The sickness of Mark Mardell

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

Stop The Presses: A Biased Beeboid Tweet From the Right???

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

YES, EX PRIME MINISTER

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

WHAT HAPPENS IN WISCONSIN STAYS IN WISCONSIN…

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

ONLY THE MAD…

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

MONEY FOR NOTHING

I’m on the BBC this morning discussing the alleged story carried in The Guardian (where else?) about the firm Close Protection UK, which provided security services for the Jubilee celebrations, and which says it is going to investigate reports that it left unpaid workers stranded in London during the Jubilee celebrations. Obviously four days of non-stop celebration of Monarchy must have stuck in the caw of the BBC and it’s … Continue reading

BBC AND THE DIAMOND JUBILEE…

Well, anyone who endured the BBC’s coverage of the long weekend of National celebration of Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee won’t need me to tell you how awful it was. The BBC decided to treat is as a kind of rolling “One Show” with lightweight presenters asking inane questions. This contrasted with the excellent images the BBC provided. I enjoyed this from Stephen Pollard … At various points during the day … Continue reading

Newsnight reporter: “God save the ‪Queen‬ – no one else would bother.”

God save the #Queen – no one else would bother.Photo by @NicolePowers of @SuicideGirls yfrog.com/h09fdyjj — Greg Palast (@Greg_Palast) June 5, 2012 Judging by the past weekend I think there are a few million people who would take issue with that sentiment. Question is – how many people would be willing to save pissant lefty ego-cock Greg Palast?

THE BBC AND THE THAMES PAGEANT…

Oh dear. “The verdict is in and it isn’t good. The BBC’s coverage of the Thames Pageant has been trashed in today’s papers, and rightly so. The Corporation has in the past set the benchmark for broadcasters around the world when it comes to covering great state occasions. Last year it did a superb job on the Royal Wedding, for example. But yesterday was a car crash, or rather a … Continue reading
