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 →

But wanted to thank Alan, David DB and Craig for keeping the show rock and rolling in my … Continue reading →

The BBC seem always to be ambivalent about Muslim violence and free speech and tend to side with the view that such protests are the result of centuries of Western colonisation, imperial exploitation and cultural imposition.

The report … Continue reading →

Cats look down on you Dogs look up to you Pigs look you straight in the eye and treat you as an equal The BBC doesn’t give a shit what you think.   The BBC?…..‘good examples of moderate, liberal devotion to the idea of a polite, eggheaded vanguard, without whom the proles get distracted, confused, besieged, and eventually succumb to the terminal disease of false consciousness. The problem is that … Continue reading →

  ‘How strange must our system of politicks appear in future ages, when it appears, that while we were carrying on offensive wars in all quarters of the globe with vast fleets and armies, that an enemy rode triumphant in our own harbours.’   The BBC steadfastly refuses to engage in any meaningful debate about the dangers of importing an ideology that is totally at odds with that of the … Continue reading →

Here’s Nicky Campbell talking about the Charlie Hebdo cartoons on BBC Radio Five Live’s Breakfast show this morning: “The BBC has an edict – I’m not allowed to describe these images at all.” (h/t Bodo in the comments) Update.
