Well, what a week it has been with the BBC in full on “Fight the Tory Cuts” mode. As we prepare to enter the weekend the floor is yours. Please share your thoughts on the National Propagandist. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
BBC hatred of Rupert Murdoch is thinly disguised, if at all, and I commend this “debate” between Evan Davis, William Shawcross and Henry Porter for your interest. Shawcross makes some very positive comments about the contribution made by Murdoch to the British media whilst Porter venomously attacks Murdoch. That’s fair enough in my view – two contrasting opinions. What irritates is the fact that it is clear that Davis inserts himself … Continue reading
Have a read of this interesting document. Go to page 25 to find out the thoughts of Pete Murray, President of the National Union of Journalists and Senior Broadcast journalist with BBC Scotland . He’s asked to identify his biggest “villain” and this is what he says; “Margaret Thatcher and all her successors who have send millions of people to the dole queues, smashed working class communities and taken Britain … Continue reading
Question Time tonight comes from Middlesbrough, which has the lowest life expectancy in England and Wales and, according to the BBC, a council that “will be the least resilient to such public sector cuts“. It also boasts a 33ft tower which changes colour when you send it a text message. On the Trafalgar Day panel tonight we have Philip Hammond MP, John Denham MP, Caroline Lucas MP, General Sir Richard Dannatt, … Continue reading
Here’s an item in which the BBC opines that two teenagers found guilty of killing a man are actually “victims.” Through the BBC prism, the guilty are innocent. Orwell never knew that half of it all! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Sorry it’s taken me until now to catch up with you all but I’ve been engaging with the BBC this morning. Sort of. Let me explain. The Nolan Show was covering the CSR this morning and had invited representatives of local political parties on to discuss it. Except mine. We were treated to student grant “Smash the Tories” gibberish – including a vox pop that contained those ready to follow … Continue reading
BBC ecofascists are part of the drive to stop industrial production and the generation of energy from fossil fuels. Their goal is to force us back to “nature”. Here Richard Black – still living it up in Japan at our expense at the UN biodiversity boondoggle (Convention of Biological Biodiversity, or CBD) – tells us about the drive to enmesh us into a terrifying new project: The Economics of Ecosystems … Continue reading
DB’s post about the impartiality-busting tweets of left-wing BBC News Channel editor Rachel Kennedy, having first spread the message of BBC bias to Guido’s blog and to Melanie Phillips in the Spectator, now seems to have provoked a reaction from Helen Boaden. Under the headline BBC Boss Tells Left-Wing News Staff “Stop Tweeting” Guido reports: The Director of BBC News, Helen Boaden, has just sent out this chatty emailto all … Continue reading
Shocking to read that the BBC is taking advertising from an “Intifada” supporting Islamic bank. The excellent Undhimmi has the sordid details here but this sums it up; Among many other activities, the bank controls two funds set up at an Arab summit in Cairo, in October 2000 – the Al-Quds Fund and the Al-Aqsa Fund. Between them worth hundreds of millions of dollars, these funds openly finance the ‘Palestinian … Continue reading
Interesting debate here between John Humphyrs and David Elstein on the decision to freeze the BBC TV tax for 5 years and a useful insight as to how the BBC like to tackle the subject of their own bloated funding. Elstein is clearly sympathetic to the BBC and thus Humphyrs is able to lead the interview without the irksome inconvenience of having someone point out that the UK cannot afford … Continue reading
