Bias? What bias? “Clark “surprise” at May ignorance” They just can’t help it, can they? Brodie Clark is the hero de jour of the BBC, a battering ram they are using to try and claim May’s scalp. I don’t recall the same enthusiasm to undermine Home Secretary’s when Labour were in power, do you? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
The BBC will never report this, because their thought-leaders in the US media and Left-wing blogosphere won’t. 3 men claiming to be Occupy Portland protesters arrested in Marion County for possession of explosives Inside the car, the deputy also found a number of firecrackers and two commercially made mortars inside glass canning jars, designed to be fired into the area during professional pyrotechnic displays.

Many thanks to Clarence in the comments for steering us towards this fascinating article from Ian Burrell, media editor of the ‘Independent’: BBC ‘cheap programming’ scandal exposed “The BBC has owned up to a “nominal fee” programming scandal in which viewers of 15 editorial programmes were hoodwinked by “serious” conflicts of interest of programme makers and a failure to declare that documentaries had outside sponsors.

I invite you to listen to this debate on the BBC this morning on the issue of the UK Border Agency. Consider the way Alan Johnson gets to open the debate without any interruption from Naughtie.

If Richard Black is to be believed, he has a real world scoop; he’s got his eco zealot little mitts on a draft of the latest IPCC report several days before publication. Now in my journalist manual, that’s a hold the front page scoop if ever I saw one – especially as the BBC has been the main conduit of publicity for the IPCC’s faked exaggerations for more than a … Continue reading

The rumours sparked an internet campaign to stop any … Continue reading
I suggest you might give this interview concerning the Leveson Inquiry on Today a whirl if you get a moment. Contrast the treatment of Roy Greenslade with that of Trevor Kavanagh. I was pleased when Kavanagh actually kicked back at the tangled Webb but it is a scandal that an interviewer takes such a blatantly biased position in the first instance.
