Out of 40 tweets from Mardell 28 are about Paul Ryan or Mitt Romney. For ‘two boring white men’ Mardell certainly finds a lot to talk about on them….not so much on Obama…..how’s his campaign going then? Just as well we have a Guardian hit on Obama to even things up in one fell swoop (The BBC haven’t let it bother them): ‘This swiftboating of Mitt Romney disgraces Barack Obama … Continue reading →

Jonty Bloom had an item on Today this morning about this with the not so subtle meme that basically this change will drive us all into poverty. Talk about inflating hype!  I suppose expecting the BBC to look at it from another perspective, namely cutting the bloated Public … Continue reading →

The BBC is always rigorous in its work when it comes to certain subjects….Israel, George Bush, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and undermining the Tory Party…it is also well known for attacking ‘America’ itself, its values and customs, its legal system and health care, its gung ho attitude to life.
