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….
Time to “go for growth” and open one of these to see us all off into the broad blue yonder of the weekend. The floor is yours, use it.
Tonight Question Time comes from Cardiff from the original Welsh “Cahhhhdeff”. The “You Are Leaving Cardiff” sign has been voted Most Welcome Sight for six years running. The dialling code for Cardiff is 029 which came second in the 2011 Wales Most Interesting Area Code competition, losing out to Newport’s 01633.* On the panel: Minister for Disabled People Maria Miller (who? And why do they need a Minister?); the only … Continue reading
This is a guest post by B-BBC reader A Libertarian Rebel…do give it a read. “There must be very few, if any, B-BBC readers unaware of the visceral hatred which our much beloved national broadcaster harbours towards all things Murdoch and News International. It’s dressed up, of course, as a lofty, altruistic, public-service-broadcasting concern about quality standards and the monopolistic effects of excessive market share (conveniently ignoring, err, the Beeb’s … Continue reading
“Cutting on the bias” in wood or textiles means cutting diagonally against the grain so that it accentuates the lines. That’s what’s going on at the BBC’s special section on the US 2012 election. It hasn’t been updated in a couple of days, and here’s how it appears now: White House propaganda, White House propaganda, and more of it, with a couple of fluff pieces thrown in. The top story … Continue reading
Only the BBC would dream of digging up a graveyard full of corpses who were punks in 1977 when we were celebrating the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. “I was against the Silver Jubilee, against the symbolism and the money being spent on the festivities. My friends and I thought the royals could afford to pay for the party themselves.” Thus one Louise Bolotin, a 50 year old “writer”, reminiscing about those … Continue reading
I suppose when you are a state enforced monopoly this sort of thing brought to my attention by a B-BBC causes little concern; “There was a freedom of information request 2009/2010 that showed that 94% of BBC staff advertising spending was with the Guardian. in defiance of their market share among quality dailies. I raised this on a BBC “have your say” page in response to some idiot/or perhaps a … Continue reading
So, there I am with Kerry Katona on one side and Jon Gaunt on the other! Here’s the link to my appearance on BBC1 Nolan TV show last night for those prepared to be brave enough to watch. Have to say that I feel I was treated fairly. I’m on first….
The other day, DB posted about the BBC’s dutiful promotion of White House propaganda about Mitt Romney’s earnings from investment in Bain Capital. They put up the President’s campaign video, and helpfully explained how awful Romney was for earning money off of a failed company and sending poor innocent workers to the unemployment line. The campaign meant to attack Romney’s business record, attempting to tarnish his track record of successfully … Continue reading
