Wonder what you make of this story on the BBC news portal concerning the decision by a South American trading bloc to close its ports to ships flying the Falkland Islands flag. Mercosur, which includes Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, came to the decision at a summit in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. Now then, South American hostility towards the British Falklands is hardly a recent phenomenon but I was sickened … Continue reading
You have to admire Trevor Kavanagh, associate editor of The Sun, for really putting it to the BBC. Listen to this – it’s not so much about bias in the item itself but rather about how the BBC itself has lied and misled and Kavanagh makes some excellent points about the dagers of media regulation. Anne Diamond has a less than polished outing (She misunderstands the Thomas Jefferson quote that … Continue reading

The UKuncut movement must feel satisfied at the publicity afforded it by the BBC this morning. Tim Street gets a four minute canter here, followed up by an extensive interview with Margaret Hodge here! Oh, those evil corporations. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I would not normally post on the same topic two days running, so forgive me.

It seems to me that these pesky n****s could be the BBC greenies’ latest line … Continue reading

Richard Black is the man most obviously at the delivery end of the BBC’s deeply biased approach to greenie reporting, as readers of this blog well know. This post unusually requires going back in time because I have only just got access to the transcripts, they take time to prepare. It’s worth re-visiting because they show the extent to which Mr Black works with others at the BBC to pursue … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader notes; “Here’s religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott this morning in sunny Jamaica: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9663000/9663844.stm But wait: the patois bible isn’t news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8698000/8698533.stm And much the same story from Pigott in 2008: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7675000/7675544.stm How many times does this need reporting, and what is the repetition from Jamaica costing us?
