Give you a breather and let you have your say….

  Frank Words in the comments suggests that maybe the BBC could get a couple of musical jokers like ‘Chas and Dave’ to present the Proms. Why do that when the BBC has its very own in-house musical joker…step forward Mr Paul Mason…a man of great depths and hidden talents. Is it April Fool’s Day? I don’t suppose it matters to a rebel like Paul Mason who longs for the … Continue reading →

Andrew Marr graces our screens again bringing his expertise and insight to the subject of world history. I shan’t watch it as Marr isn’t actually a historian, and isn’t just reading a script produced by historians…it’s all his own work. The fact that Marr had such left wing politics at university that he was called ‘Red Andy’, and that he is a favoured son of the BBC, makes it unlikely … Continue reading →

        It is an irony that Webb here suggests blame for distorting and polarising politics in the US can be laid at The Web’s door.  The ‘fabrications, the lies, the nonsense’ that comes from the Web are all to blame.  Well yes….he’s right….it’s just that he blames the wrong Web. Webb returns to his old stomping ground to add his wit and wisdom to Mark Mardell’s who clearly isn’t biased … Continue reading →

For the BBC any talk about climate change can only be in one direction…the science is fixed (I use that phrase rather than ‘settled’ as it seems more apt)….but so it seems is the politics for the BBC. The Lib-Dem Ed Davey, Energy Secretary, has been jumping up and down recently sounding off about Tories destroying the planet.  The BBC seem to have lapped it up…and as the science is … Continue reading →

Mitt Romney released his 2011 tax returns today. Included in the details was the fact that he paid $4m to charity – 30% of his income. Follow Newssniffer to see the partisan priorities BBC journalists are placing on this story. As I write there have been two versions of the article so far and still no mention of charitable donations. UPDATE Just a reminder – still nothing on the BBC … Continue reading →

I wasn’t going to post this yet as I was saving it as part of a longer post but it will be a while before that gets done, so here is a prime example not only of BBC anti-climate sceptic propaganda but  a deliberate attempt to ‘smear’ sceptics and dismiss their ‘scepticism’ as some sort of psychological problem which is not based on rational thought or science: Political Prejudice Availability: over a … Continue reading →

  Here’s a fascinating and comprehensive description of a Muslim terrorist: ‘militant Islamists sympathetic to al-Qaeda’   Always like that ‘militant’ bit, as if they were just a bit bolshy and gobby when in fact they had come dressed to kill, so to speak: They ‘were heavily armed with rifles and equipped with bullet-proof vests and explosive belts.’   Kevin Connolly explains why the Israelis get rocketed: ‘Israel’s options in … Continue reading →

Here is what you might call a balanced report on climate with ‘inconvenient’ facts (for AGW proponents) included: Arctic sea ice reaches lowest extent on record while Antarctic ice grows Scientists announced yesterday that Arctic sea ice had completed its summer melt and in the end reached the lowest extent since satellite measurements began. At the other end of the globe Antarctica was seeing the exact opposite as the ice … Continue reading →
