It’s pretty sad when the Muslim Brotherhood’s Ikhwanweb is more informative and balanced than the BBC. Compare and contrast: Fire and graffiti attack on Palestinian mosque in Kasra with Settlers torch mosque in Al-Mughayyir village near Ramallah Both pieces talk about how this was a (misguided and wrong, in my view) retaliation for the Israeli Government’s razing of some illegal Jewish settlements in the area. The BBC reports that the … Continue reading →

Another depth plumbed by BBC science reporting. A warmist fanatic – in this case Alun Hubbard, a glaciologist whose self-declared mission is to confirm his fanaticism – has now only to say that he’s “gob-smacked” about the extent of ice loss for it to make a website lead story. Never mind that there is huge controversy about the causes of glacier melt in Greenland, and never mind that many experts … Continue reading →

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.

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 →
