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
The UK’s employment figures hit a 30 year high but the BBC play it down. The headline here gets in the 2.53 million unemployed figure ….but shouldn’t the headline be ‘Employment at Record High’? or would that just give the Tories too much credit? No such reluctance when giving the figures for temperatures when they reach ‘record highs’. It was interesting following the BBC’s coverage of the release of the … Continue reading
Savile’s own epigraph: “When I’m gone, they’ll say: ‘I always thought he was straight but he wasn’t – he was crooked.’ ” I imagine that’s one that could equally apply to the BBC. The BBC have been pushing the story that the Newsnight programme wasn’t really about Savile personally and that senior management didn’t know, did not want to know and shouldn’t know what was going on at Newsnight….due to … Continue reading
The association of UNRWA employees (staff in UN-funded schools for Palestinian “refugees”) in Jordan have voted to ban acknowledging that the Holocaust happened in their school curriculum. Responding to a recent rumor that the subject might get re-introduced to students, the executive committee said this: “We condemn this decision, which equates the butcher and the victim,” read the teachers’ statement, demanding instead to introduce classes on the Palestinian “right of … Continue reading
Here is a new one of these for you to detail the bias! Over to you…
How the BBC loves Labour harpie Caroline Flint. She was given great prominence on Question Time last week and today her attack on the Coalition’s energy policy is the lead story in the UK. What amazes me is the way in which the BBC co-operates fully with Labour revisionism of political history. It is if 1997-2010 never happened. (However the Thatcher years must never be forgotten.) The hyopocrisy from Flint … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader writes… “James Jones and the entire crew for THE MORMON CANDIDATE are masters of deceit and editing wizardry. I have Mormons living all around me. One has two daughters who left the faith and they are loved as much or more by their parents than their other four children. None is shunned or intimidated. Most Mormon families have some kids who bow out of the faith, … Continue reading
Sorry about this but it’s more Savile….it does seem that the BBC are interfering with the due process of any inquiry into this affair…… The BBC have announced two inquiries into the Savile business looking at whether the BBC was in any way to blame and why the Newsnight investigation was pulled. However judging by what I have seen and heard and what some of the comments here are saying … Continue reading
