Great to see these filling up SO quickly, here’s another one…BBC bias, surely not? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Another malevolent aspect of the BBC is what I call the ratchet effect. In essence, the BBC uses its media bully pulpit to force political debate ever leftwards. There’s a good example of this on Today this morning in the prime time 8.10am slot. The issue being discussed is the proposal by government to introduce minimum prices for alcohol in England and Wales. Now those of us who are more … Continue reading
It’s NOT that I care much for British Foreign Secretary William Hague. His anti-Israeli comments combined with his weasel words about British sovereignty in the EU leave me cold but I did feel a bit sorry for him when he was interviewed by the BBC earlier today (Link to come) There were two things that struck me about the interview, which concerned the political upheaval in Tunisia and the prospects … Continue reading
The BBC elevates the NHS to the position of unassailable criticism.

There is no way that the cash-stricken UK can afford the indulgence of the State Broadcaster on that multi billion … Continue reading
Can’t wait for the BBC’s coverage of this story. He’s in the Tea Party (ergo racist), he supports Sarah Palin (ergo racist and also hate inciter) and..oh yes, he’s BLACK. Mark Mardell, are you paying attention? If you don’t attend Tea Party rallies or listen to political talk radio, the name Herman Cain may not register. Cain intends to rectify that. He’s planning to seek the GOP nomination, so he’s spreading his … Continue reading
Anyone catch Ed Miliband being “interviewed” by Andrew Marr this morning? Talk about sycophantic indulgence! Red Ed was allowed to rewrite political and financial history and then lecture the Coalition on effective economic policy. Marr seemed unwilling to pursue ANY angle that would give Miliband discomfort and the body language between the two was fascinating, with Marr as the all to obvious supplicant. From what I saw, Marr was basically … Continue reading
