Why not? For those staying up real late or are in a more convenient timezone, I’m going to attempt to make some real-time comments on the most important debate in human history (unless the President loses, in which case debates don’t really matter). Regional ale will be involved. Then we can look at the BBC’s own live text coverage and compare. (NB: Page is set to refresh automatically every two … Continue reading
I’ve rattled off a quick transcript from a key part of the Jimmy Savile/Neswnight Panorama. It really doesn’t get much more serious than this. A: There are now allegations that Top of the Pops was a centre for abuse and that as well as Jimmy Savile others were involved. B: A group of three have been described, men in their thirties, who would collect girls from the Top of the … Continue reading
Compare and contrast the current top stories on BBC and Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/9625623/British-al-Qaeda-gang-from-Birmingham-planned-another-911-in-UK.html Subheading in the Telegraph: ‘An al-Qaeda inspired gang of British Muslims planned to carry out “another 9/11” in the UK with up to eight suicide bombers, a court heard today.’ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20007532 …but on the BBC, they’re just ‘men’. Or ‘Birmingham men’. The only mention of Muslim or Islam is at the end of the story, to tell us … Continue reading
Further to Alan’s post below, Savilegate continues to damage the BBC. “The Newsnight editor responsible for dropping a report into claims Jimmy Savile sexually abused people is stepping aside, the BBC has said. Peter Rippon’s move is for the duration of an inquiry into Newsnight’s handling of the planned report last year. Earlier this month, in a blog, Mr Rippon explained the editorial reasons behind his decision to axe the report. The BBC has now issued … Continue reading
Hi all. Just a quick word re the site. I know we still seem to have some problems re access and I am passing these on to our technical people for their attention however there are a few things I wanted to say to you directly concerning the site. Firstly, the purpose of the site is to expose and discuss BBC bias. This site does not have any political agenda and … Continue reading
On Thursday the latest GDP figures will be released and it is widely expected that they will show a rise. Whilst GDP was falling, however slightly, and employment rising, the BBC was constantly questioning how employment could go up in a recession…..they concluded that Britain’s industry was failing….productivity must be falling….and therefore government industrial policy was failing….we need a Plan B. Many others suggested that the GDP figures were wrong…the BBC … Continue reading
Sort of interesting day if you like to listen to the BBC relentlessly eviscerating itself whilst at the same time they try to apply a field dressing to the gaping wound and carry on as if nothing happened. There are though still plenty of attempts to play down the Savile affair and the subsequent Newsnight bungle. Nicky Campbell suggested that no one knew a thing about Savile, not a clue…the general view at … Continue reading
Unlike a BBC satirical panel show this thread is open to ALL views.
In PMQs Miliband concentrated on the angry exchange Tory Andrew Mitchell had with a police officer…for which Mitchell has apologised, apology being accepted by the Met and by the officer concerned. Surely that is the end of the matter? So why does Miliband concentrate on that and not on producing some policies to improve the economy, and why when we come to the wash up by the BBC’s John Pienaar does … Continue reading
