You want to listen to this if you think the BBC is unbiased in how it covers the topic of Scottish Independence! They even find someone “who is going to have a party” when Lady Thatcher dies. It seems that Scotland “is fairer, more democratic and more tolerant” than England. I am sure Alex Salmond appreciates what the State Broadcaster is doing. Listen all the way through, if you dare. The … Continue reading
Wonder if you caught this item on the BBC this morning on the situation in Nigeria? It is a remarkable instance of pro-Islam propaganda. It talks about the “increasing tension between Christians and Muslins” but the fact is that it is Islamic Jihadists in Boko Haram that is driving the violence and the Emir interviewed talks of an Islam that is not recognisable in this country.

The BBC seems intent to help the SNP choose economic oblivion in 2014. In one sense they are welcome to it but in another it is in clear breach of their code of conduct. Have a listen to this item on Today this morning entitled “Can the Scottish economy stand alone?”. Some wonderful fantasy talk about “Scottish Oil”, of course, and not a mention that Scotland has stunningly high levels … Continue reading
There are certain touchstone issues that inflame BBC bias. I’m sure we can name several of them; Israel, Afghanistan, Global Warming, Capitalism….and Immigration. Today has been relentlessly pushing the line that despite the fact the 370,000 immigrants to the UK are on Welfare this is a big ho-hum because only around 2% of this number are ripping us off by claiming that which they are not entitled to. If you … Continue reading

I’ve been away for the better part of this week, hence lack of posts, but here is an overdue NEW one of these and more posts later! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
The BBC has been to fore in attacking the “evils” of bonus culture in the Private sector. Even this morning the topic loomed large on the Today programme. However there seems to be some double-speak in play.. At the beginning of 2009, Mark Thompson, director-general of the BBC, announced an end to bonuses and a pay freeze for senior employees. After years of executives living high on the hog, it … Continue reading
So the Union-led petition to force a recall election against Republican Gov. Scott Walker has gathered 1 million signatures. That’s nearly twice what’s required to force the recall. Of course, that’s only if the signatures are valid. If you get your information on this story from the BBC, you’d have no idea there’s even a hint of impropriety. The BBC news brief sanitizes the whole thing, spins it to make … Continue reading
