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
I hope everyone enjoys this brief segment on Today with Evan Davis. He discusses the new report from the Social Market Foundation which is highly critical of the Department of Work and Pension’s Work Programme to get the long-term unemployed back to work. Now, normally I’d say that any organization which has “Social” anything in its title is Left-leaning. I’d also generally say that any organization which states that they … Continue reading
Enjoying the BBC’s world class coverage of Ghadaffi’s fall? Here’s a new Open Thread for you to start the week – let’s see how quickly we can get to the 100 comments mark! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Do you think the BBC thinks Labour is still in power? The reason I ask is this item it ran earlier today focusing on Tony Blair’s comments that “muddle headed analysis” (ie Conservative) of the riots could lead to wrong policy decisions. In a wonderful example of balance, the BBC invites Jack Straw and Tony McNultyon the programme to discuss. So two Labour politicians discussing the pearls of wisdom offered by … Continue reading
Another opportunity for the BBC to help bestow further sainthood on one of their favourites – Jew-bashing Ken Loach. This morning, Ken was afforded this bully pulpit on Today. It concerns a film he made back in 1969 (Nothing like up to date news for the BBC!) for Save The Children. Basically, they didn’t like what he did back then because it “exposed” how awfully racist they were, or so … Continue reading
The BBC trust’s propaganda campaign about climate change is taking shape. Alison Hastings, chair of the editorial standards committee, it will be recalled, has decreed – on the authority of IPCC diktats – that the views of dissenters will not be covered. Indoctrinated BBC acolyte Jennifer Carpenter is hot on the case. She reports this preposterous paper about species “fleeing faster than previously thought” to the poles and up mountains … Continue reading
A news Correspondent from BBC’s One Show has been Tweeting. This person. ‘one_uk’ describes him/herself thus: “Research Correspondent from the One Show trying to present a better image of the UK. The frantic tweeting in question goes something like this: ”PLS RT Israel did to a 5-year-old Palestinian boy.He was killed a last night by Israeli air strikes.” If this photograph is genuine, and similar pictures have been known to … Continue reading
Here’s a jolly good analysis of a day in the life of the BBC from a regular B-BBC contributor; “Never ones to let an opportunity slip, at death o’clock this morning R4 gave us some thoughts from the BBC’s World Service (unavailable on listen again for some reason)…..Israel’s recent attacks on Gaza have made Hamas reconsider its two year cease fire and what its response will be to Israeli aggression. … Continue reading
Laughable set up discussion on Sunday Morning Live with gorgeous pouting Suzanne Reid. The first topic was the Human Rights Act and Cameron’s idea we need a British Human Rights Act. We had a feminazi Human Rights advocate on, some guy who kept insisting he was not “right wing” and also “not a tabloid reader” and John Gaunt. Some lady with a serious illness phoned in to say that the … Continue reading
