A Biased BBC reader writes;“Palestinian writer Raja Shehadeh (natch, you know what’s coming) uses this platform affordedo him by the BBC on Radio 4’s Book of the Week slot to promote war, the Caliphate and death to Israel. It is written seductively in a quiet manner, poetic and lyrical…but listen to the words and there is no mistaking the intent…to incite the Arab world to attack Israel and to do away … Continue reading
I was pleased to see Green MP and BBC favourite Caroline “I am not of this world” Lucas on the BBC breakfast sofa this morning stoutly proclaiming that the UK has no need for nuclear power. Apparently better house insulation, wrapping up warm and having all those vital low carbon sources of energy will do the trick. Naturally the BBC interviewers felt no need to challenge her on any of … Continue reading
I invite you to read this piece from the BBC on the situation in a town in Nigeria. Is it just me or is there a hint of admiration for the Islamic killing gangs? Thoughts? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Listened to the BBC fronted jihad against Midsomer Murders co-creator Brian True-May. That will teach him not take ethno/gender/equality seriously – right? BBC doing all they best to ruin this man’s career because he dared set a successful fictional series in a traditional English village! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
The BBC have gone nuclear over…erm, the nuclear problems at Fukushima. Today has been busy constructing an agenda that the Japanese Government “lies” (according to Roger Harradin) and is “blase” (according to James Naughtie) about nuclear problems. Undoubtedly the crisis at Fukushima has gotten worse and that is fair comment but the BBC seems determined to extend this into some sort of general attack on nuclear energy. I have to … Continue reading
The President of the United States let slip a little revelation about Himself last week. I’ve been waiting for the BBC to say something, but there has been silence even on Twitter. Last Thursday, the New York Times published this: Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. As one official put it, “No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words … Continue reading
Classic morning for the UK loathing Conservative-hating Today programme, When they weren’t pushing the anti-Nuclear line, they were doing their best to help undermine Andrew Lansley here, Then they were suggesting British complicity in torture in Pakistan here. And, if that was not enough, they were pursuing the “lost generation” narrative here. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.

Hi folks and welcome to another week on Biased BBC. I’ve received emails from several of you wanting me to highlight what is perceived as the BBC using the Japanese disaster to advance their long standing opposition to Nuclear Power. A reader advises; “There was a great interview HERE with Ian Hor Lacy on March 12th edition of Weekend Breakfast on R5 where Rachel Burden’s exaggerated beliefs about the threat … Continue reading
Several B-BBC people have commented on the BBC’s bizarre take on the recent horrific murder of an Israeli couple and three of their children. Honest Reporting singles out the BBC’s version of the story as being particularly shocking and callous.Why would the BBC illustrate Saturday’s article with an IDF soldier?“Palestinian ‘kills five Israelis’ in West Bank.” What are the scare quotes for?“Kills five Israelis?” what, they didn’t “kill” them? There … Continue reading
