A B-BBC reader asks; “During the milder than normal November/December of 2011, I saw a weather report on the BBC which used a graphic comparing temperatures to the average for the time of year. From memory, the graphic and the temperature line used nice warmish colours and was on an upward trajectory. This indicated the temperature was above average for the time of year, and that it would be rising … Continue reading
Biased BBC’s Alan reports;2The truth of theallegations against Jimmy Saville are not proven in any way and that is not thepoint of this…..here the BBC felt that the mere accusation was enough to’tarnish’ the BBC’s reputation and so they filed the report away never to beseen. BBC ‘buried Savile sex abuse claims to save its reputation’The BBC shelved a Newsnight investigation into allegations that Sir JimmySavile sexually abused a teenage girl … Continue reading
BBC seem pretty happy about this news! They rolled the NOTW and it seem to me that they would just love to ensure that The Sun sets. Thoughts? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Here’s one for you. Spend a moment or two studying the “Issues” page of the Mia Love for Congress website. Ms. Love is a Republican candidate for the US House of Representatives from Utah. Issues – Mia Love Notice the issues listed, and her positions on them. Note especially the ethnicity of all the people in the accompanying photos. Also notice how close her positions on certain issues tie in … Continue reading
Once upon a time, I enjoyed the News Quiz! Barry Took was a decent cove as Chairman and the likes of Alan Coren provided acid wit and intelligence. Fast forward to this edition broadcast today with Sandi Toksvig in the chair and charmers like Jeremy Hardy and Phil Jupitus on the panel. I was really quite surprised to hear Toksvig tell Her Majesty “to get over herself” as concerns the … Continue reading
The BBC never ceases to push a Nanny State agenda and often stumbles across some ingenious angles to use: An American-Indian tribe in South Dakota has sued some of the world’s biggest beer firms over severe alcohol-related issues in the community. The Oglala Sioux Tribe are asking for $500m (£316m) for healthcare, social services and child rehabilitation. Okay, so is anyone thirsty around here? The lawsuit also names the nearby town … Continue reading
Yes, this one did catch my attention and B-BBC Alan lays out the indictment; “A squirmingly coy Evan Davis attempts ‘clever’ but finishes looking ‘stupid’. Here Davis thinks he can work a fast one on Mark Toner from the US State Department asking him if the US would ever veto a UN security council resolution to defend an ‘ally’ in the Middle East. Davis believes this is a ‘cheeky’ question….implying … Continue reading

Tonight Question Time comes from London. David Dimbleby is joined by Defence Secretary Philip Hammond, Alastair Campbell, Shirley Williams (apparently not dead yet, it seems), Alan Partridge Steve Coogan and journalist Ann Leslie. Just an observation – only one elected person on the whole panel? Really? As with last week, please remember that humour is good, sarcasm is fine, biting wit is even better but direct threats of violence and … Continue reading
Interesting post HERE on the DT from Ed West concerning the BBC; “The difference between the makers of Fox’s political programmes and the BBC is that the former believe they are in a battle of ideas while the latter genuinely thinks their beliefs are “the” default correct ones. That is why the BBC – which is still a first-class broadcaster – is so keen to respond to criticism of bias, … Continue reading
