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.

BBC meme is clear; Libya is the new Iraq and chaos will descend. I listened to Robert Fisk (Sigh – who else) being interviewed on local BBC news channel and he was given free rein to indulge his every hard left whimsy, with no challenge, Then this morning, the BBC has been talking to a Manchester doctor who is in Tripoli (Driven there by hateful Tory cuts?) and he was … Continue reading →
