More digging…it turns out that the outfit that was hired by the BBC trustees to monitor BBC output in connection with the Steve Jones whitewash report on science coverage was the Imperial College Science Communications Group (SCG). Surprise, surprise, they are active in promoting climate change communications. And you can read SCG report co-writer Alice R.Bell’s guide to indoctrinating children about climate change on her blog, here. It seems that … Continue reading

Give yourself a laugh and listen to this classic piece of environmental lobbyism masquerading as a news story on the BBC this morning. Also, listen in to Thought for the Day for another dose of climate change drivel. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
There was an interesting story on the news this morning about the best way to diagnose people to see if they suffer from high blood pressure. A quarter of patients may find visiting a GP stressful, leading to misdiagnosis and being given drugs they do not need.Patients in England and Wales will be offered extra checks using a mobile device that records blood pressure over 24 hours, says the watchdog … Continue reading
We are not the only people who see the bias that so characterises the BBC output. Take the recent Radio 4 programme “The Reunion”. A B-BBC contributor notes… “I didn’t listen to this programme because you can only take so much…and you know exactly the direction these fellow travellers will take when discussing Communism….lucky for me Charles Moore has done the hard work and has put the BBC well and truly … Continue reading
Of course it is not just Evan Davies who has interests that are not immediately obvious; A Biased BBC contributor notes… “Reference Evan Davis and his membership of the SMF board….John Humphrys is a shareholder in ‘YouGov’ the polling company. Any conflict of interest there when the BBC is telling us Labour is surging in the polls according to YouGov perhaps? ‘Humphrys, who has worked on programmes such as ‘Panorama’, … Continue reading
There was a particularly nasty little item HERE on Today this morning. It’s yet another BBC led attack on Murdoch, this time bringing in Chris Mullins and Sheila Gunn – John Major’s former press secretary. Gunn, in particular, used the opportunity to have a go at those bad “right-wingers” and “little Englanders”who gave nice Mr Major such a hard time over Europe. It’s obvious that the BBC has determined that … Continue reading
I’m head down at the moment helping to write a long paper on BBC bias that I hope will appear in print in due course. I missed – Autonomous Mind and Harmless Sky didn’t – that the BBC trustees had issued a grovelling retraction about the Steve Jones paper that is being used by the corporation to support its climate change activism. In a nutshell the public school hating Professor … Continue reading
A couple days ago, BBC Washington correspondent and anchor of what’s left of BBC World News America, Katty Kay participated in a panel discussion on Chris “Thrill Up My Leg” Matthews’ show on MSNBC. Unlike the BBC, MSNBC has no Charter & Agreement requiring them to provide balance and remain impartial, and the panel is even more weighted to the Left: John Heilmann from New York Magazine, Katty, Helene Cooper … Continue reading
A B-BBC reader observes of BBC Countryfile 21/08/2011; “Last evening they did a piece (John Craven) on food waste, and it’s costs. The one scandalous item of waste that never got any mention at all was the EU Fisheries Policy, you know the one where should you catch the “wrong” type of fish you have to throw it back (dead of course) or risk draconian punishments. Funnily enough the policy … Continue reading
