First things first. All decent people will be horrified at what has happened in Oslo last evening. The atrocious terrorist act is beyond words and the loss of so many lives devastating. And now I turn to the BBC coverage. Within hours of the breaking news the BBC was very quick to repeat comment that the culprit was a “tall blonde man” perspective, followed this morning by “fundamental Christian” and … Continue reading
The Steve Jones report, excellently analysed here by James Delingpole, is nothing more than a licence from the eco-loons who run the BBC to allow its reporters to continue their torrent of climate change lies. What’s happened is an immediate ratcheting up of the invective, and the unrestrained use of warmist so-called “consensus” to back it up. Here, for example, as a taster of what’s in store, Richard Black invokes … Continue reading

On Monday’s open thread (Pg. 9, comment @ 10:09:20pm GMT), I mentioned that there was a question about whether or not the President violated federal law by filming a political campaign ad in the White House. The Republican National Committee on Monday asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether the president’s reelection fundraising broke federal law. In a letter sent to Attorney General Eric Holder, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus … Continue reading
The BBC has done everything possible to relegate focus on the ongoing meltdown of their beloved eurozone but they are quick out of the traps this morning to join in the faux celebration now that the “leaders” have come up with a brand new package that solves all fiscal problems. I was entertained by this interview with Sir John Gieve, former deputy governor of the Bank of England, as he … Continue reading
Robert Peston and Nick Robinson have been central to the two week long prolonged BBC assault on the Murdoch empire. After the Murdochs and Brooks gave a reasonably credible account of themselves at the Commons Committee the other day, the BBC were not slow to dismiss this and instantly resumed the daily attack. Listen to Peston this morning go after James Murdoch – did he lie to the all-powerful committee, … Continue reading
Here’s Jonnie… The poor lad is a victim of the Murdoch spin machine, apparently. He’s on R5L tomorrow (Victoria Derbyshire’s show, he thinks). It’s a pre-recorded job – let’s them cut out any mention of Newsnight, presumably. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I wrote yesterday that the BBC Trustee’s report into science coverage is a travesty. It is worse. Professor Steve Jones says that too much space is given to climate “deniers”. Yet at least five years ago the BBC gave up all pretence at balance in climate reporting. It wrote: The BBC has held a high level seminar with some of the best scientific experts (on whose and what measurement) and … Continue reading

Here is an interesting question; “Does the BBC DG have knowledge of and take responsibility for the BBC journalist who has been barred from Parliament? ‘Gobby (Paul Lambert) has had his Pass withdrawn, reportedly for filming the aftermath of yesterday’s attack on Rupert Murdoch. The Rules of the House are simply that you must cut away from any disruption in the Chamber or Committees, and you may not film in … Continue reading
