CUT BY TWO THIRDS….

Over at the DT, James Delingpole brings these words of Sir Anthony Jay to our attention; No, what really needs changing is the size of the BBC. All we need from it is one television channel and one speech radio station – Radio 4, in effect. All its other mass of activities – publishing, websites, orchestras, digital channels, music and local radio stations – could be disposed of without any … Continue reading

SPINNING FOR BRUSSELS

Wanting to share this link to Conservative Home and their take on the BBC’s outrageous ongoing coverage of Cameron’s defence of the UK national interest. All that has been missing is black armbands and solemn music. Some interesting comments in the ConHome thread. Hope the guys over on ConHome might recognise our ongoing exposure of the BBC. Just watching Simon Hughes on the BBC telling us that there will be … Continue reading

DURBAN POISON…

You have to admire the pro-EU spin that Richard Black – the BBC’s resident eco-alarmist – served up here. Nations seeking a strong climate change deal at the UN talks received a rebuff as draft texts proposed future emission cuts kicking in after 2020. The EU and many countries vulnerable to climate impacts say that is too late to prevent major consequences, and cuts should start well before. They also want to ensure … Continue reading

DON’T MENTION THE "D" WORD

Yesterday’s edition of the Today programme managed the impressive feat of reporting the jailing of Rod Blagojevich without mentioning that he’s a Democrat. This morning’s edition reported on MF Global boss Jon Corzine’s appearance before a congressional committee and, while pointing out that he’s a former senator, once again there was no reference to the fact that he too is a Democrat. And what of Corzine’s role as a major … Continue reading

AT WAR!

Well then, wonder what you make of the BBC’s coverage of the Euro-talks and David Cameron’s decision to veto the proposed Treaty. Nick Robinson seems to think we are now at war with Merkozy and her Gaulieters and that Britain is “isolated”. Good, I am glad we are as isolated as possible from the folly in Brussels. But the BBC is painting this as if it was the end of … Continue reading

FOLLOW THE MONEY…

As Durban fizzles out – much to Richard Black’s chagrin– and the wheels spectacularly fall off the renewables frenzy, Christopher Booker has summed up brilliantly the saga of how the corporation has abandoned its impartiality. There’s no hiding place from his searchlight; what has happened has been a deliberate, sustained climate alarmist campaign sanctioned from the highest levels and pursued with a vigour that would have impressed even Goebbels and … Continue reading

HOW THE WEST WENT BUST….

An astounding piece of pro-Labour propaganda from Robert Peston, says Biased BBC contributor Alan ‘The Party’s Over:How the West Went Bust ‘In a one hour programme describing how we ended up bust and bankrupt Peston does not mention ‘Labour’ by name once…even more remarkably the man who was Chancellor of the Exchequer and Prime Minister in Labour’s 13 year Great Leap Backward, Gordon Brown, also remains unmentioned. Who does Peston … Continue reading
