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 →

Interesting catch from a Biased BBC reader here;“Piece on 5Live today about the Hight Speed Train line to Manchester. We were treated to the views of a ‘businesswoman’ from Manchester who told us how vital the new line would be for her.

I seem to have missed the announcement that Keith Vaz is back in the government. You too? The reason I assume Keith is back in Government  is that the BBC couldn’t get enough from him. During the TI frenzy over the past few weeks Keith was one of the go-to guys and let’s face it, who can speak about integrity with more gravitas and experience than Vaz? Today he was … Continue reading →

A frustrated B-BBC reader writes; “Is the BBC making no mention of some important protests by large numbers of people all round a country, proof of bias? 24 hours ago, Saturday evening, in Israel 150,000 people protested in at least five cities about the cost of living – food, housing, childcare, baby and child necessities and others. it’s a major happening in Israel, the PM cancelled a trip to Poland … Continue reading →
