TALKING BALLS ON TODAY

You have to almost admire the brass neck of the BBC. This morning, we were treated to the thoughts of Ed Balls, interviewed by Sarak Montague. on Today @ 7.34am. He was allowed to spout his usual playbook mantra which reduces down to attacking Cameron over and over again for a “lack of leadership” and now condemning Germany for it daring to insist that Greece honours its debts. Just ten … Continue reading

Life In These United States – No. 5

It’s time for another one. This one lasts 16:15.  I try to keep them down to 15 minutes, but I don’t have the benefit of all those BBC editors and producers. As always, it’s meant to be a rebuttal to BBC coverage. Life In These United States – No. 5 (Audio hosted by EyeTube) SOURCES: Insurers Must Credit Obamacare When Isuing Rebate Checks Health insurers to pay $1.3 billion in … Continue reading

NOT ALL NEWS IS NEWS…

Wonder WHY the BBC seem a tad reluctant to report this story? “An emergency medical crew narrowly escaped being lynched this week while responding on the scene of an injurious car accident near Jerusalem, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Friday. The fateful call came on Tuesday; a car carrying a group of Palestinian youths from DNA match found in TA rape case.” One wonders if the reverse scenario had occurred and Jews had carried … Continue reading

TRIVIAL PURSUIT?

Some pithy comments here about the BBC from Christopher Booker.. “Boris Johnson calls for a Tory director-general to knock sense into the BBC.

As a footnote, to illustrate how trivial so much BBC coverage has become, its political correspondent Nick Robinson last week reported David Cameron’s claim to … Continue reading

The BBC glowingly reports that… US President Barack Obama has said there is an “emerging consensus” that European countries must now focus on growing the State and the number of State workers jobs and growth. Speaking after the G8 summit of some of the world’s leading economies, he said the US was confident that Europe can meet its challenges. President Obama said … Continue reading

Bad Influence

For reasons best known to them (probably), the BBC World service came up with a poll to measure selected countries’ perceptions of certain other countries’ influence. Israel comes out slightly above Hell on Earth. Since the BBC and the BBC World Service have been pumping out selected information about the aforementioned countries, and withholding certain other selected information, it throws up an analogy thus: I run a monopolistic campaign to … Continue reading

GOING FOR GROWTH

BBC coverage of the G8 Camp David Summit is as predictable as ever and riven by anti-British bias. The BBC have adopted the line that Hollande and his exciting “growth” plans have synched with Obama and isolated Cameron. And maybe Merkel. Funny how you never hear the BBC report on this little detail. US National Debt  2008          $10,699, 804,612, 604 US National Debt 2012     … Continue reading
