I see that the BBC has given Ken Clarke’s broadside to Cameron “not to seek to repatriate powers from the EU” great prominence this morning. They love Clarke, and Heseltine, and indeed all those other dripping wet C.I.N.O.’s who exist to perpetuate the gospel of the European Union uber alles.As the UK’s relationship with the EU is put under the microscope, the BBC seems determined to isolate the very notion … Continue reading
Have you been following the BBC’s coverage this morning of the the National Centre for Social Research’s 28th annual British Social Attitudes report? They appear outraged that… “Britons are less willing than ever to pay higher taxes to support the National Health Service, schools or the environment, a new survey suggests. The National Centre for Social Research’s 28th annual British Social Attitudes report also found increasing numbers blaming poverty on “laziness”. The BBC’s … Continue reading
Former BBC science reporter David Whitehouse explains with masterful precision here why BBC science journalism has turned into sychophantic political drivel. Basically, Mr Whitehouse says that the corporation should be challenging eveything it hears from scientists; instead it is recycling their words as if they were gospel. To me, the most telling blow is when he compares science reporting now to how political reporting used to be in the 1950s … Continue reading
I had to pick myself up off the floor just now. The BBC has actually reported a gaffe by The Obamessiah. It’s another geography error. He was in Kansas, but told the crowd it was great to be back in Texas. Complete with video. Of course, the BBC only reported it because He immediately corrected Himself. So it’s hardly even a mistake, right? Safe to report. Unlike when He said … Continue reading

Douglas Carswell also gets the hectoring treatment this morning when he has the temerity to suggest that the British people must get to have a say on future EU treaty arrangements. Contrast the interruptions that characterise the Carswell interview with the studied silence that accompanies the evasive waffle from the foaming at the mouth Europhile Simon Hughes. That said, Carswell does his best although if you notice, Hughes actually gets … Continue reading
Here’s a classic clip from BBC Today this morning with Evan Davies showing his OUTRAGE that someone might suggest that a LABOUR party appointed panel to review future UK policing needs may be somewhat unbalanced. Poor old Blair Gibbs of the “right leaning” Policy Exchange think tank is constantly interrupted, laughed at and contradicted because he has the temerity to suggest that Labour is biased in terms of how it … Continue reading
As John Anderson has already pointed out in comments, Christopher Booker has written a report for the Global Warming Policy Foundation about the BBC’s reporting of climate change and it’s due out tomorrow. Not sure what he will reveal that has not already been reported here or on other blogs like Bishop Hill or Harmless Sky – but Booker is always sharp and to the point and I’m looking forward … Continue reading
Monday morning and I’m back after a short break. George awaits your comments on the all pervasive bias of the State Broadcaster…. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Did you read this BBC report on a new study by the London School of Economics and the Guardian newspaper (Naturally) which places “anti-police anger” as a key factor in the summer riots. Of those interviewed, 85% cited anger at policing practices as a key factor in why the violence happened. I see. Or, to put it another way, the police are to blame. How dare they try to uphold the rule … Continue reading
