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 →

THE 2 MINUTE HATE

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 →

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.
