Another BBC reader observes; “Friday 19 August (I think). Jonathan Dimbleby at his worst and most transparent. He gave Harriet Harman a free run with little or no interruption on the riots etc. He then acted as agent provocateur by inviting her to blame the cuts and she got another full go without interruption. Baroness Warsi was then interrupted as usual, something both the Dumbellboys feel free to do, presumably … Continue reading
Biased BBC reader “As I see it” has provided us with the following thoughtful analysis – give it a read! “It is my contention that there is a left-wing bias in the output of the BBC. I happen to have a group of friends with whom I meet at regular intervals for a particular leisure activity. (And no, it doesn’t involve either caravanning or dubious sexual practices in secluded … Continue reading
Biased BBC stalwart Graeme Thompson aka Hippiepooter writes; “I was alerted to this Evan Davis interview with the Prime Minister on the TODAY programme this Friday via the Daily Mail. PM ROWS WITH TODAY SHOW A swallow does not make a Summer, but it is a chink of light that Cameron got short with the partisan line Davis was taking. Davis was like a cocker spaniel trying to impersonate a rottweiler/fox cross, ungamely … Continue reading
A Biased BBC commentator asks; “Is Mark Mardell lying or just a very bad, ill informed journalist? In 2006 Mardell asked the same question about torture as he asks now. ‘I find it interesting that I can’t recall any allegation that the allies used, or discussed using torture during World War II, although there must have been occasions when it might have saved lives or even the liberty of states. … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader writes; ” I’ve just seen this ridiculously left-wing piece on the BBC News web site: “Karl Marx may have been wrong about communism but he was right about much of capitalism” “…more and more people are starting to think Karl Marx was right.” “Marx… was far more perceptive than most economists in his day and ours.”“As capitalism has advanced it has returned most people to a … Continue reading
I’m forever guarding the BBC’s output, day and night. I watch all channels simultaneously, whilst listening to radios one two three four five six and seven, and the BBC World Service. Only Joking. I’m bemused if anyone has that impression, and quite flattered. From the bits I do watch, I recognise many of the biases mentioned on this blog, but I find the anti Israel bias the most painful, and … Continue reading
This latest exercise in naked partisanship by Richard Black has already been noted by B-BBC readers, but I was away yesterday and could not let it go without further comment. What it shows is that Mr Black is now such a fanatical propagandist that he is avidly snapping up any chance he can to rubbish the views of those who dare to disagree with him. The reality of the “story” … Continue reading
As`part of the BBC’s sensational run-up to the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Mark Mardell speaks to a CIA officer about the use of torture, and whether or not it can ever be justified. The ideas discussed in the full piece may or may not be of interest to you. I don’t know, and frankly don’t care. What I want to draw your attention to is this statement by Mardell, with … Continue reading
I hope they warned Mark Regev that the focus of his interrogation had been altered at the last minute, from the original version on the Today website – “The “million people march” is due to take place tonight in Tel Aviv, protesting against the high cost of living and shortage of housing in Israel. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev looks at the state of Israel today” – to this updated … Continue reading
