Remarkable; “Production staff in an English TV crew were dismayed when they lost the chance to work at the World Snooker Championships for the BBC. But their disappoint turned to anger, when they realised their jobs were still available, but had been replaced under a quota scheme which favoured employing staff from Scotland. As a result, Scottish production crews were relocated to England and put up in a hotel – … Continue reading
Biased BBC’s Alan reports “Always a good morning to hear Justin Webb making a hash of things and getting the wrong end of the stick….that’ll be most mornings then. He was chortling and enjoying the ‘Shareholder Spring’ and which he suggested was all about a movement against the greed of the Bosses who were being paid for failure….and refuting that old ‘myth’ that the companies couldn’t recruit the best staff if they didn’t … Continue reading
Did anyone else catch Stephanie “Two Eds” Flanders on the Today programme this morning discussing the economic policies of Francois Hollande? I was stunned to hear her claim that there is really very little, if any, substantive difference between what the foaming at the mouth Socialist Hollande has in mind and what Sarkzoy was doing. Total nonsense. It is Hollande’s radicalism that won the election (along with people being fed … Continue reading
Been busy all day so just catching up, thanks to all who sent me this catch from Guido’s! Fearlessly impartial!! Is this a joke or is it real?
We’ve been banging on about Operation Fast and Furious for quite a while here on Biased BBC but, understandably, some people may still be not up to speed on the topic. It’s a growing scandal in the States and has the potential to become a big issue in the US presidential campaign. The BBC has touched on the story, but only in that unenthusiastic late-to-the-party nothing-to-see-here manner it adopts whenever … Continue reading
Amazing that the BBC would waste time on this sort of Jurassic hot air!
Here we go folks, Monday morning arrives and time for a new general Open Thread to detail your observations of BBC bias. The floor is yours..
Well then, EU-phoria rules at the BBC this morning as they celebrate the “decisive” victory by their poster garcon Hollande in France last evening. Hard to know where to start but Evan Davis was in Paris and seemed almost giddy with excitement as the new red France era dawns. Did you hear him? The funniest moment for me was when they wheeled on Peter Mandelson who was suggesting that the … Continue reading
Biased BBC’s Alan observes; http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01h7k21/Have_I_Got_News_for_You_Series_43_Episode_4/ ‘Have I Got News For You’ loads the dice by having Jeremy Clarkson host the show…..easy meat for Hislop and Merton when Murdoch has just been villified by people with no vested interests what so ever. Clarkson as well as being a columnist for the Murdoch (Boo Hiss) Sun is also one of the notorious ‘Chipping Norton Set’ renowned for eating babies and hunting down … Continue reading
A B-BBC reader observes; London Mayor: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17946742 Boris wins ‘by tight margin’ (51.5% vs 48.5%) French President: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17975660 Hollande has won ‘a clear victory’ (51.7% vs 48.3%) An impartial observer might note that the percentages are practically identical. But for the BBC? when a socialist loses, it’s ‘tight’; when a socialist wins, it’s ‘clear’. Ho hum.
