This bothered me greatly earlier today. It concerns the whinging of a bunch of lefties who the BBC alleges have dealt the a blow to the government’s inquiry into allegations that British security services were complicit in torture and rendition. In the first instance I am enraged that the BBC goes with the meme that our security forces are supportive of torture but also listen to the contrasting treatment afforded Clare … Continue reading
The other morning, when the BBC was on strike and there was no Today, I watched instead a film about the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, on the channel known as ‘Yesterday.’The film began with the birth of Israel, and didn’t shy away from including Britain’s shameful cruelty and heartlessness in rigidly enforcing a cap on immigration by Jewish refugees to Palestine, even though they were known to have been fleeing … Continue reading
Here’s Richard Bacon introducing one of his guests this afternoon: “Doug Stanhope is here. Just a remarkable stand-up comic. If you haven’t seen him and want a flavour of what he’s like go to YouTube now and type “Doug Stanhope Sarah Palin” [laughs] and get back to me.” Bacon could have recommended any Stanhope routine, but it was the Palin one he wanted his listeners to hear. Here’s the meat … Continue reading
Over on Autonomous Mind, we have an excellent exposure of more bias by omission by the State Broadcaster. It concerns the Duncan Bannatyne story and the parts of it the BBC decided not to run!

The BBC is always keen enough to advance the Nanny State. Take this interview on the BBC earlier concerning the wheeze by Centre Forum think tank that the State should be providing lessons in how to be a good parent. This is quoted as being in order to help 16 year single mums who may not know how to behave responsibly. Here’s a thought. Maybe if the parents of 16 … Continue reading
You know, when you listen to this biased trash masquerading as Thought for the Day, it enrages you. The politicising is not very subtle! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Although we concern ourselves most frequently with BBC news, I though this was an interesting tour de force commentary from a B-BBC reader. “I’m concerned notso-much by the News Content (which, whilst biased, is probably the most obviousform of it and thus easiest to counteract) but by the infiltration of biaswithin Drama. For example, if “EastEnders” were an accurate representation of EastLondon (where I’ve lived previously), approximately 60%-80% of characters … Continue reading
Been busy hence lack of posts! Anyway, catch up time. First this…with regard to Cleveland Police Authority. “I wonder why the BBC neglects to mention the party affiliation of the Chairmanin its report here: Google the Councillor’s name and bingo!, the answer is clear.” Gotta love their guile.

We all know what happened yesterday in the United States Congress, and that the President signed a debt relief bill that nobody really likes. We all know how the BBC spun it, and they continue to spin it that way today. Mark Mardell, BBC North America editor and faithful White House nunzio to Britain, was beside himself with anger that his beloved Obamessiah was made to look bad in all … Continue reading
