PROTECTING SINGLE MUMS…

A Biased BBC obeserver notes the State Broadcaster rushing to defend the honour of single mums ‘stigmatised’ by Tory politicians as having caused the recent riots. Joint BBC/Guardian effort (as with Toynbee and her class war piece). http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b013y465 Colin Paterson talks to the singer Jamelia. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0140p9n/Jamelia_Shame_about_Single_Mums/ Jamelia presents a show on single mothers. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/aug/20/jamelia-single-parents Jamelia talks to the Guardian. Jamelia actually supports the notion of the ‘family’ but falls into … Continue reading

THAT NICKY CAMPBELL MOMENT

Here’s a retweet from the BBC’s Nicky Campbell. I wonder WHY the BBC stalwart would seek to retweet this particular essay on the Texas politician who may well become Obama’s opponent? A pre-emptive strike so early? Hat-tip to Biased BBC reader Keith!      @DailyHitchensTom Does Rick Perry believe his idiotic religious rhetoric, or is he just pandering for votes? By Christopher Hitchens.slate.me/pWwUTG 29 Aug via web Retweeted by NickyAACampbell and 30 others … Continue reading

Bill Nighy Plays Himself And Gives Those Evil Americans/Israelis One In The Eye..

Bill Nighy, wooden, crinkled and oozing bus pass angst, meets up with earnest young woman (Rachel Weisz, born 1970!). Nighy, as per usual, autocues his lines in a monotone to nobody in particular, is hardly ever out of his overcoat and sacrifices his career and pension to flag up the evil Americans. You’ve guessed it – “Page Eight” (BBC2 28/08/11) another glossy drama of beautiful people in NW1 (and weekend … Continue reading

LABOUR IN EVERY WAY

What’s remarkable about the BBC is the way in which their instinctive regard for Labour manifests itself even in the most innocent items. Take the item at 8.22am on how devolution has affected the UK. The BBC invite Peter Ackroyd on to discuss his latest history of England. Who then do they choose to balance the discussion? Yes, Labour MP Tristram Hunt who is also – lest we forget – … Continue reading

THE CLASS CEILING

I’m sure you will be tuning in to “Class Ceiling”…it’s on Radio 4 @ 9am. “Polly Toynbee explores the ever-more-pressing question of how possible it is to move up through British society. Who gets to break the ‘class ceiling’?” They DO love Polly, don’t they and who better to cover this “ever pressing” issue in an impartial and considered manner? Our money, spent wisely.

UNITED IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!

I listened to Jeremy Bowen being interviewed from his perch on Tripoli this morning on Today (8.10am). One of the issues being covered was what united the “rebels”. Jeremy came back with the official BBC meme that it is a shared hatred of Gadaffi that united them. But hang on a moment, there is something else that unites them – as evidenced here – but left curiously unreported by the … Continue reading

BBC- pro Israel all the way

I get an awful of of email to B-BBC and 99.9% of it is a  pleasure to read and I regularly post some of the numerous excellent observations. However every now and again I get mail from deep inside Arkham Asylum and here is one I am choosing to share with you whilst protecting the identity of the author. “Whatever you might say about the prehistoric crackpot Islamists it`s pretty … Continue reading

THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER…

“The BBC’s lack of self awareness, or its solid brass neck, is apparent in this piece about one of its new stars Professor Brian Cox…. ‘Prof Cox said the BBC had put science centre stage and had been rewarded with high ratings and huge interest. The Wonders of the Universe presenter said public service broadcasting had a “very important” role to play in changing the direction of society.” Fair enough … Continue reading

ISRAEL HEARTS TYRANTS

The BBC sustained hatred towards Israel is one of the most disfiguring facets of the DState Corporation. I am advised by a Biased BBC contributor that Jeremy Bowen is doing his best to discredit Israel as usual….Israelis have no interest in peace, Israelis want the Arab dictators to stay in power and don’t support democracy in the Arab world…..missing out the probability that democracy isn’t the likely outcome of the … Continue reading
