Some pithy comments here about the BBC from Christopher Booker.. “Boris Johnson calls for a Tory director-general to knock sense into the BBC. Perhaps he has forgetten that it already has a Tory chairman – that tireless Europhile and global warming zealot, Lord (Chris) Patten. 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
Wonder what you think of this report from the BBC on the just announced death of the Lockerbie bomber? Is it just me or does this seem quite….sympathetic?
It’s the sheer infantilism of it that offends. 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
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
Only on the BBC. Taliban Poetry. Oh god, and I complain about Seamus Heaney….
You have to hand it to the BBC, then sure know how to spin. Take that most corrupt crime infested country white farmer murdering land that is South Africa. Turns it the big angle on it is making it a mecca (sic) for ..yes, gay tourism. Have a read, this is pure pro-Gay propaganda.
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
This story is brought to my attention.. “Iran hangs ‘Israel spy’ over nuclear scientist killing Majid Jamali Fashi delivered a “confession” on Iranian television. A man convicted of killing an Iranian nuclear scientist in Tehran two years ago has been hanged, Iran’s state media report. Majid Jamali Fashi, 24, was convicted of killing Professor Massoud Ali Mohammadi by detonating a bomb outside his home in January 2010. Fashi was also accused of being a … Continue reading
This whimsy was sent my way… The liberal media took another stunning defeat Tuesday as Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace totally demolished the BBC’s Katty Kay on Jeopardy!.

I see the BBC have covered Warsi’s comments on a “small minority” of Pakistani men seeing young white girls as “fair game”. Lots of parenthesis lest we got the wrong impression and how wonderful to read that extensive item without the words MUSLIM or ISLAM getting a mention. That said, Mosques do get a name check but happily the world class BBC journos hit the brakes at that point….
