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

NONE SO BLIND….

Biased BBC contributor Alan notes…. “Wednesday was fascinating…if you had flicked between the various BBC radio channels you would have heard a consistent drumbeat….S&P, Standard and Poor the rating agency, is wrong, not only wrong but incompetent and unqualified with no special insider knowledge of the markets…or no more than say a well read layman. Why did I enjoy that? Because every time the BBC ‘expert’ piped up with his … Continue reading

NOT ALL STORIES ARE EQUAL…

I received this email earlier today….“This story makes the BBC England page headlineBut you can’t find this story on the BBC news pages;unless you search the BBC news site using ‘muslim alcohol’ and you get this obscure page which has a link to the Scottish Sun and refers only to ‘girl gang…’Pretty much convincing evidence of bias.The BBC don’t even see fit to report the story. A mere link to … Continue reading

Question Time LiveBlog 8th December 2011

Question Time tonight comes from Stoke-On-Trent. On the panel Conservative PPS to the Defence Secretary Claire Perry, Labour MP Tristram Hunt, black part-time judge Constance Briscoe, Chief Executive of Next Lord Simon Wolfson (who takes the Conservative whip) and nutty race-baiter Mehdi Hasan. It’s been a long time since the panel has been so spectacularly unspectacular. Honestly, you wouldn’t recognise a single one of them if they stood next to … Continue reading
