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?

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

What an inspired appointment ! “The BBC is facing fresh concerns about political bias after appointing an outspoken left-winger as the editor of Question Time. The corporation yesterday announced that Glasgow-based Nicolai Gentchev has been handed the role after the previous editor quit over the decision to move the show to the Scottish city. But last night it emerged that the BBC employee had written a series of book reviews and articles … Continue reading

I came across this astonishing article by Benedict Brogan in the Telegraph newspaper today. As it had gone online yesterday I braced myself before checking out the expected tirade of hostile comments.
