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
Fascinating sleight of hand by the BBC here, picked up by an eagle eyed BBC contributor; “Whilst the BBC ignores a big story from Germany making serious criticisms of the legality of Europe’s bailout schemes the BBC are headlining a story from France that the ‘Rich’ are being taxed more to pay for the deficit….a whole 3% more. What the good old Beeb miss out is what the rate was … Continue reading
Some interesting comments here from Mark Thompson. “Mark Thompson, the director general of the BBC, went on the offensive against James Murdoch and other critics of the public broadcaster, effectively accusing News Corporation of lapses of integrity and warning that the collapse of the BSkyB takeover was not an excuse to start a debate about the scale and scope of the BBC. Writing in the Guardian, just ahead of the … Continue reading
The BBC seem a tad embarrassed by the news that South Africa – that wonderful rainbow nation – is refusing to accept a UN motion to unfreeze $1.5bn of Libyan assets to fund emergency humanitarian aid. I wonder why South Africa seems reluctant to help the Libyan Rebels? We may never know. Here’s Nelson “I shall therefore take the liberty to invite our guests to rise and raise their glasses … Continue reading
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
Here’s an interesting letter of complaint from one of our readers to the BBC; “Hello, like many of your readers/contributors, I listened to the surreal experience that was the Today programme last saturday (20.08.11) which studiously avoided any mention of fridays arrest of an officer involved in Operation Weeting. This prompted me to make a first time complaint to the bbc as follows. ‘Dear sirs, given the importance the BBC … Continue reading
Andrew has already mentioned this (Pg. 3 of the open thread @ 9:28pm GMT) list of White House attack points on Rick Perry posing as an editorial blog post by Mardell, but now there’s a nice BBC censorship angle to add, so worth a full post. The BBC US President editor wants you to know how to understand Rick Perry’s claims that his non-Left policies helped not only to keep … Continue reading
