Had a good chuckle at Sunday Morning Live earlier today. The BBC provided lefty philosopher king Mehdi Hasan with a little film opportunity to put forth his view that the UK needs MORE rather than LESS immigration. Wonder why they chose not to run a viewers poll on that? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I love this one. According to BBC eco-warrior Matt McGrath, the number of mosquitoes is in sharp decline in parts of Africa because “climate change” has (without question) changed rainfall patterns and “disrupted” (poor darlings!) their breeding cycle. Could this be a cause for celebration – a positive outcome despite our wicked carbon dioxide emitting ways? Er, no. He’s dug out a quote from a gloom merchant who warns that … Continue reading
BBC News Online has a little piece entitled “US economy: What can be done to stimulate growth?” It’s actually not so bad, with two of the four economists interviewed taking positions which aren’t 100% in favor of more borrowing and spending. Although, there is an obvious bias on the part of the online editor who chose them. The first up, Robert di Clemente (a generally sharp guy) speaks more truth … Continue reading
Last night’s Any Questions panel spoke for multiculturalism, women, and the Arab Spring. The solitary male member, if you’ll excuse the expression, was Jehangir Malik OBE, UK Director of Islamic Relief, who was roped in to opine on behalf of the Arab World. The panellists still spoke elegiacally of the Arab Spring, which, for them still heralds the dawning of a new age of enlightenment. It’s just as if they’d … Continue reading

Mark Mardell, that pro-Obama shill operating Stateside is worth watching; A regular B-BBC contributor has held his latest pronouncements up to the light and this is what can be seen; “Catching up with Mardell and his up close and personal attack on Rick Perry: Mark Mardell is a slippery fellow…giving truth but missing out salient facts that would alter people’s perceptions of what he says: He lays into the Republican … Continue reading
There’s an article on Harry’s Place entitled “BBC and Guardian profile Latuff.” That’s Carlos Latuff the cartoonist. The cartoonist who has been working on behalf of those involved in the Arab Spring. Cartooning by demand so to speak. It must be his vivid interpretation of their passions rather than his drawing ability that makes him so popular with his fans. “The Guardian describes him as the “Voice of Tripoli” because … Continue reading
Middle of the week, I’m writing this from my bunker in an undisclosed location awaiting your observations on BBC bias… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
It’s the cringing selectivity of BBC news coverage that so enrages; Take this, sent in to me; “Democracy undermined, treaty violations…lack of democratic legitimacy…legally and politically questionable actions…..not a BBC journalist in sight when you need one….too busy investigating a self serving story on Murdoch that none of the public are interested in no doubt. “Germany fires cannon shot across Europe’s bows” German President Christian Wulff has accused the European … Continue reading
