Manufacturing Both Consent And Dissent

An excellent spot by ‘Tommy Atkins’ in the comments:   Spotlight falls on Televisa, Mexico’s all-powerful TV station Critics accuse Televisa of manipulating politicians and viewers and threatening democracy. For decades Televisa‘s logo – a golden human eye gazing at the world through a television screen – captured the company’s success at controlling and dominating what Mexicans watched. The media firm, the biggest in Latin America, produced soap operas, quiz … Continue reading

Sacred Illusions

Here’s another Guardian story but again it illustrates the same prejudices that are hard wired into the psyches of the BBCers in their loathing of anything that smacks of ‘Right Wing’ populism….ie anything that the general public might believe or enjoy. I have included much more of the material than is stricly necessary because it is of interest regardless of BBC bias concerns….read on…..   Unmitigated lefty loathing of the … Continue reading

Where There’s A Will

Whilst Eddie Mair on R4 attacks Bankers as ‘greedy, unscrupulous liars’  nowhere to be seen is an expose of Labour’s underhand and corrupt methods where it funds ‘charities’ that then go out and promote a Labour agenda…..if a ‘mere’ blog like Guido Fawkes can dig up these stories the question is why can’t the all powerful and well resourced BBC? Perhaps the will is missing.

Hey Dwayne What Are You Rebelling Against? Whadda You Got?

The BBC has indulged its anti-Establishment leanings and satisfied its simmering desire to hack away at the Police Force in a polemical onslaught based on, well not very much really. They drag up a few examples of bad practise but how many good ones?  None.  Hardly what you might call balanced or anywhere near the truth.    It is what you might call a dangerous lie being peddled by the … Continue reading

Chinese Puzzle

The spectacled theorist would have given his life for his doctrine rather than for his people. The abstract principles that the law of democracy and ‘liberty’ are more sacred than the welfare of the nation under which principles these intelligentsia will defend the worst kind of tyranny, though it may be leading a people to ruin, because it is fleeting embodiment of the ‘authority of the state’ and another will … Continue reading

Orwell And The Modern BBC

  The Principles of BBC NewsSpeak       ‘What is important is not what the creator of an idea of genius may mean, but what this idea becomes in the mouth of whomever transmits it.’ Adolf Hitler       The principles are whatever the BBC says they are.   BBC NewsSpeak is the official language of the Liberal Elite and has been devised to meet the ideological needs … Continue reading

BBC Spelling Test

Question 1.  How do you spell ‘Labour got it wrong’? Answer: ‘The Tories did it’   What is the missing word in this report  on the failure of PFI hospitals? And the answer isn’t ‘Tory’. Hospitals are either going to close or be put into ‘administration’ because their costs have spiralled out of control as they try to make the PFI payments. What else is there? Oh yes this: ‘The capital simply … Continue reading

The BBC In Print

  The BBC’s Black Ops co-conspirator has surfaced in the shape of the Guardian’s editor Alan Rusbridger going in for the kill whilst Murdoch is down…but still not out. It is of course beautifully written…articulate and erudite…however it’s beautifully written tripe with a huge side order of self interested drivel. The overwhelming case for plurality This is not just about Rupert Murdoch – allowing media power to be concentrated in … Continue reading

Banks Show Who’s Boss

  Here’s something that should get the hearts all aflutter in the corridors of the BBC:   Top banker warns PM of City’s fears over British exit from Europe Peter Sands, the chief executive of Standard Chartered, had a breakfast meeting with the Prime Minister on Monday during which he is understood to have raised concerns over a British breakaway. The warning was sounded amid growing calls from Conservative MPs … Continue reading
