Yesterday Ed Miliband launched Labour’s comeback with a raft of proposals to bring riches and a sense of fair play back to Britain. A Plan C rather than Plan B, as he seems to have dumped most of what Balls proposes….lowering taxes and spending more. This was a major speech from Miliband but it raised hardly a ripple on the BBC news front. There is this but it hardly bothers … Continue reading
UK industrial output rose at it fastest rate for 25 years. But you would hardly notice if you rely on the BBC….the story being relegated to an also ran position on the UK news page and not the Frontpage. Who would doubt that if the figures had shown the biggest drop in 25 years it would have been headline news? After the initial statement that output rose then came a long … Continue reading
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. No doubt the BBC thought this was a suitable message for the warring factions….you can talk it through and live and work together in harmony. All was going to … Continue reading
(SEE UPDATE BELOW) With all that website space taken up with Mark Mardell’s encomium to Bill Clinton, a dishonest attack piece on Govs. Jindal and Haley, and Kate Dailey’s furrowed-brow musings over Elizabeth Warren’s mewling about horrors of “income inequality” (making sure not to mention Warren’s fake Cherokee ancestor controversy), the BBC News Online editors had no more room to report that the convention bosses had to force an acknowledgment … Continue reading
BBC News online has published an article today by “Washington-based journalist Seema Sirohi” asking why Indian-Americans prefer the Democratic Party. This being the BBC the journalist is of course strongly pro-Democrat (see example tweets below) and the article is basically an excuse for her to rail against the Republicans in the most obvious and partisan way. Sirohi even uses the awful device of making up a quote to prove a … Continue reading
I am sure many of you will have seen BBC coverage of the riots in Belfast in recent nights. However is it possible that the BBC played a role in CREATING the riots through their very selective coverage? 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
