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 →

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 →

  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 →

    You’ve had to put up with a solid diet of my take on BBC bias for two weeks but David should be back in the saddle very shortly. I shall say thanks for not abusing me too much and pointing me in the direction of some good stories.

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’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 →

  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.

   ….or shoots itself in the foot. The BBC has commissioned a report on the BBC’s coverage of the ‘Arab Spring’…its conclusions…. The BBC’s coverage of the Arab Spring was generally impartial but could have benefited from greater breadth and context, according to the BBC Trust. It said the BBC should have done more to authenticate user-generated content (UGC), such as mobile phone footage taken by activists or bystanders. The … Continue reading →

Ever wondered why the BBC seemed so keen to take down Rupert Murdoch and News International?    Just part of the License Fund bargaining ploy……. NUJ general secretary Michelle Stanistreet said: “The upshot of the Leveson revelations of the Murdoch influence and stranglehold on the UK’s political process is a desperate need for a re-evaluation of the BBC licence deal. This was made behind closed doors and under what we know … Continue reading →

  Nick Robinson happy to tweet about coughs and football but misses the funny one when Labour’s Shadow Education Minister Kevin Brennan gets his numbers wrong: ‘Only 3 in 10 pupils, that’s 60% as I know the Secretary for State’s not very good at maths, got a good GCSE in 1997.’   However the BBC ever comprehensive in their approach to reporting the full story buried that gem in this … Continue reading →
