you…providing jobs, money, necessities of life at prices you can afford, and not a few luxuries, as … Continue reading →

I see that Friday’s Open Thread is overflowing so here you go….a new one!

    Funny old world you might think as the Jews, having suffered at the hands of the Nazis, turn into Nazis themselves and aim to wipe out the Palestinians. Did I just say that?  Must have been listening to the BBC for far too long. The BBC were a bit nonplussed for a while when Hague blamed Hamas for starting the ‘aggression’.  But the BBC has a plan…just like … Continue reading →
