I caught a rather interesting debate on BBC Today @ 7.50am this morning concerning that BBC favourite, Windfarms!  “This week one of the world’s biggest wind turbine manufacturers announced it was cutting 3,000 jobs around the world. Chairman of the UK’s independent Committee on Climate Change Lord Deben and Dr John Constable, Chairman of the Renewable Energy Foundation, discuss the matter.” If you get a chance, give it a listen … Continue reading →

Andrew Marr some time ago presented us with his programme on British History…..The Making of Modern Britain. In the course of this programme we learnt that Darwin’s ideas on the survival of the fittest and the British invention of the concentration camp led to the Nazi ideal of the ‘Aryan Superman’ and the concentration camps in which 6 million Jews were killed…..as the Independent puts it….‘Indeed, it is hard not … Continue reading →

Woman’s Hour  (about 21 mins in) presented us with an interesting guest…Hilary Wainwright editor of …..Red Pepper …. a magazine of political rebellion and dissent, influenced by socialism, feminism and green politics.….who or what is her hero?……’OCCUPY’.

Interesting article here on the BBC and how it has handled Savile and now McAlpine. Worse still, just as this scandal began to die down, Newsnight has embroiled itself in a sexual abuse scandal. Last week the show ran a segment that featured allegations that a well-known Conservative British politician had been a part of notorious pedophile network that operated in Wales in the 1970s. The segment didn’t name the politician … Continue reading →

Throughout the day starting from their most prestigious news programme, Today, they have been pushing a line that ‘the Internet’ is to blame for the libelling … Continue reading →

A Biased BBC reader notes; “Besides the BBC’s usual practice of making Israel always look bad, it is interesting to note how when there is a news story that inescapably shows Israel in an absolutely positive light, the BBC does its best to not report it. The recent Melcom building collapse in Ghana resulting Israel’s quick dispatch of an expert rescue team is a good example. Here is what the Ghanans themselves say in praising Israel’s … Continue reading →

Here we go, on time and in good order…detail the bias you see here please!

Interesting piece here concerning Katty Kay; “The umbrella organization of British Jewry criticized the BBC’s correspondent in Washington for referring to the “Jewish lobby” in a tweet about the U.S. election. Katty Kay used the term in a question-and-answer session on Twitter, raising the ire of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. Kay was asked by a tweeter late last month why U.S presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt … Continue reading →
