The BBC is always keen enough to advance the Nanny State. Take this interview on the BBC earlier concerning the wheeze by Centre Forum think tank that the State should be providing lessons in how to be a good parent. This is quoted as being in order to help 16 year single mums who may not know how to behave responsibly. Here’s a thought. Maybe if the parents of 16 … Continue reading
You know, when you listen to this biased trash masquerading as Thought for the Day, it enrages you. The politicising is not very subtle! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
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
Question; Does anyone have a source to back up the claim in this article in the Telegraph today that the BBC has 70% share of UK media output? Let me know please. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I was going to leave this alone today, but it’s just too egregious to resist. Check out the BBC’s Q&A page for the debt crisis. We’ll just go Q by Q, as it were. What is the proposed deal? Under the the agreement, the US deficit will be reduced by at least $2.4tn over 10 years. The ceiling for US borrowing will be raised by about the same amount in … Continue reading
The great thing about the BBC is that provides all shades of opinion…..get this catch from an eagle eyed reader! “America is apparently on the brink of economic armageddon and about to bring the next apocalypse upon us and the BBC brings on an actor to tell us all about it and how it could be solved. Weekend Breakfast on 5Live at 2 hrs 20 mins, tells us that everybody … 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. This woman turned out to be Cat Lewis, producer and film maker….who makes films for the BBC. Isn’t Salford, where the BBC’s new media centre going to be, … Continue reading
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
