The BBC Is A Foreign Bureau Of The White House Press Office

We all knew this was coming, ever since former BBC North America editor Justin Webb fretted that the US was in denial of our massive debt and that we were veering dangerously off the cliff of default. Last we heard from his successor, Mark Mardell, the President was taking a $4 trillion “gamble”, which even the current BBC North America editor recognized was a partisan stance and an attempt to … Continue reading

On The Wrong Track

Jeremy Paxman’s behaviour on last night’s Newsnight was staggering. Perhaps his astonishingly aggressive demeanour was his way of bluffing the audience into thinking that social media gossip was a credible substitute for concrete evidence against the EDL. With continual interruptions, hectoring and and exaggerated facial expressions of disgust, he completely departed from interviewing and veered off unsteadily in the direction of attempted verbal assassination. I’m glad to announce that he … Continue reading

NORWEGIAN PHILOSOPHERS

Here’s an interesting catch from a Biased BBC reader. “An excerpt from BBC Radio 4 — ‘Norwegian philosopher Lars Gule believes he argued with Anders Breivik on an online forum, and he “did not stand out with a particularly aggressive or violent rhetoric… he was quite mainstream.” ‘”When it comes to opinions and statements, he was not alone… it shows some of the warped sense of reality that is operating,” … Continue reading

The poor BBC just cannot get their mind around the simple fact that Obama – the original man without a plan – is quite determined to push the US economy into default for petty political advantage. In the BBC meme, Obama is “the adult in the room” and those pesky … Continue reading

ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ORIGINAL SIN

A most peculiar Thought for the Day on the Today programme this morning from Rev Dr Giles Fraser which seems to suggest the seeking economic growth is akin to original sin! Then again maybe this is not that surprising given that Rev Giles is a regular contributor to The Guardian and the Socialist Worker. (oh and a tireless crusader for gay and lesbian rights – just the sort of chap … Continue reading

HALF THE STORY, ALL THE TIME

Wonder if the BBC will pick up on this up from its ex employee Andrew Gilligan? A lobby group, Sovereign Strategy, with close ties to Labour, has been secretly backing the ‘Hacked Off’ campaign. Gosh, what a scandal. Also the charity ‘Common Purpose’ has a man on the inquiry board into hacking: Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
