A Reader writes about Newsnight 1st August… “A new low for the BBC.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-19049173 Sean Rigg – well known mental health problem – died in police custody in 2008.  Newsnight presented no facts of the case, stated no cause of death; the BBC simply allowed the family to emote, angrily calling for officers to be criminally charged and/or disciplined.  There was no balance, no acknowledgement of the police’s difficult position in dealing with … Continue reading →

Ed Balls has a Plan, one which he has had for a long time.  Long enough you might think to actually have worked out whether it will actually produce the economic uplift that he claims it will.  Unfortunately Ed Balls hasn’t bothered to go as far as checking his figures…or rather his hopeful predictions, and with the help of the BBC and a lot of brass neck, is managing to maintain … Continue reading →

A Biased BBC reader writes; “I would like to draw your attention to the Dawood Prison scandal in Kabul. This week a US Congressional report was released detailing “Auschwitz-like” conditions in this US funded hospital in Afghanistan and a cover up by US military authorities – and one man in particular Lieutenant General William Caldwell In September of last year the Wall Street Journal reported: “There was evidence of horrifying … Continue reading →

This is why I call Mardell the BBC’s US President editor instead of his official title, BBC North America editor. Mardell’s report about Romney’s trip to Israel leaves out the most important thing he said, and the second half of it is devoted to defending the President on the domestic economy issue. Mitt Romney: US will stand with Israel In the accompanying blurb, the BBC mentions that Romney said that … Continue reading →

I did enjoy this interview with the UNISON representative on Today concerning the success the private sector has made of Hinchingbrooke NHS Trust. Well worth a laugh if you get a moment and a sublime accidental exposure of NHS priorities as seen through the prism of a Trade Unionist.

I suspect this may not bother some readers as much as it  bothers me but I was sickened by the way in which the BBC headlines the utterly loathsome PR spin from IRA commander Martin McGuinness re the Claudy atrocity. The fact is that the BBC has been to the fore in promoting a “peace process” which has enabled a man like McGuinness to reach the highest level of Government. … Continue reading →

  A classic example of the BBC editing out voices that do not parrot the desired narrative….in this report the BBC give the floor to a disabled charity, Scope, to make claims which are completely unsubstantiated by any objective standards, and whilst in a very early morning radio report we heard a dissenting voice, that voice has been noticeable by its absence from any other reports as have any other people … Continue reading →
