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
After increasing their spending on the US division of the BBC website, and making all those new hires, the BBC has now decided what the best use of those resources is: reporting Twitter. News tweets: Zombies attack ‘Amercia’ For the week of 27 May, here is the news – condensed into 10 topical tweets, some more serious than others. The highest possible quality journalism, worthy of the legacy of trust … Continue reading

The BBC led assualt on the Government continues apace this morning. First up we have the screaming headline that Andy Coulson has been arrested and charged with perjury by Scotland’s finest. This is deemed the single most important story in the UK this morning (Oh really?) but I suppose we can all understand WHY the BBC is hyping it… BBC chief political correspondent Norman Smith said: “Unlike the arrest of … Continue reading
Fascinating to read from our contributor Alan that one of the biggest and most important financial events is about to happen in the US with world changing effects and this is the world’s finest news organisation’s analysis: ‘Sorry, there are no results for ‘taxmageddon’ in the category ‘News’.’ In the US in January 2013 there looms a massive financial decision….a ‘cliff edge’ moment, when the realities of the US economy will strike home. … Continue reading
