Stephanie Flanders is caught on the horns of a dilemma…no, not which labour senior politician to date next but how to report seemingly all round political support for the self evidently daft idea of a ‘living wage’. In her recent programme about Keynes Flanders pretty much used every one of Miliband’s latest ‘lines’ in her eulogy to the benefits of borrowing and spending more…but here, in this report, you might … Continue reading
The latest tweet from Katty Kay, BBC Washington correspondent and anchor of what’s left of BBC World News America, and the highest-profile Beeboid in the US: How about Bloomberg/Booker for a let’s get this done bipartisan ticket? — Katty Kay (@KattyKayBBC) October 30, 2012 First of all, Bloomberg is no longer a Republican, hasn’t been for years. He quit that Party and has been calling himself an independent since 2007 … Continue reading
The BBC’s most powerful weapon is its ability to rewrite history….to maintain its own narrative over an extended, indeed infinite, time….it owns the ‘right’ and numerous platforms to broadcast what it pleases to back up its own beliefs, and that is what it does. A historical fact, such as the BBC were found guilty of lying about the Iraq War Dossier has now been morphed into ‘the BBC was right … Continue reading
I’m away on business for the rest of the day and most of tomorrow so here is a thread to capture bias as you have see it…
Did anyone catch the extremely combative interview on Today this morning at 7.31am between Ed Davey and John Humphyrs? It concerned the welcome news that a new buyer of Horizon, the UK’s nuclear power building project, has been found – and is planning to build a range of new power stations across the country.

The Today programme were hyping it up this morning, with an “expert” on hand to inform us that these “extreme weather” events were without precedent and the listener was left with the clear impression that climate change is the game changer. This is not news, it is insidious propaganda.

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
