Early this morning Jon Donnison said something which I’ll paraphrase: “Israel has investigated its own conduct over the Mavi Marmara and it’s about to publish its findings. If, as reports suggest, it exonerates itself, it will be regarded as a whitewash.” All day, BBC News 24 has featured the news about this investigation, taking care to emphasise the Turkish reaction.Luckily for me, Elder of Ziyon has already tackled the BBC’s … Continue reading

Well, another Sunday morning and the BBC advances its own hateful agenda. On Nicky Campbell’s “Big Question” we are asked; “Should Tony Blair be tried as a war criminal?” You know where the BBC answer will come from on that one! Then, we have, shockingly, the argument for child euthanasia “Does a child have the right to choose death” Finally, there is the seemingly innocuous “Is it always right to uphold your … Continue reading
I don’t know Danny Cohen, the new Controller of BBC1, but I suspect that with his archetypal Oxbridge swagger, his highly-contrived casual BBC-Armani style and £250K daylight robbery taxpayer stipend, he’s going to become more than a regular here. He fits the Sissons mould to a beyond-parody T, and at the same time today confirms that he is on a Marxist mission to ram his cod working class values down … Continue reading
These fill up quicker than I can post them – must be a lot of bias out there! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Keith Olbermann has left MSNBC. Richard and Rhod will be upset. Rumours (begun by me) that he has been offered a daily “Bash Palin” segment on Radio 4’s Today programme have yet to be confirmed or denied. UPDATE 7pm. Distraught fans of left-wing polemic declare their intentions: Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Peter Sissons has written a book about his time at the BBC. No surprises for readers of B-BBC, and my sources in the newsroom have been telling me these sort of anecdotes for 15 years or more. But finally, someone has broken ranks,and Mr Sissons conveys conviction. The BBC reaction, of course, will be wearyingly predictable; an embittered old man who has lost his marbles. The full article is here. … Continue reading
The BBC has been to the fore over many months to try and get the head of Andy Coulson – Cameron’s spinmeister. The Today programme has never missed the opportunity to sink the knife in. So I am sure there are celebrations at the Beeb that Coulson has resigned today. First Postman Pat (BBC meme – one of the good guys) and now Andy Coulson (BBC meme – forces of darkness) … Continue reading
I thought that this was a good catch by a B-BBC reader on one of our favourites, the pouting Barbara Plett. Visit Barbara Plett’s statement in the fifth paragraph here to the effect that Middle East peace talks ended with “Israel’s refusal to reinstate a partial moratorium on construction”. I thought that Netanyahu had offered a three month extension but that the Palestinians had pulled-out (in addition to refusing to … Continue reading
One of the joys of editing this blog is the frequent emails I receive from so many readers. I do try to respond to as many as possible although sometimes this can be tricky if I am away from BBBC central, as has been the case for most of this past week. Thank you all for the great and frequent contributions made publicly and sometimes privately. I wish I had … Continue reading
