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
W. Joseph Campbell, proprietor of the Media Myth Alert blog has busted the BBC for the same kind of Narrative-supporting BS we often call them on. It’s worth featuring here.BBC calls Hearst vow apocryphal, quotes it anyway Apocryphal but still quotable. That’s how Britain’s venerable broadcaster, the BBC, treated the mythical anecdote about media titan William Randolph Hearst and his purported vow to “furnish the war” with Spain in the … Continue reading
Well, it’s been a mammoth week here on Biased BBC. We have done our best to flag up the outrageous bias shown by the State Broadcaster against NewsCorps this past week or so. This is not because I have any particular love for Murdoch and co (Admission – I DO like Fox News!) but I have a huge interest in ensuring choice and freedom when it comes to media access. The … Continue reading
ARGH! Another scalp for the vast left wing media cabal! Rebekah Brooks quits. Christmas comes early for the BBC. First NOTW. Now Brooks. Who next? I see Cameron meekly falls into line on this one presumably scared of the BBC/Guardian axis powers coming after him. (Which they will anyway) Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Had to laugh. Just went to the BBC Today site to try and link in a few items only to discover that it has not been updated owing to strike action by the comrades in the NUJ. Bliss. Of course that didn’t stop the Two Minute hate (now updated to 24/7) against Murdoch’s evil empire. There was, in passing, a swift mention of the Guardian apology with respect to Brown’s allegations … Continue reading
The choice of words used by the BBC in the heading is instructive; “Murdoch defends hacking handling”. Click through to the story and read about the audacity of Murdoch as he defends how his company has handled the charges leveled against it. None of this has any meaning to the BBC however since it has long since determined the guilt of all involved. Guity until proven innocent if one works … Continue reading
UPDATE: A stealth edit? The BBC article now includes MillerCoors’ statement that they filed the paperwork beforehand. They don’t tell quite the full story, but this more or less negates my claim. News Sniffer doesn’t have it yet, so I can’t prove anything as I didn’t take a screenshot. In case there are any lingering doubts, here’s more proof of the BBC’s bias and dishonesty when it comes to reporting … Continue reading
I would like to take this opportunity to invite any BBC staff who think we are unfair or plain wrong in our view of your employer to come along and express your opinions. You will receive a courteous and pleasant welcome from me. Biased BBC takes issue with much of the output the BBC produces and is unapologetic in flagging these concerns up. However we realise that there are many … Continue reading
The BBC keeps reporting on the debt and budget talks between the President and the Republicans in the House of Representatives. The latest report covers the announcement by Moody’s that they’re going to review the US credit rating with an eye to downgrade it to a default risk. My position is that the BBC has an ideological stance when it comes to government borrowing, spending, and debt. Stephanie Flanders has … Continue reading
As David pointed out earlier the BBC’s Jonny Dymond has been sounding out some of the usual suspects from the US liberal left over their reaction to the News of the World phone hacking affair. The top brass at the Beeb have obviously got the nod from their friends at the New York Times (“the Democratic Party at prayer”) that the Obama machine is very interested in the possibility of … Continue reading
