Another interesting insight into the biased mind of the BBC here. Justin Webb evidently has a problem with “Big Pharma” in true comradely fashion so when some of the world’s major producers of important drugs announce plans to supply at cost an anti-diarrhoea drug for African children, he is immediately suspicious and accuses them of seeking to curry our favour by “taxing” the NHS more in order that this can … Continue reading
Lovely pouting Sarah Montague doesn’t care much for George Osborne. If you listen to this interview the tone in her voice towards him is positively glacial. It all concerns a concerted leftwing attack on the Coalition’s economic policies and naturally the BBC has been to the fore in promoting their sub-Keynesian nonsense. As the prelude to the interview with Osborne, the BBC rows in with “an increasing number of economists … Continue reading
Watching the BBC report on the bad and evil Israelis “opening fire” on harmless liberty loving and defenceless “Pro-Palestinian” demonstrators in Syria i.e Boy Bashar’s unofficial attention diverting stormtroopers. This is a nice little hit and run job on Israel and Syrian State TV is such a reliable soure. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Sandy Toksvig, presenter of Radio 4’s so-called News Quiz – actually a propaganda fest for the presenter’s and panellists’ liberal prejudices – summarises all that I loathe about the BBC. She’s a lefty, smug, holier-than-thou, no-talent performer who thinks she’s very funny. Despite this, she’s carved out a career at the corporation and she is evidently adored by her bosses. Miss Toksvig clearly thought it was hilarious in an edition … Continue reading
The BBC – in its venomous hatred of fossil fuels – was very quick this week to link attempts to extract shale gas with earthquakes and to emphasise the danger that such efforts would alarmingly cause tap water to ignite because aquifers could become impregnated with methane. Dramatic pictures of these flaming taps (from a US propaganda film, it now transpires, although this was not made clear in the bulletins) … Continue reading
I was having a look at Katty Kay’s Twitter page, wondering if she had said anything about Sarah Palin lately. Not only is Palin on tour (as we know from Mark Mardell’s sneering the other day), but she said something yesterday about Paul Revere which raised a few eyebrows. It turns out Palin was actually correct and, as usual, a few Leftoid media dopes made fools of themselves laughing at … Continue reading
Anyone catch this wonderful interview on the BBC this morning with Millie Tant and her feminist tendency? It concerns the opening of a Playboy club in London and all good feminists are up in arsm against this unspeakable evil. I bet that she was speaking on behalf of every good Beeboid although to be fair Michael Winder took the proverbial! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
For as many years as I can remember, the BBC has propagated the line that the State always knows what is best for us. This is particularly accentuated when the Government is Socialist but the BBC default line is that State knows best. So I was somewhat surprised to hear John Humphrys suggest during this interview that the State should keep its nose out of our business. The subject: The … Continue reading
When, why and how did the rot set in at the BBC? As an ex-employee who joined the corporation in 1978 when there were at least some news and programme editors who did not support left-wing lunacy, I have often pondered this point. But a penny dropped this morning when I read an excellent piece about the inestimable corrosive damage caused to Africa by Live Aid…which also has led inexorably … Continue reading
As the 2012 Presidential election gets underway (ugh, already?), it’s time for an update on what the Tea Party movement has been up to lately. The BBC has been utterly silent since begrudgingly admitting an influence on the 2010 mid-term results, so it’s well worth pointing out what they don’t think is newsworthy. First, here’s some news which dispels the BBC’s accusations that the Tea Party movement’s primary motivation is … Continue reading
