As you were. Just the BBC screaming more stuff about … Continue reading
John Humphrys has noticed Luton.Find your extremes, place them next to each other, light the blue touch paper, stand back and wait for sparks to fly. That’s what the BBC normally does these days, to satisfy an audience that only requires spectacle. Ratings, and so on. In those terms Luton, Tommy Robinson and Farasat Latif turned out to be a damp squib. There wasn’t even enough friction to generate a … Continue reading
Another classic attack piece on the GOP by the BBC. First, look at the masthead quote from the BBC’s Alistair Leithead.“The biggest applause was when the number of people executed in Texas was read about” Just setting the scene, right, what with all those bloodthirsty Texans. (BTW, I heard a rumour that those executed were convicted murderers but I guess that is just an insignificant detai in BBC land) Leitherd then talks about … Continue reading
BBC bias was on wonderful display this morning in this CRINGING interview with Ed Balls. Listen to Stephanie “Two Eds” Flanders set up Naughtie’s sycophantic interview with her former boyfriend by suggesting that the “arguments on the state of the global economy are running his way.” Really? I missed that but then again Stephanie has a very unique insight into Balls. On the economic substance of the matter, Balls is … Continue reading
What did we do to deserve the Cameron government? Autonomous Mind explains the supine sell-out over the EU here. And now the so-called culture minister tells us that the BBC is the “best broadcaster in the world” in response to some genuinely probing questions from a backbencher who is at least partly aware. On which planet does Ed Vaizey live? He seemed reassured, too, that Lord Patten is to hold … Continue reading
Middle of the Week and time for a new Open Thread to share your thoughts on Big Brother… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
As we run up to the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the BBC delights in this sort of item; “Demonising Muslim organisations which have been key to reducing Al Qaeda’s recruitment and influence in Britain has resulted in a counter-terrorism policy that is “damaging, dangerous and demeaning”. Yes, up pops Uncle Bob Lambert, the former head of the Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism unit that took charge of relations with Muslims, to tell … Continue reading
I noticed that BBC favourite Justin Forsyth from the fake charity Save the Children was allowed a platform on the BBC this morning to put forward his curious views that there are 1.6m children in the UK living in “poverty” (No there is not; He was using the contrived left wing formula of relative poverty which is never corrected by the BBC since it too uses the same biased euphemism) Justin … Continue reading
A Biased BBC contributor writes; “Michael Buerk in a trailer for the ‘Moral Maze’ commented upon the dangers of broadcasting live…’unusual and dangerous…you cannot tailor it or shape it or sanitise it…’ Unfortunately this is precisely what we get with most BBC programmes, tailored to suit an agenda, shaped to shape your ideas, sanitised to remove difficult and contrary questions. Eliza Manningham Buller, ex spook, in her first Reith Lecture … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader notes; “Has anyone noticed the following on the BBC website – it is linked to from the homepage: http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20110829-shopping-and-noshing-through-the-holy-land It refers to certain cities as being in Palestine – which does not currently exist. Even for supporter of the Two State solution, surely this is erroneous? Perhaps the areas could be called “occupied” or “disputed” territories in the article. Even the British government does not currently … Continue reading
