It turns out that the Television Trust for the Environment – the BBC greenie programmes supplier whose problems I noted here – derives half its income, more than £500k, from the EU, and effectively gives its programmes away; last year it made less than £50,000 from sales. In effect, therefore, it is a propaganda arm of the EU. Not without coincidence, I suspect, its website was mysteriously taken down on … Continue reading
As I pointed out in the comments yesterday, the BBC’s Matt Danzico has been touting for book donations for a new Occupy Wall Street library organised by his sister Liz (aka “bobulate”): (Liz sounds like she could be one of Occupy’s Uptown crowd.) Even *ahem* impartial BBC journalists such as Matt Danzico might think twice about giving stuff to OWS when they hear of the money swilling around the place. … Continue reading

BBC keen to push the socialist wing of the Anglican Church here with NO counter voice being given. Any chance to portray the Coalition as being unreasonable is given the full treatment with any idea of balance thrown out the window. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Thanks to B-BBC contributor Graeme Thompson aka Hippiepooter for this item; My jaw dropped listening to Danny Shaw on 5Live Breakfast this morning. He was reporting on a Guardian story concerning the IPPC investigation into the police shooting of the gangster Mark Duggan. On the basis of partial evidence leaked from the IPPC investigation, The Guardian drew the firm and incendiary conclusion that Mark Duggan was unarmed when Police opened … Continue reading
As deegee has been pointing out, if Barack Obama got it wrong by saying that Hawaii is in Asia, then the BBC News website has gone one better than the president on the ‘gaffe’ front. It now seems to think that both Australia and New Zealand are in Asia: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15768698 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15732012 The BBC’s World menu changed recently. The old Australasia/Pacific section has gone: Africa Asia Europe Latin America Middle East … Continue reading
There’s an important investigation here by the Mail on Sunday of a grant to BBC environment “analyst” and greenie poster boy Roger Harrabin of £15,000 from the University of East Anglia’s climate centre, the outfit at the centre of Climategate. The cash, it is stated, was used to fund a range of climate change seminars. Mr Harrabin denies, of course, that the money has influenced his reporting…and the BBC itself … Continue reading
Everyone here is by now well aware of the Solyndra scandal, where the deadly combination of campaign cash influence and the Warmist ideology of Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, led the White House to give over half a billion dollars to a solar energy company, owned by a top Democrat money man, which they knew was going to fail. Several people (DB, John Anderson, and Cassandara King, to name a … Continue reading
Some interesting thoughts from a Biased BBC reader North of the border; “You may be interested to note that BBC Scotland has virtually shut down on all comment facilities on their ‘news’ threads. Blether with Brian has pulled its comment section because the punters were not buying the pro-Labour spin being generated by the Tangerine Jelly as he is known to us Scots. BBC Scotland in conjunction with Ian Gray … Continue reading
