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

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…
A Biased BBC who tuned in to “Any Answers” writes to me with this comment.. “There was a disgraceful intervention by Jonathan Dimbleby in todays Any Answers. Only minutes after saying that the cultural/racial issues of the Rochdale paedophile trials are properly discussed on the programme and there was no attempt not to discuss the real issues he interrupted one contributor who wanted to discuss how the teachings of islam … Continue reading
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
