Talk about a sympathetic hearing. You should listen to Sarah Montague’s 8.30am interview with Ali Soufan, “the FBI’s former chief interrogator in the Middle East” who has published what the BBC chooses to call “the fullest inside account to date of the US response to Al-Qaeda” In his book Black Banners, he alleges that the US government lied about how information was gained through torture and describes the tension between the … Continue reading
Given how porous our borders are, you have to admire the bare-faced cheek of fake Children’s Charity. They were on the BBC this morning to bitch about Government daring to stop and detain children at airports and ports. Spokesman Enver Solomon demonstrates a lamentable lack of wisdom although as ever it is only his point of view that we hear. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
So, when was the best time to be alive? One might suggest before BBC. (Very common era). I had a chuckle to myself at an item Today ran this morning at 8.20am. Two historians gave their views on when they would have liked to be alive. Kate Williams chose the era of Ancient Egypt because back then, women were treated as equals. Montague inquired as to whether this was the … Continue reading
Katty Kay thinks these people are nice, filled with a sense of civic duty and lawfulness. Her colleagues want you to believe this is all about lax banking regulations and corporate welfare. Last time I checked, that didn’t cause people to say “F#@k” an entire country. At BBC News Online, they see such a strong parallel between this and the Tea Party movement (is it because they’re mostly hideously white? … Continue reading
So, who would have figured that two days after his resignation, the BBC still considers Liam Fox and his associate Adam Werritty to be the lead story for their news portal. Why it’s almost as if the BBC enthused by getting the scalp of the former Defence Secretary, just want to facilitate Labour and keep the story running.

As the anarcho-communist anti-Semitic street rabble infest our financial centres, you can rely on the BBC to cheer-lead for them. Here’s Paul Mason giving them a shout-out.. “Occupy Everywhere, then, is the kind of movement you get when people start to believe mainstream politicians have lost their principles, or are trapped by vested interests, or are all crooked.” Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I’m bored with writing about the BBC’s bias about climate change. Nothing changes. But I could not let the latest Richard Black homily pass. Here it is – an unbridled, no-praise-too-small homage to the nice, cuddly eco-warrior activists at Greenpeace. Single-handedly, according to Mr Black, these heroes have saved the whales, stopped the pollution of rivers and halted deforestation, though the nasty Indonsesian president is daring to try get in … Continue reading
Friday arrives and so does THIS new Open Thread. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Gavin Esler’s Dateline continues to regularly serve up panels where all four guests come from the Left. Today’s cast list was: – Abdel Bari Atwan, ‘al-Quds al-Arabi’ (the programme’s most regular guest)– Agnes Poirier, of the left-wing french magazine ‘Marianne’ (and a very regular columnist for the ‘Guardian’, which Esler opted not to mention)– Yasmin Alibhai Brown, the ‘Independent’– Dr Vincent Magombe, Africa Inform International As a result, viewers got … Continue reading
Yes, I know, Katty was talking about the Occupiers in New York, but her report was meant to give you the idea that they’re all mostly nice, civic-minded, and righteous. Mark Mardell is still convinced that the Tea Party movement is driven by crypto-racism. So by his logic, we can use the following to state unequivocally that the Occupier movement is driven by anti-Semitism. Check it out, and wake me … Continue reading
