Is she a woman more spinned against than sinning? The BBC certainly has no interest in finding out. But why? “News International, parent company of the best-selling Sunday tabloid said that its chief executive Rebekah Brooks had her own voicemail hacked while she was editor of sister newspaper The Sun. “News International can confirm that Rebekah Brooks was recently shown documents by the police that proved she was a victim of … Continue reading
Wasn’t it an unwelcome surprise to see Gordon Brown return to the BBC after some of us had hoped that the electorate had driven a stake through his heart that would see him banished in perpetuity ? A Biased BBC reader informs “For two days the BBC treated us to Gordon Brown’s rants about the Sun reporting his son’s illness…reported as if every word revealed a sacred truth distilled from the … Continue reading
Andy Coulson may have authorised payments to police officers or the hacking of phones but he has not been charged or convicted yet….except in the BBC’s kangaroo court where verdict and sentence have already been pronounced and Cameron castigated for bad judgement by the BBC.The same BBC that, as has been noted before, has quite happily employed Alistair Campbell.The same BBC that we can see now trying to re-establish Labour’s … Continue reading
BBC coverage of Islam is done with such sensitivity, such consideration, one could almost be forgiven for thinking that the BBC is horrifically dhimmified. A Biased BBC reader notes; “BBC only show programmes that are sensitive to Muslim sensibilites……they must be horrifed that Islamically ‘insensitive’ programmes are being beamed into the heart of the Muslim world….by Muslim, Middle Eastern channels….sense the outrage. An article in the Times today (Saturday) reveals … Continue reading
BBC jihad against Murdoch continues in full voice this morning. “Sunday Morning” with sultry pouting Suzanne Reid posits “Is Rupert Murdoch’s empire responsible for corrupting Britain?. That followed Andrew Marr’s love in with Yvette Cooper as Murdoch was further demonised, along with the Police. And if you still haven’t got enough, Panorama has a one hour special coming tomorrow night on the fall of Murdoch. (Were Murdoch dead they would … Continue reading
Further to David Preiser’s post about the BBC’s use of an apocryphal quote in a far from subtle article on media barons, here’s one of the co-authors of that piece on Twitter yesterday: Last week the BBC ran another De Castella article in which he attacked the News of the World for daring to quote Orwell’s Decline of the English Murder in its final edition. And they have the nerve … Continue reading
Christine Rice on Woman”s Hour (mp3) Hat tip to Millie Tant in the comments for drawing our attention to Jenni Murray’s interview with mezzo-soprano Christine Rice on Thursday’s Woman’s Hour. At one point Dame Jenni asked Rice about her pre-singing career researching “global warming”, and I don’t think the response was quite what was expected. The singer recounted her disillusionment with the field of climate change studies, which she described … Continue reading
The BBC is determined not to let facts get in the way of a good story.http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b012fs6kA B-BBC reader writes; ‘You and yours’ Winfred Robinson talks to energy minister Greg Barker. Robinson is asking what Baker is going to do about fuel poverty in UK. Baker states that Labour did nothing to help those in fuel poverty and that thepoverty has doubled since 2005. Robinson says ‘it is absurd to blame Labour…it was fuel … Continue reading
It really IS unbelievable. I refer to the 24/7 hate shown by the BBC towards Murdoch. For those with a strong stomach why not give this a listen? Obviously John Humphyrs would like to see James Murdoch follow Rebekah Brooks and Les Hinton. Further, it is also evident the BBC would like to see Murdoch disinvest of his entire UK print operation. I then turned on BBC1 and who was being … Continue reading
Screengrab from the BBC’s US & Canada page: Pretty rich, huh? Here’s the report by Tom Brook. How very different to the BBC’s treatment of the Obama documentary We The People which even the Obama-friendly Washington Post described as a “stultifyingly naive, please-drink-a-little-more-Kool-Aid paean” and “a very long commercial for Obama”. The BBC didn’t assign a journalist to cast a critical eye over that film, chosing instead to broadcast it … Continue reading
