Oh dear. “The verdict is in and it isn’t good. The BBC’s coverage of the Thames Pageant has been trashed in today’s papers, and rightly so. The Corporation has in the past set the benchmark for broadcasters around the world when it comes to covering great state occasions. Last year it did a superb job on the Royal Wedding, for example. But yesterday was a car crash, or rather a … Continue reading
Windfarms. Why they are a matter of faith for the BBC as Biased BBC’s Alan explains… “What the papers did say apparently was that 70% of people in the UK love windfarms and would welcome them spreading across the UK…so says the Independent and Roger Harrabin. The BBC launched its own little pro windfarm offensive this morning on the Today programme….strangely all coinciding with the report that the government may cut … Continue reading
Here’s a new one of these as it looks like the other one is full up. New Open THREAD, jubilee themed.
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. Patryk Malinski felt that there was plenty left to be desired in this particulate … Continue reading
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
This is a wonderful example of BBC political bias, in this case pro-Obama. Even better it is gloriously self-unaware. It’s by Reggie Nadelson and it concerns a corner of New York that traditionally votes Republican – the city’s holiday destination, Brighton Beach. “Everyone smokes on Brighton Beach. The waiters, on their break, smoke. Over a bench not far away, an elderly couple in wide-brimmed hats raise a pair of nylon umbrellas … Continue reading
I see that Friday’s Open Thread is bulging at the seams so here’s another to keep things readable…
Once such a BBC hero, he’s been hard to find since May 2010. Biased BBC’s Alan asks; “Victoria Derbyshire asks (48 mins in ) ‘What’s happened to Gordon Brown?’ as he seems to have disappeared making only about 3 appearances in Parliament since he was deposed. A fair enough question, one that many people have been asking. It went along the lines of ‘He’s made a few mistakes, not of … Continue reading
Biased BBC contributor Alan raises the folllowing point; “A distinct case of hypocrisy from CIF when they tell us such ‘ravings’ from ‘Right Wing’ blogs created Breivik…..murdering non-believers, exterministic rhetoric, genocide…..where have we heard a case made for that before? The Koran. If anyone reading this is in the fortunate position of being on a BBC programme and you raise the question of religion and violence or religious believer’s attitude … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader draws our attention to this! “BBC “News” At One was reporting Amnesty International’s disapproval of the UN Security Council (UNSC) lack of action on Syria. Behind Sophie Raworth as she introduced the piece appeared the Amnesty International emblem together with an emblem from UNSC. The only problem was this was not the United Nations Security Council’s emblem, it was an emblem of the United Nations Space … Continue reading
