I wanted to draw your attention to this excellent post by Neil Winton on his blog Winton’s World on the topic of the BBC conjuring up of “right wing” extremists in the Ukraine. “Finally, a minor triumph over the BBC to report. Right-wing extremists in Ukraine are now routinely described as “extremists”. After watching the news earlier in the week, in which the BBC reported on its own “documentary” about … Continue reading
The BBC had quite a rattle at the alleged “exploitation” of the unemployed by the wicked employer CPUK at the River Pageant yesterday. This Guardian/Labour/BBC assault now looks a little shoddy when we read… “The company has also received messages from other volunteers. One said they were ‘treated with the utmost respect and highly praised for the work we had done’, while others said they were looking forward to working … Continue reading
Tonight Question Time comes from Inverness. Everyone is welcome to come along but I want to make it clear I want best behaviour, no ad hominems. Or else. On the panel we have the most convoluted, adjusted and argued-over panel for many a year. On the panel, Deputy First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon MSP, former leader of the Liberal Democrats Charles Kennedy MP, Labour’s leader in Scotland Johann Lamont … Continue reading
May I commend this excellent post by Daphne Anson on the BBC’s “Horrible Histories”? Do give it a read… “Manipulative and mind-bending, the BBC nowadays rarely makes a series on British history that is without a political agenda informing the narrative. One series, a gripping and enjoyable one about the glories of Bronze Age Britain, depicted the Roman Invasion as a disaster for the already highly civilised and skilled native … Continue reading
Bless the BBC, They have finally found an “Iron Lady” that they like. No, not Thatcher, they hate her. But rather, Angela Merkel. The BBC’s Stephen Evans was eulogising her on Today @ 8.38 and the consensus is that her quest to control the EU is a good thing. Following that, as a nod in the direction of..cough… Euroscepticism, they trooped on ..David Owen. Yes, him. His big theme was… … Continue reading
Words fail me. Mardell has done a blog post about the Walker result, opining that, regardless of whether or not it actually means anything for the rest of the country, it’s still a psychological boost the the Republicans. Which it is, although Mardell wants you to think they’re wrong for feeling that way. He then plays the writer’s game of asking a question so he can give his opinion without … Continue reading
I was shocked to read this tweet by Jonny Dymond about a Wall Street Journal op-ed from June 1: A ringing reminder of the joy of Hayek in today’s #wsj. Always good to see freed defended. — Jonny Dymond (@JonnyDymond) June 1, 2012 The exception which proves the rule at last, and in the interests of fairness and credit where due I have to point it out. This doesn’t mean … Continue reading
Here’s another take on one of the most important stories in the UK today, if one believes BBC coverage! Biased BBC’s Alan notes; “Listening to ‘Today’ this morning raises two, at least, questions….first, just how much can a serious news organisation dumb down and secondly, just how high will that organisation jump when the Labour Party bosses tell them to? A prime example of why the BBC should have been in Leveson … Continue reading
I was delighted to see that Obama got a bloody nose in Wisconsin but it’s OK, BBC has it sorted. A B-BBC reader writes; “So a Republican Governor in a state which has voted for Democrat Presidential candidates in every election since Reagan took a greater share than either Obama or Hollande managed in their head-to-heads, beating his rival by close to 8%. Spot the difference in reporting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18336641 Some great excerpts here…. 1. The … Continue reading
Biased BBC’s Alan reveals a bit of a killer blow for Richard Black here….. Below is an article from ‘Nature’ science magazine that proves that the pro CO2 abolition groups are advancing a leftwing ideology and not science….it is cultural and political… and what’s even better is that….. Richard Black is caught out with his long held beliefs demolished, discredited and shot so full of holes that it wouldn’t hold … Continue reading
