Prime Minister’s Questions 12th Sept 2012 It’s been obvious that that server Biased-BBC is hosted on has been suffering over the last few weeks and for that I can only apologise. I’ve been working behind the scenes with the hosting company day and night. Right now *fingers crossed* the change they have made to the mysql database configuration might have fixed… no … I’m not even going to tempt fate … Continue reading
Friday arrives and so does this new Open Thread! Enjoy.
Linda Pressly on the BBC’s ‘Crossing Continents’ tackles the problem of fanatical religion in the Middle East…no not Hamas or Hezbollah, but that presented by Orthodox Jews in Israel. How good of the BBC to deign to report from inside Israel….however the choice of subject, whilst legitimate in many senses, is one that presents an unpleasant face of Israeli society…..wonder why the BBC chose this rather than the effects of thousands … Continue reading
Yesterday on Midweek Libby Purves brought us ‘Chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi were born in Jerusalem in the same year – Sami on the Arab east side and Yotam in the Jewish west.’…a Palestinian and a Jewish chef working together.

Sirohi even uses the awful device of making up a quote to prove a … Continue reading

A Biased BBC reader writes; ” The BBC NI website was instrumental in making the band at St Patrick’s Chapel the biggest news issue around the 12th July. It was their main headline … Continue reading
Here I start you off with a passage from a Telegraph article….One point of which is the renewed popularity of Gordon Brown…..no surprise really when the BBC has done all it can to smother any and all criticism of him….you will rarely hear his name on the BBC despite him being both Chancellor and PM and leading us into the most disastrous financial crisis possibly in history. Also included are further parts … Continue reading
This is the BBC’s take on how the Olympics went for the troops working there: London Olympics: How was it for the troops? The public love them, their efficiency, friendly nature and some of the women coming into the Park often admit there is that man-in-uniform factor. “I was very happy to see the soldiers,” says Liz Gluckman, arriving with her family from Cobham. “They were very friendly and smiling.” … Continue reading
