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
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
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?
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
Windfarms. Why they are a matter of faith for the BBC as Biased BBC’s Alan explains… “What the papers did say apparently was that 70% of people in the UK love windfarms and would welcome them spreading across the UK…so says the Independent and Roger Harrabin. The BBC launched its own little pro windfarm offensive this morning on the Today programme….strangely all coinciding with the report that the government may cut … Continue reading
Here’s a new one of these as it looks like the other one is full up. New Open THREAD, jubilee themed.
A Biased BBC reader has sent me this very interesting analysis of BBC spin on BBC alarmism over possible football crowd problems in Poland. “With just a week to go before the start of the 2012 European Championships, the BBC stands accused of spreading alarmism over concerns regarding crowd trouble and racism at this summers tournament. Patryk Malinski felt that there was plenty left to be desired in this particulate … Continue reading
Here’s a new one, clocking in at 14:35. Sorry I missed last week, just had no time to prepare anything. As always, this is meant as a rebuttal to BBC reporting on US issues. Life In These United States – No. 6 (Audio hosted by EyeTube) SOURCES: Weak US job figures for May hit markets Katty Kay’s tweet More Sub-Par Employment Numbers Politifact: Voter fraud means GOP candidates in Wisconsin … Continue reading
This is a wonderful example of BBC political bias, in this case pro-Obama. Even better it is gloriously self-unaware. It’s by Reggie Nadelson and it concerns a corner of New York that traditionally votes Republican – the city’s holiday destination, Brighton Beach. “Everyone smokes on Brighton Beach. The waiters, on their break, smoke. Over a bench not far away, an elderly couple in wide-brimmed hats raise a pair of nylon umbrellas … Continue reading
I see that Friday’s Open Thread is bulging at the seams so here’s another to keep things readable…
