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.

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.

But for the BBC? when a socialist loses, it’s ‘tight’; when a socialist wins, it’s ‘clear’. Ho hum.
Have you been watching BBC coverage of the win by Socialist Hollande in the French Presidential election? I be the champagne will flow in broadcasting house – socialism is back (along with a run on the Euro very very shortly)
The latest edition of my report is up on EyeTube now (no embed possible at the moment). It clocks in at 15:23. Some stuff the BBC covered badly, and some they haven’t covered at all. Sources are below, and my thanks to all those who took the time to listen to the previous editions. Life In These United States – No. 3 SOURCES: BBC report about slowing US jobs growth, … Continue reading
Two images of Obama’s campaign launch. Which one comes from the BBC?
On this morning’s edition of BBC Radio Five Live’s Weekend Breakfast presenter Colin Paterson was stunned to hear that prosecutors in the Guantanamo trial of the chief 9/11 suspects are actually calling for the death penalty. What sort of bubble must one inhabit to find that surprising? (Click through for audio.)
