Well then, I doubt that there is anyone who has turned the BBC on today who has not been beaten around the head by the racism that abounds in the UK, in the Police, and as manifest in the murder of Stephen Lawrence. Look, like all civilised people I find the murder of any person revolting (One reason I am in favour of the death penalty, unlike the self righteous … Continue reading
No, I haven’t gone mad but I am interested in your take on this. The BBC is claiming it generates £7bn worth of “value” each year and uses this Deloitte report to allegedly validate the claim. Give it a read and get back to me. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Sometimes, bias is revealed in small ways. This morning, I heard the BBC talk about the likely results of the Iowa caucuses as concerns the GOP candidates in the running there. What got me was that they said that Republican candidates were hoping ” to prevent ” President Obama winning a second term. Subtle language, instantly casting the GOP candidates as being negative, seeking to stop something happening. They could … Continue reading
Polly Toynbee, former BBC correspondent and let-them-eat cake socialist, has framed a tub-thumping Cnut-like expression of the corporation’s sense of self-importance here. Note especially the nasty, venomous, gutter-level disdain she has for any form of broadcast competition, and, of course, Sky. True to form, she has neatly airbrushed out of the equation any consideration of the fast-fragmenting broadcasting environment and the absurdity of a hypothecated cane-the-poor, send-poor-mothers-to-jail broadcasting tax when, … Continue reading
There was a real BBC hatchet job carried over the holidays concerning Margaret Thatcher and her approach to Liverpool in the early ’80’s and B-BBC contributor Alan picks up on the detail;“And aren’t we luckythat we are forced, under threat of imprisonment, to pay the salaries of thosewho lie to us so grievously? One man’s suggestion to the Conservative government in 1981 has been spun asanother example of a wicked Thatcherite … Continue reading

Biased BBC’s Alan notes; “Richard Black illustrates why he is not a good journalist…allowing prejudice and bad judgement to influence his reporting. On Twitter he claims people who don’t follow the ‘consensus’ in science damage the planet…meaning the ‘Sceptics’ on AGW except his example would actually denounce the BRIC countries that are being allowed to carry on pumping out CO2 to enable them to industrialize (if the CO2 issue is … Continue reading
The BBC’s US President editor (“North America editor” is a misnomer, as Mardell never discusses – with the lone exception of the heroic Pvt. Manning – anything other than US politics and things which affect the President) wrapped up 2011 with an assessment of where things stand for Him as we head into the election year. Mardell actually writes critically of Him, admitting that things haven’t gone so brilliantly, but … Continue reading

You can always rely on the cringeworthy Archbishop of Canterbury and the totally barking Camilla Batmanghelidjh to pop up on the BBC and trot out their neo-Marxist agenda without any counter point. Such is the case today with both these sopping wet leftists afforded a platform to tell us that the feral rioters of last summer were misunderstood angels with dirty faces that “we” have let down. No one asked to … Continue reading
