And so we wake up this morning to news that Osama bin Laden is dead. Countless trees will die as newspapers bring us details and analysis but the BBCs instant reaction has been interesting – especially as they’ve had 9 years, 7 months and 21 days to prepare. The BBC has a rolling obituary which better suits a head of state or great friend of the world which is…typical. Take … Continue reading
As usual on Thursday we’ll be bringing you the Question Time LiveChat session. But as it’s also Local Election results night we’re going to extend the chat to cover that as well. So we’ll start at 10:30pm as usual and finish up whenever the last wibbling drunk can’t type any longer. The AV Referendum count won’t be happening until the next day because they haven’t yet bought the voting machines … Continue reading
1ST May – be still my beating heart. Yes, it’s International Worker’s Day and I am sure our comrades in the BBC are celebrating. Want to share in their celebrations? Share it HERE… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Wanted to share this with you; “BBC has its ideal guests on this morning’s Saturday Live in the form of 1, Mark Thomas. http://www.markthomasinfo.com/ Introduced as an ‘activist’ who jettisoned Christianity for materialist atheism, he was brought onto the programme to puff his book ‘Extreme Rambling’ about his walk along the Israeli security fence (called the ‘Separation Barrier’, natch). The Guardian quote ‘From the Back Cover I expect that the … Continue reading
This brought to my attention;“The BBC excelled here onthe Today programme this morning bringing in a commentator that they must knowis a Hamas and Hizbollah apologist and champion of the Islamist cause. Alastair Crooke, the one time MI6 spymaster who converted to Islamism and isnow director of the pro-Hizbollah outfit called Conflicts Forum and who proudlyboasts that it is “Listening to political Islam, recognisingresistance….Conflicts Forum wants to challenge the prevailing … Continue reading
Rejoice – immigration is driving our economic growth. Or so it is alleged in this report on the ever reliable BBC. “Immigrants from eastern Europe have added almost £5bn to Britain’s economy since 2004, according to a new report. The National Institute for Economic and Social Research says 700,000 people moved to the UK after their former communist homelands joined the EU. It believes they drove up British GDP by 0.38% in … Continue reading
Strident eco-camapigner Sarah Mukherjee may have left the BBC, but Richard Black is carrying on her propaganda work, even over the holiday weekend. Here’s his latest offering – a largely uncritical re-cycling of a paper paid for by taxpayers’ money – that purports to show that 250 people living in the Himlayas somehow know the truth about global warming. I was taught years ago – during my training as a … Continue reading
I wish somebody else had written this because it’s about the usual, and believe me, I don’t want to be repetitive. But needs must. Anyone who heard R4’s Saturday Live this morning will know what I mean. The studio guest was ‘comedian’ Mark Thomas who has walked the length of the separation barrier in Israel /Palestine. Saturday Live’s genial host, exceedingly left wing Reverend Richard Coles, was all ears. Not … Continue reading
Bishop Hill has unearthed this gem, a presentation to the Cambridge Science and Policy Group by Sarah Mukherjee, the BBC’s former environment correspondent, who in her time at the corporation filed hundreds of alarmist, hell-in-a-handcart reports. Admittedly the delivery was some time ago, but her lecture is a major statement of the BBC’s green creed, and an insight into the madcap and deeply biased thought processes that are involved. It … Continue reading
A biased BBC reader notes; “Yep…just checked the BBC web site and there is no mention of the Muslim radical group ‘Muslims Against Crusades’ whom the BBC gave a platform to yesterday enabling them to promote their credibility on news reports throughout the day. No mention of the fact that they state that the Royal wedding is a legitimate terrorist target….BBC just states that the group says they have no … Continue reading
