I am so busy that sometimes I don’t get the time to read all that you folks write here on the topic of BBC bias but I came across this and wanted to share more broadly. It’s by Biased BBC reader Dave S and you should all give it a read; Without any hope of enlightenment I listened to the “debate” on BBC Radio4 on immigration at 10.15pm. Pointless apart … Continue reading

We’ve been despairing over the BBC’s Middle East reporting for donkey’s years, but it’s still pretty shocking to read what Israel’s outgoing press officer Danny Seaman has to say about the difficulties of dealing with both foreign and home-grown journalists.(Hat tip Elder of Ziyon) Woe betide an outsider who joins in criticism of a beloved family member, because the same words assume a different cloak when the critic lacks intimacy, … Continue reading

I have concluded that the BBC is frantically busy compiling the equivalent of the Malleus Maleficarum, the documentation of “proof” by the medieval Church that witches existed. Here, we have alien species – in this case, floating pennywort, a nasty invader from the nasty US – callously and viciously invading the pristine waterways of Northern Ireland. Here, strange men called Megonigels are devising new and ever more cunning ways of … Continue reading
