Interesting catch of a little non-reporting from the BBC by Alan… “BBC draws a veil over uncomfortable subject…. “A 7 hour stand off by armed police with army bomb disposal experts on hand to check a bag carried by a ‘veiled’ woman acting suspiciously. The Daily Mail reports this with photos of the woman and the reason for the standoff….. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2114485/Portrait-Britain-2012-Armed-police-train-guns-veiled-woman-fearing-bomb-bag.html The BBC has no photos of the woman, they … Continue reading →

Biased BBC correspondent Alan writes; “You have to look hard to find this story on the BBC website: Imam dies in mosque arson attack in Belgian capital http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17346927 It doesn’t make the Homepage (though ironically it does have a report on Le Pen running in the French election), nor even merit a highlighted report on the world news…just a line in ‘Europe’. Could the reason be for this lack of … Continue reading →

The BBC’s ‘Altered States’ – Painting A Picture

By David Preiser (USA) | March 14, 2012 - 7:47 pm |April 11, 2013 2012 US election, bbc bias by omission, biased reporting, Franz Strasser, racism, US News

The BBC continues its ‘Altered States’ series of reports to convince you that the US has somehow become more divided and racist since the election of a black President in 2008. It wouldn’t be called ‘Altered’ if it wasn’t somehow different from before, right? The last installment also featured race and pushed a “Racist US” Narrative. I won’t go so far as to say the reference to the movie was … Continue reading →

"so laughably inaccurate that I thought I must be hearing things"

Now, to be fair, it may be that Jeremy Paxman’s researchers are totally ignorant of British history – in other words, have been educated by leftist teachers. Because, after all, the tale of the Sudan spun by him last night sounds like the Guardian version of history. But as that CP Scott was always saying, facts are sacred. Apparently his series “Empire” is a flagship programme. Pity the flagship is … Continue reading →

Forgive me for mentioning something non-BBC, but has anyone seen a more spectacular own goal than the Guardian’s unintentionally truthful advertising campaign? “The Whole Picture” goes the slogan. Everyone knows that the real Little Pigs were acting in self defence when they tricked the wolf into coming down the chimney and landing in the boiling water. The ad boasts that the Guardian is ‘telling the whole story,’ when they’re so … Continue reading →

Mustafa Barghouti was given a nice gentle time by Evan this a.m. Not that I prefer the Humphrys method of interrogation, which hardly gives the interviewee a chance to state his case.But Mustafa was given free rein to spout a series of unadulterated porky pies. “Is the ceasefire in effect?” asked Evan, nicely.“Israel provoked the cycle of violence by attacking Gaza viciously. [it’s all Israel’s fault] ” replied Mustafa at … Continue reading →
