I am sure you can’t have failed to notice that Dame Elizabeth Hoodlass has been all over the BBC today (Radio and TV) criticising “the cuts”. The BBC forgot to mention that she is a long term Labour Party member, and activist, and has been a Labour councillor on Islington Borough Council. Not quite the independent voice that the BBC would like to infer.Happily Biased BBC readers are more informed … Continue reading
Hosni says “OK, I admit I am a dictator but I do admire the way the UK allows a broadcasting tyranny to provide daily news and comment. Any chance of a job later this year?” Open thread for a new week…off you go.. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
This was posted a few days ago by B-BBC commentator Too True. “What do I think of the BBC today? I detect a speck of light in the darkness of that foul, propagandist, news-laundering organisation: Just after 54 minutes into a 5 Live programme on anti-Semitism, we have this exchange: Nicky Campbell: Are you a Muslim Abdul? Abdul: Yes. Nicky Campbell: You are properly horrified when there are Islamophobics attacks because of the … Continue reading
Sometimes, when I hear Jeremy Al Bowen talking about “the Brotherhood” I wonder if he has in fact mistaken the Egypt based bunch of Jew-Hating Islamic supremacists for the Eurovision winning Brit group of the 1970’s? I listened aghast to an interview with Bowen on Today this morning (7.50am) with Bowen once again sanitising the Brotherhood to such a degree that one could hardly imagine any downside from such a … Continue reading
It’s remarkable just how intense, frequent and predictable BBC attacks on the Coalition have become. This morning on Today we had the accusation that the evil Tories were cutting off supply of funds to the “Charity” sector so undermining the Big Society. Then we had the accusation that the evil Tories were pushing funding to Free Schools rather than State Schools. It’s like listening to an extended Labour Party broadcast … Continue reading
Scratch the surface, and there lies yet another BBC climate change fanatic. They are everywhere; they are proliferating and they rule our lives. Yesterday, I reported that Roger Harrabin was off on a jolly to Norway to discuss how the media should be forced into reporting more climate change lies. One of his companions on the carbon dioxide guzzling fest will be Paddy Coulter, who is one of the three … Continue reading
Funny, isn’t it, that Roger Harrabin’s worries about climate change don’t preclude jet travel? And funny, too, that he mostly turns up to demonstrate his knowledge at climate events organised and run by warmist fanatics. Next Tuesday, he’s off to Carbonundrums (geddit? what a fabulous wheeze of a title) in Oslo with his chum Fiona Fox, she of the Science Media Centre, along with a chap called Paddy Coulter, who … Continue reading
The army of BBC reporters who’ve been plonked in Egypt have one thing in common – unalloyed joy at the people’s uprising.We’ve heard people say, ‘Mubarak may be a monster, but he’s our monster,’ or, ‘ Careful what you wish for – some Iraqis long for the stability of Sadaam’ – but what we mainly hear is wholehearted enthusiasm for the ‘deposing of the tyrant’. They approve of Ben Ali’s … Continue reading
Via Conservative Home, this story from The Times (£): “In an interview with The Times, Paul Maynard, the Conservative MP for Blackpool North & Cleveleys, described an incident in which some Labour MPs made faces, stretching their cheeks up and down as he spoke. It appeared to be an attempt to mimic him…” (See also Telegraph, Mail, Press Association) Whoever wrote the copy for the final newspaper review on this … Continue reading
