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 →

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.

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 →

Andrew Gilligan let’s rip at BBC ‘management’….possibly though a little bitter about Hutton, and himself being blamed  for the sexing up of his report…..he was though to blame wasn’t he?  It was him speaking not Greg Dykes. However back to today……… The standard rule in a media storm is to put one person in charge and to establish the facts quickly. The standard BBC rule is to put nobody in … Continue reading →

Today was a bad day for BBC economic reporters…for months they have cast doubt on the rising employment figures suggesting that there must be an underlying problem with the economy….and that employment rising is possibly a sign of something rotten at the heart of failing British industry. Today they have had to eat a large portion of humble pie…..the growth figures seem to have shocked Stephanie Flanders  so much that … Continue reading →
