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
Richard Black is getting pretty desperate. The reality is that nothing but hot air is emerging from the Durban climate boondoggle – showing maybe (though I am not so sure as Richard North) that the alarmist propaganda camapign is a busted flush – so overnight, he’s posted a crassly-manufactured story in an effort to give fresh momentum to his scare campaign. He tells us with wearisome predictability that “the science” … Continue reading
Anyone catch “CountryFile” this evening. John Craven was doing his best to demonise the Fracking process for making the most of Shale Gas. It says something of the note struck that when that swivel eyed eco-loon Chris Huhne is interviewed he comes across as a bit of a hardliner on the topic! Craven talked of flames coming out of taps, of earthquakes, all that was missing was the 4th horseman … Continue reading
