May I commend this most excellent article concerning how the BBC deals with Jewish people; “American Presidents have long been criticized for being too in thrall to the Jewish lobby. The American Jews influence US foreign policy and that explains Washington’s unwavering support for Israel.” Who made this statement this past week? (a) A disgruntled fringe neo-Nazi (b) Some poor soul ranting on their Facebook page (c) The BBC Sadly, … Continue reading
Excellent stuff from Boris Johnson here, little wonder the BBC went into mourning when he beat Red Ken the other week! Can anyone imagine Cameron being as forthright? “The BBC is unlike any other media organisation in the free world, in that it levies billions from British households whether they want to watch it or not. No wonder its employees have an innocent belief that everything in life should be … Continue reading
Did you read this profile of that other very modern BBC journalist Evan Davis. It’s the The Guardian, naturally… ‘Beneath the serious exterior of a BBC economics guru, Evan Davis reveals a fun, charming, exuberant side – and, perhaps, some interesting piercings Really, life is full of little surprises. Twelve hours before trotting off to TV centre to meet Evan Davis, I just thought of him as the bloke off … Continue reading
Here is a description of a BBC journalist…… ‘What would Lord justice Leveson make of this journalist? The most influential journalist in Britain, a man of boundless energy and conviction who breaks almost every rule imaginable. He has twisted the truth, invented quotations and doctored pictures….all he said in the name of the greater good. He fancies himself as Britain’s moral guardian who wants God to give him a big whip … Continue reading
I picked up on this very odd BBC article yesterday as did B-BBC contributor Alan. It’s all about making the grotesque events in Rochdale seem more “universal” and less linked to …., ahem, Islam. As Alan puts it ” The BBC rapid rebuttal service for Muslims goes into operation.” What happened in Rochdale is apparently happening in Northern Ireland too….. Rochdale-type abuse cases ‘occur in Northern Ireland’ Vulnerable young girls in … Continue reading
The BBC opposed military intervention in Libya and when Cameron and Sarkozy actually committed to the air campaign (with Obama “leading from behind, as ever) there was a lot of BBC huffing and puffing. We all know how things worked out and it is clear the BBC called it wrong. So when the organisation Human Rights Watch produces a report that alleges NATO air strikes killed 72 civilians and that … Continue reading
Well yesterday was a busy day for me and I thought I would share my experience with you. You see I was in the BBC studio and also on the BBC phoneline. The experiences contrasted vividly. Firstly, I was on BBC NI “Sunday Sequence” discussing the local economy. My opponent was a hard left Marxist called Eamonn McCann and I thought the host was very even handed in how he … Continue reading
It’s time for another one of these. This one clocks in at 16:45. Sorry, but it’s hard to trim this down to 15 minutes each time. Sources listed below. Life In These United States – No. 4 (Audio hosted by EyeTube) Note to defenders of the indefensible: This is meant as a rebuttal to BBC reporting on US issues. I don’t pretend I’m making some lofty, impartial report, but I … Continue reading
The BBC lost no time in pimping the foiling of the Yemeni Underwear bomber plot. The US has foiled a plot by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to detonate an upgraded version of the failed 2009 “underwear bomb”, US officials say. Quotes followed from Sec of Defence Leon Panetta and Sec of State Hilarry Clinton “These terrorists keep trying. They keep trying to devise more and more perverse and terrible … Continue reading
Leveson is essentially the daily weapon used to undermine the Government by the BBC and Labour. It gets massive priority in the BBC daily news agenda although I suggest that most people could not care less about the nuances of who said what to whom and when in the media village. Today, on Today, we had the BBC sniggering at the “revelation” that David Cameron ended his texts to Rebekah Wade … Continue reading
