I chose the word “lie” with great care, after long consideration. But I can come to no other conclusion. If one has wrong information and then makes a statement based on that faulty info, it’s not telling a lie. If one has the correct information but knowingly makes a statement contradicting that, it’s a lie. I think that’s what Mardell is doing here. US election: Is foreign policy Romney’s best … Continue reading
I was invited to read this article which alleges BBC bias against the NHS. It’s quite detailed, cannot say I agree with it myself, but I want to post bias from various perspectives. Give it a whirl and my thanks to Jamie for sharing.
Ah, the love the BBC shows towards Labour knows no bounds. Yesterdays meme was how united the comrades are and today it is about how normal a bloke Ed Miliband is and how he cares so deeply about the “forgotten 50%” The lack of critical analysis is almost amusing and just wait until those evil hated Tories gather next week.
You couldn’t make it up…..the BBC happily giving Muslim terrorists and their supporters free propaganda. A programme that was supposed to investigate a conspiracy theory that the British government planned the 7/7 bombings, fronted by Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell, was haphazard in its approach and patchy in its ‘evidence’, not looking too deeply at issues raised. Perhaps, you might think, they were not overly bothered if they didn’t … Continue reading
Better late than never, a new OPEN THREAD to detail the bias. Did you catch the BBC on Today heralding the Labour Party conference as “a display of unity”? Ohhhh – such a tough intro to this week of pro Labour propaganda!
Defenders of the indefensible love to belittle this blog by claiming that it’s nothing more than a microscopic minority of cranks and haters caught up in an echo chamber, not representative of any popular opinions, not a single word to be taken seriously. The views expressed here about BBC bias do not, we’re told, represent anything other than an extremist, miniscule minority. With this in mind, I’d like to direct … Continue reading
Radio For The Cattle: ‘Radio 5 Live Drive will seek to update listeners on the day’s developments, in an informal, accessible, manner, mainly through presenter interviews with correspondents or guests. Radio Five Live has a remit to inform less well-informed and less widely read audiences, so the amount and complexity of our coverage on the Drive programme is adjusted accordingly.’
The BBC at work….legally obliged to be impartial…….and yet….. ‘According to Israeli government figures, 856,000 Jews fled Arab countries in four years after the state was created in 1948. Officials say they lost billions of dollars’ worth of property and assets. A new government campaign aims to raise awareness of their plight. More controversially it aims to equate it with that of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees who … Continue reading
Daniel Nasaw is one of the handful of Beeboids working the US beat who was actually born and raised here. In his latest feature for the BBC online Magazine, a “From Our Own Correspondent” segment, he visits a Civil War battle reenactment to use as a metaphor for a primary Narrative about the current state of US politics we hear across the spectrum of BBC broadcasting: an historic, extreme polarization. … Continue reading
Peter Hitchens was invited to be a talking head on Flanders’ ‘Masters of Money’ programme on Marx. Here is his take on it: He tells us his opinion of Marx….‘Marx turns out not to have been the prophet of Lenin and Stalin, who hated God, wanted absolute power and needed a pretext for seizing it, but to have been the prophet of the Canton sweatshop, the computer age and the … Continue reading
