It’s been interesting observing the BBC coverage of the overnight firebombing of the offices of French satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo”. The offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo have been destroyed by a petrol bomb, French police say. It comes a day after the publication named the Prophet Muhammad as its “editor-in-chief” for its next issue.Its cover carried a caricature of the Prophet making a facetious comment. The magazine … Continue reading
The BBC is a strange creature. It is profoundly anti-Christian, in my view, and as detailed in these pages over the years, but yet it has a certain fondness for the Anglican Church just so long as that institution careens off in a nihilistic leftist direction. It has been fawning in covering the commentary by well known economist Rowan Williams in the FT this morning in which he backs the … Continue reading

…for they shall be granted a BBC interview. With the anarcho-communist rabble polluting the space outside St. Paul’s being asked to move on, the BBC needs to try and shore up support for these noble protesters. So, at 7.51am, the BBC wheeled on two London based Church of England clerics who performed as required. They expressed the required admiration for the bravery and courage of Swampy and his pals and … Continue reading
You would need a heart of stone not to laugh at the BBC’s horrified reaction to Greek PM Papandreo’s decision to hold a referendum on the alleged “austerity measures.” Could it be that even Greece has no confidence in the EU? Heaven forbid. Anyway, the BBC wheeled on Vicky Pryce, former head of the government’s economic service, to tell us that the Greek people were “suffering terribly” because of the horrendous … Continue reading
I’m not sure if anyone else was listening to the Today programme this morning but there was a remarkably cheap little attack on GOP Presidential potential candidate, Herman Cain around 7.23am. For some reason it’s not referenced in the running order so I cannot link it for you but it consisted of a short introduction to Mr Cain who was quickly described as “facing sexual harassment charges” (Were he a … Continue reading

When Melanie Phillips details a specific instance of biased BBC reporting, there’s nothing more to add than to direct B-BBC readers straight there, and to the follow-up piece. Denis MacEoin is well-known for writing letters defending Israel against defamation, and his letter to the BBC and the reply he received from Tarik Kafala the BBC’s online editor are just worth an extra mention here.Dr. MacEoin wrote to the BBC to … Continue reading
