BBC been pushing the “Living Wage” agenda all day I see. Listened to Stephanie Flanders earlier as she was very disingenuous on the issue. She dismissed concerns that this “Living Wage” would actually cost jobs by comparing the critics of it to those who forecast that the equally socialist construct of a minimum wage would cost ” a lot of jobs”. She subtly avoided sharing with us just HOW many … Continue reading
I was having a browse through the BBC’s “Health” section and for some inexplicable reason the world class BEEB seem to have missed this story. I wonder why? Let’s face it, the NHS is as much of an anachronism as the BBC and that helps to explain why the BBC presents a very unbalanced and biased
Most excellent post here on The Register! Do read it. “Far from the Jimmy Savile scandal, the director of BBC News Helen Boaden took the witness stand in London today. A squad of Beeb legal staff, including two barristers, crammed into a small court room to support the£354,000-a-year news chief against her opponent, a North Wales pensioner who was accompanied only by his wife. The case is a six-year freedom of … Continue reading
Following David’s indepth and well-founded post about the BBC’s very own ‘Stepford Wife’, Justin Webb, I looked at Webb’s article and noted his loud praise for the melting pot, the common unity of a nation that can be forged by the media helping to create common references and bonds: ‘And of course a media market brings with it a sense of fellow-feeling: folks watch the same TV and advertisements … Continue reading
Sardine can Britain: What life will be like in 2050 when experts predict the population will have exploded to 80million. That’s not a story you are likely to hear repeated on the BBC….immigration for them is wonderful…the more the merrier….the diversity, the cosmopolitan nature of our cities, the wonders of having 300 languages in London schools….. The BBC colluded with Labour to hide the scale and effects of mass … Continue reading
You might remember the Guardian attempting to interfere in a US election and being rudely rebuffed and told to mind its own business…it looks like the BBC hasn’t learnt that lesson…….. A just-out BBC World Service poll surveying 22,000 people in 21 countries found a wide preference for President Obama in the presidential race, who scored 50 percent favorable among all respondents to Mitt Romney’s 9 percent. Almost a … Continue reading
Apologies for being two weeks late getting to this, but it’s not time-sensitive, and so here it is now. Justin Webb wrote a “Diary” installment for the Spectator issue published on Oct. 13. They’ve turned off the pay wall for a few weeks since launching the new online format, so for the time being you can read the whole thing here. I’m interested in observing Webb’s personal opinions, so we … Continue reading
I know I have referenced this in other posts but just to say I watched the BBC news throughout yesterday and there seemed to be a REAL determination to ensure that ANY good news concerning UK economic performance was doused. Items were constructed to ensure that any viewer would be left with the impression that we are still in deep trouble and that jobs are still being lost more than … Continue reading
Biased BBC reader Alex asks; “Here’s a little analytical activity. Compare the Islamic and Judaism entries within the “War and Peace” sections: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/rs/war/ Please take special note of the very last paragraph in the Judaism entry. Do these entries offer a fair representation of both religions’ tenets on war? Discuss.”
