Peter Hitchens had an excellent article HERE the other day reflecting my own views on the BBC’s cheer-leading for Islamic supremacy aka Arab Spring… “But isn’t it strange that the BBC, crammed as it with people who regard me as a monster for favouring capital punishment for the guilty, has become a roaring propaganda machine for liberal intervention in Arab countries, which will lead – has already led – to … Continue reading
Remarkable! “The BBC is spending an estimated £130,000 over two years on a chauffeur-driven car rejected by its chairman Lord Patten because it would ‘incur costs’ to terminate the contract. The car was originally used by Sir Michael Lyons, the former chairman of the BBC, until he quit in April last year. It was then assigned to Lord Patten, who succeeded him. But the peer refused the vehicle, saying he … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader notes.. “A short play earlier this evening about a problem child at school. From Fact to Fiction http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01kxzy4 The child was ethnic British, that’s fine, but the BBC approved play write couldn’t resist feeding in a comment by an actor in the role of a teacher (6.25 mins into programme) that she “couldn’t help but notice that ALL the kids at the ‘exclusion centre’ were ‘white’” … Continue reading
The BBC has been on its favourite hobby horse today….bashing the police. (08:33) John Humphrys sounds shocked that of 2000 complaints against the Police only one may result in a police officer being sacked. What isn’t apparent of course is the seriousness of the complaints which might have some relevance as to whether it merits sacking someone. You could equally ask how many BBC staff are sacked as a result of … Continue reading
The BBC have been delighting in a bit of ‘Blue on Blue’ in the Tory camp as Nigel Lawson suggests that George Osborne should give up some of his other roles and concentrate on the economy, and the BBC have been reporting his advice as often as possible. Fair enough…Lawson did say that…but Lawson also said that the reason the last budget was an ‘omnishambles’ was that unlike single party governments … Continue reading
A Biased BBC from Wales angrily writes.. “Suleman Arshad jailed for 16 months for sex related offences against a young girl “He had befriended “a naïve and shy” young woman” Regional paper report here. Regional BBC website…… Nil. They link other, lesser, stories about crime (inc 1700 ‘caught’ with no TV Licence) from the Daily Post website though.” All about priorities….
A Biased BBC reader was listening to the PM yesterday and has this to say.. “Towards the end of the PM programme we were promised they were going to talk about the census figures, which they admitted showed the biggest ever population increase (although still obviously a gross under count, no mention of the 1.4 million forms that weren’t returned). I guess the BBC thought they’d done their bit to … Continue reading
Just adding to David’s post on J’lem (via The Commentator)….the BBC has a profile of each country and illustrates them with a photograph. This is Israel: And this is Palestinians: You get the message….brutal Israeli oppressors armed with machine guns and tanks being heroically resisted by desperate, young Palestinains fighting for their freedom with all they have left to them…stones, bravery and determination. How about that old colonial … Continue reading
Oh joy. The Olympic Torch arrives in London and guess what, yes, someone tries to grab it whilst shouting Allahu Akhbar. Compare the BBC’s coverage here with this here. Almost as if they wanted to underplay the event…surely not. By the way, I see Owen Jones is on Any Questions. He’s a guy you rarely see on the BBC….
Wonder what you think of the BBC’s coverage of the Ldn games? Where? Oh, just trying for consistency… Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s spokesman Mark Regev sent a letter to the Director of the BBC’s Bureau in Israel, Paul Danahar on Thursday after the BBC Sport page failed to identify Israel’s capital city as Jerusalem. Until Wednesday afternoon, the page offering information about the Palestinian Olympic team referred to its capital as ‘East Jerusalem’, … Continue reading
