Here is another interesting piece of analysis from B-BBC contributor Alan with which it is hard to argue! “It is a fact that government cuts are forcing local authorities to close libraries. We know this because the BBC tells us so. It is just one of the remorseless attacks on the poor and vulnerable in society that this government’s savage cuts inflict upon us….leading inevitably to social breakdown, lack of … Continue reading →

The National Institute for Economic and Social Research. It sounds important and credible and the BBC always seems to think so and happily reports its findings without any ‘warnings’ about being a ‘pressure group’ or ‘leftwing’.B-BBC contributor Alan details… “The NIESR tell us that there is no link between unemployment and mass immigration, it is now telling us that the government should adopt Labour’s ‘Plan B’ to stimulate growth based on … Continue reading →

Biased BBC exists to provide a forum for YOUR view, to allow you to point out the things that bother you about BBC coverage. Here are the views of a reader who is most concerned about how the State Broadcaster is dealing with the Huhne resignation issue; “I’ve been watching the coverage of Huhne’s resignation – on BBC 24-hour News channel- for the last 90 minutes.

I don’t listen to ANY QUESTIONS very often, after all there is only so much BBC that the human spirit can take. However as fate would have it, I did catch this most recent programme. It was from Wirral, so perhaps that was a warning. On the panel were;  Work and Pensions Minister, Maria Miller; Liberal Democrat President, Tim Farron; Shadow Secretary of State, Andy Burnham; and geneticist, Professor Steve … Continue reading →

Revolution’s Children

Children of the Revolution BBC2 was interesting.The three protagonists were young and camera friendly. Gigi, Ahmed and the Salafist were presented as young revolutionaries, striving for democracy, each in their own way.Was it another stuck-in-a-rut documentary that amounts to the creation of more ‘here today gone tomorrow’ celebrities and little else? Normally the viewer is required to project a fantasy of their own onto some vacuous telegenic character, but the … Continue reading →

Ah, you just gotta love Obama. Well, if you work for the BBC you do. Get this; US President Barack Obama challenged Congress to keep the economic recovery going as new data showed unemployment down to its lowest rate in three years. The unemployment rate dropped to 8.3%, beating analyst forecasts, and was down from 8.5% in December. Great stuff and a sign that recovery is now well underway. Time to … Continue reading →

Have you been following the BBC coverage of the resignation of Lib Dem Chris Huhne? It strikes me that now that Mr Huhne has gone to spend more time with his windmills, the BBC is rather gutted and if you read through this report it smacks of BBC sadness that one of their own has fallen from grace. Mind you, armed with the ‘simple sword of truth and the trusty shield … Continue reading →

The Sound of Breaking Glass

The genre ‘Rap’ (as in music) has a comical air, something to do with Ali G perhaps, and the more seriously it’s taken the more comical it becomes. This opinion is my own and does not represent that of the BBC.So the BBC’s decision to ban the words “Free” and “Palestine” from the lyrics of rapper Mic Righteous, or muffle them with the sound of breaking glass, would be hilarious, … Continue reading →
