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.

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

Behind Sophie Raworth as she introduced the piece appeared the Amnesty International emblem together with an emblem from UNSC.

News tweets: Zombies attack ‘Amercia’ For the week of 27 May, here is the news – condensed into 10 topical tweets, some more serious than others.
