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.”
Right, this one arrives early for a stage. Got something to say about the State Broadcaster? Well this is the place to share it…what BIAS have you seen or heard?
So, let’s look at the story first; The shooting of a 36-year-old man in Newtownabbey on the outskirts of north Belfast has been described as a “ruthless, careless killing”.It is understood the victim was shot six times and died at the scene. At least two men are believed to have been involved in the attack. Now, who does the BBC go to for a quote? Yes… Sinn Fein Newtownabbey Councillor … Continue reading
The BBC’s bias was wonderfully illustrated by a little item on Today this morning just before 7am. They had tracked down an American professor who has authored a book that shows that contrary to Clinton’s assertion “It may not be the economy, stupid” when it comes to determining the outcome of elections. Yup, and so Obama’s woeful performance on the US economy “may not hurt the President” and that mixed economic … Continue reading
Gordon Brown’s secret army could defeat the Coalition’s welfare and education reforms Britain’s charities and quangos are now stuffed to the gunwales with Labour placemen I think anyone listening to the BBC will know that this is true….the government announces a new policy and the Today programme and 5Live are awash with the sound of charities and interest groups wailing that children are being ‘punished’, disabled people will become … Continue reading
