I see that the BBC are busy churning out Labour talking points as news this morning…if Labour say it is true it must be true. “The number of elderly people in England getting council-funded care has fallen by 11% in the last two years, figures obtained by Labour suggest. Freedom of Information responses from 121 councils showed they provided free care to 59,056 over 65s in 2011-12, down from 66,342 … Continue reading
Have to laugh at the way in which the BBC are playing along with the content of the left play book that somehow “growth” is this years model! Francois Hollande’s vacuous suggestions about “growth” are treated by BBC correspodents as if they were a serious economic proposal rather than just another EU-phemism for further spending. There is no consideration of what this “growth” is, how it is going to be … Continue reading
Did you see that the BBC are gleefully providing the Police Trade Union with a platform to attack Theresa May? It seems she is “destroying” a police service admired throughout the world. I wonder if this is the same police service (sic) that the BBC never misses the opportunity to put the boot into? From the shooting of Jean Paul de Menezes, through the summer riots, to that institutionalised racism … Continue reading
Middle of the Week and so time for a new Open Thread. Here’s your chance to detail the bias….off you go….
The BBC seem exultant that Rebekah Brooks has been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. In fact this is the lead story on their UK news portal, the single biggest story for the UK population apparently. This is media village indulgence and I have to say that I feel sorry for Brooks and contempt for the self indulgence of the BBC.
Israel-supporting blogs have been cross posting an account of the manner in which Richard Millett was roughly ejected from yet another of the sinister pro-Palestinian meetings that abound in London institutions. The organisers objected to the fact that he was filming, but as there were others doing so too, it is more likely that they simply objected to his presence. He makes it his duty to attend these functions, which … Continue reading
I know we tackled this yesterday and it got quite a response but I think this post by B-BBC contributor Alan adds to the debate… “Listened to Any Questions in astonishment…..they nearly all refused to engage with the real issue…not that girls were raped but how they were selected…..which is why the attacks went on for so long originally. Raping girls in short skirts….“So what is wrong in it? Who … Continue reading
Here’s one where I would appreciate your help. Did you know that Biased BBC, a site specifically and uniquely set up to challenge the BBC’s lack of impartiality, has been classified as a “hate site”? I am advised that “it was blocked on O2 and T-Mobile on 5th March. It is classified as a ‘hate site’ by O2’s URL checker” This is an outrage. Can I ask you to contact these … Continue reading
The Obama campaign has released an ad attacking Romney as a job killer during his time at the private equity firm Bain Capital. The pro-Obama team at the BBC Washington bureau has already produced two online pieces promoting the ad, which it describe as follows: The video features former workers of a steel plant that was bought and later shut down by Bain Capital, the private equity firm co-founded by … Continue reading
Monday morning arrives and so it is time for a shiny new Francois Hollande approved Open Thread. Let’s focus on the “growth” of bias…shall we? The floor is yours…
