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.

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
The BBC is cunning. During the past week as it became clear that Chris Patten was destined to become next Chairman of the BBC Trust the BBC propaganda line has been to suggest he is some sort of far right capitalist loving Tory who might smash them! As Neil Hamilton puts it… “THE BIGGEST joke of the week was the BBC cowering in terror at the prospect of Lord Patten … Continue reading
Anyone catch Alex “the precepts of Scottish justice” Salmond on the Marr show? He was allowed to weasel his way out of the Al Megrahi issue simply by repeating “precepts of Scottish justice” to a simpering Marr. He was also allowed to get away with his wild claims about “free” Education for Scottish students without any budget implications. Quite simply, Salmond comes on and lies through his teeth and Marr … Continue reading

John Horne Tooke posed an interesting – if idealistic – question in his comment on my posting yesterday about Richard Black’s slavish continued reporting of climate change sensationalism. He pondered: If only the BBC would employ people with enquiring minds, people who want to search for the truth, then they may be worth the licence fee. Evidence that it won’t actually came my way when I was sent a copy … Continue reading
