BBC loving Her Majesty paying tribute to the “Fenian brotherhood” and the “old IRA” in Dublin. I find the BBC coverage nauseating and, of course, politically contrived. The BBC has been a long time cheer-leader for the appeasement process here and today is a culmination of that. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I want to mention Jeremy Bowen again, and the interviews with John Humphrys and Palestinian official Husam Zomlot and Mark Regev. While I’m at it I may as well bring in Mark Mardell’s BBC Obama fanzine blog too, for another example of the BBC’s approach. The comments illustrate my point. Go instead to Caroline Glick if you’re interested in Obama’s policy on Israel.The following is not verbatim, but a rough … Continue reading
And so a new week dawns and a whole new set of BBC bias needs examined. Here you go, the floor is yours, have you something to say? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
If there is one kind of Conservative that the BBC almost like, it’s the sort that are Conservative-in-name-only. Take Tim Yeo, please. This blustering buffoon was on the BBC this morning to discuss why some sort of subsidy for nuclear power was sadly inevitable. Naturally the BBC does not approve of any form of subsidy to this one form of clean energy whilst favouring as much as possible for windfarms … Continue reading
What better way to start the week on the BBC with another chance to discuss that hardy perrenial, should drugs be legalised? There’s a discussion at 8.33am based on a new report from the left-wing Demos propaganda unit. The essence of the debate is a remarkably mad idea- namely that local Councils and trading standard officers determine what is legal and what is not! You’d have to be ON drugs … Continue reading
Anyone catch Sheikh Jeremy al Bowen on Today this morning? With Palestinians exercising their right to return to violence at any available opportunity. Bowen was quick to declare this is all part of the “Arab Spring” and that the US would have to “do something” about Israel. The BBC’s treatment of Israel is beyond deplorable and we have to wonder WHY it is that the State Broadcaster does everything possible … Continue reading
I can remember vividly Britain’s last major sustained power cuts back in the 1970s, the consequence of maniac Ted Heath’s ham-fisted attempt to take on the all-powerful National Union of Mineworkers under the wily Joe Gormley. The three-day week created untold misery and inconvenience. Stumbling about by candlelight reinforced forever for me the benefits of modern technology. Today, our lunatic government seems totally determined to pursue “low carbon” policies that … Continue reading
11:53 am. Driver in Tel Aviv Truck Rampage shouted “Death to Jews”Israeli forces ‘fire on Palestinians’ near Gaza border * One of these stories is not reported by your BBC. A large red banner proclaiming ‘Breaking News’ adorns the BBC Middle East page. This advertises the latter story, whereas at the time of writing there is nothing at all about the former. So. The BBC was interested in Israel’s reaction … Continue reading
It’s one of Nicky Campbell’s “Big Questions” this morning. On the panel to help us understand this is BBC favourite Salam Yaqoob, leader of Respect. Might I suggest that the BBC re-phrase the question “Do Muslims have a problem with Britain”? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Chris Patten is now ensconced as BBC chairman, and – I know from sources – he has already shown that he will defend his new paymaster to the hilt, telling MPs at a briefing meeting on Thursday that he believes that the corporation’s EU coverage is perfectly balanced and does not need to change. Perhaps he should have read this before thus pontificating. The Tory MP Philip Davies, a member … Continue reading
