Just to let y’all know that we will be launching a Biased BBC twitter feed from midnight. It’s a good way to feed in some of the many little instances of BBC bias that occur all the time. Hope you will like it – it’s not my personnel feed (DVATW) so trust the focus on the BBC will be welcomed! It’s also another way for us to spread the word … Continue reading
Question Time comes tonight from Basingstoke, which is twinned with Isengard and Mordor. Locally known as Gaysinblokes it is a marginally stylish buffer between the twin dumps of Southampton and Reading. It only features a swimming pool, two instantly forgettable colleges and a massive nightclub called Liquid which is populated by tattooed grannies dressed as 17-year olds.* On the panel tonight we have Dept of Work and Pensions Minister Chris Grayling, … Continue reading
Well, it’s a dramatic if not ruthless decision by the Murdoch empire to close The News of the World. In a sense one less trash newspaper is to welcomed, although it reduces competition and choice whilst ensuring that the leftist point of view increases, something I am certain the BBC will be delighted about. I’m just hoping that the disgraceful practice of phone hacking was restricted to NOTW and did … Continue reading
Autonomous Mind explains brilliantly why the closure of the News of the World is a triumph for the BBC-Guardian axis. Meanwhile Roger Harrabin continues to pump out greenie untruths which are making us all seriously poorer and show the power of the liberal-left media class. As usual, he ignores the real facts – a quarter of Brits live in fuel poverty as energy bills rocket. Click through to read and … Continue reading
Coincidence? Curious timing of this interview with the DG of the BBC….couldn’t be part of the BBC’s ongoingcampaign to pressure the government to kick the BSkyB deal into the long grasscould it? “The director general of the BBC speaks to Joan Bakewell in an exclusiveinterview with the New Statesman. ‘We’re talking about a concentration of media power in the UK that’s unheard ofin British history and unheard of anywhere else in … Continue reading
As always with the BBC, it is as much what they DON’T talk about as what they do select to cover. Just consider these wheeels within wheels, all ignored by the BBC;“The BBC crows aboutMiliband criticising Cameron for employing Andy Coulson as his media advisorbut says nothing about Labour’s own Murdoch man, Tom Baldwin. In its report of his appointment as Milibands advisor the BBC limits its reporton Baldwin to this … Continue reading
I see that Hugh Grant will be offering us his wisdom on Question Time this evening. I forecast pious cant on a grand scale. Here’s a little perspective on lovable Hugh; He was on with Victoria Derbyshire yesterday and his appearance generated this feedback from a B-BBC reader; “This is a man who’bought’ a women for sex…..prostitution, pimps, sex slaves, humantrafficking, all words that come to mind….and yet he calls … Continue reading
Well, the sun rises on a new day and the BBC continues to attack on The Sun’s proprietor, Mr Murdoch. Yesterday Millie Driver provided the emotional attack line, today it is the families of our Armed Forces personnel killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan. BBC is in overdrive on this one and the aim seems to be to stop the acquisition of BskyB by Newscorp. The morally virtuous Labour … Continue reading
Ah, the delight of that little watched late evening programme “Newsnight”. It’s a full on attack on the evil Murdoch Empire with intellectual heavyweights such as John Prescott weighing in. Also gushing praise for the rather odd Ed Miliband and smug smiles all round as the BBC congratulates itself for having such high ethical standards. The mask has dropped this past 24 hours and the BBC hatred on Murdoch shines … Continue reading
It seems like a good moment to update David’s excellent post below about the ongoing voicemail hacking change my password? Meh, why bother? nonsense in the news at the moment. Compare and contrast what the BBC sees as a priority – indeed the Top News Story: …and what the Great British Public are reading about (under threat of imprisonment for non-payment) The BBC want to use this story to discredit … Continue reading
