Biased BBC contributor Alan observes how Martin Ivens has given the BBC a ‘fisking’ in the Sunday Times for never admitting it has a ‘dog in this fight with Murdoch’….and Thompson’s ‘most flagrant breach of the BBC’s impartiality obligations in its 90 year history’….and asks ‘who watches the watchmen?’. Not sure who watches them but I was listening on Friday to ‘Book of the Week’ and it gave us a … Continue reading
Biased BBC’s Alan brings a curiously non-judgemental piece on a Labour MP here: ‘A Labour MP has branded a fellow train passenger a “lager drinking oaf” and suggested he should “have been killed before he could breed”.’ If that had been said by a Tory imagine the outcry….in fact wasn’t some one hounded just for using the word ‘breed’ a while back? ‘Howard Flight (millionaire banker, euro sceptic and Peer)criticised … Continue reading
(Radio 4 Today 7:13) A religious studies exam question, “Explain why some people are prejudiced against Jews”, has sparked controversy over whether it is a reasonable question to put to young people. Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, discusses the question. So says the Today website. “You’re sitting an exam on religious studies. Question: Explain briefly why some people are prejudiced against Jews. Well, … Continue reading
Here’s a Friday morning round up from Biased BBC’s Alan…. “Hunt…..Was it the BBC’s own DG who signed a letter demanding the BSkyB bid didn’t go through and who made numerous speeches to that effect….as well as having his journalists smear news International….including the Panorama programme on ITV Digital’s failure? Scottish independence……listened to the news….only voice I heard was the SNP given a long snippet to themselves. And then there … Continue reading
This is the sort of reverse racist tripe the BBC does so well with lots of class war thrown in for extra value. It was on during the prime time slot @ 8.21am and showed a star struck Davis talking to someone who was well balanced with a chip on both shoulders about “posh boys”,,, Evan Davis meets British rapper Plan B ahead of the release of his hip hop … Continue reading
Well, Friday HAS arrived and here is the thread to take us all off into the wide blue yonder of the weekend. If you have spotted BBC bias then THIS is the place to share it…the floor is yours.
Another day of Leveson, and the BBC continues to delight in the pursuit of the Hunt! Jeremy Hunt. This daily witch hunt has one aim – to get Cameron to remove Hunt from his current Ministerial position and in this regard the BBC is proving very helpful to the Labour Party which happily shares the same aim . Hunt’s unspeakable crime was to support Murdoch’s BSkyB bid before he was … Continue reading
Anyone else catch the simpering interview Evan Davis conducted with SNP doyen Nicola Sturgeon on Today this morning @8.10am? The SNP campaign to leave the Union begins today and I felt she was given such an easy ride by Evan Davis, who should know better. For example, she made continual references to Scotland “paying its way” (It doesn’t, it is a net benefactor of English tax largesse via Barnett) and … Continue reading
This little piece of BBC bias was picked up over on Twitter by @IvorGrumble. I bring it your attention thanks to her eagle eyes… Tensions over fishing rights around the British territory of Gibraltar have been raised, following an incident involving Gibraltarian police boats and British Royal Navy, and Spanish police. It comes after several days of dispute in which Spanish police escorted Spanish fishing boats near the area. The … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader asks the sensible question…. “Yesterday it emerged that many BBC announcers, news readers and regular stars of major BBC programmes are being paid through companies, thereby paying lower rates of tax. Why are BBC journalists, as employees of a public broadcasting corporation, not investigating and reporting this news, together with background information and names, with the same passionate fervour at every opportunity on radio and TV, … Continue reading
