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
Well, here we are on ” Axe Wednesday” – when the doomsday cuts are announced by the Coalition and hyped by the BBC. Thought we could use this Open Thread to detail their outrageous coverage of it all… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
So where is Question Time coming from this week – the week of savage cuts spending rising but not as much as it was previously? One day after the the Comprehensive Spending Review it’s coming from Middlesbrough which is ranked as 324th out of 324 council areas by Experian (well spotted Tim). In other words (according to the BBC website) it “will be the least resilient to such public sector cuts.“ Could the … Continue reading
Don’t know if anyone else watched Newsnight but it’s almost as if the BBC are annoyed that the UK trade unions have not taken to the same level of street violence as we see in France. Quite remarkable, and running close to incitement to riot. Did you see it? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Robin Shepherd has another well deserved pop at the BBC for revelling in Mike Leigh’s ‘message’ to Israel. Another instance of luvviedom meddling naively in Middle East politics.After Ken Loach, this is even better for the BBC because apparently Mike Leigh can speak AsaJew. Deep joy, as Professor Stanley Unwin used to say.Not only that. It gives them a golden opportunity, which they grasp with alacrity, to opine negatively in … Continue reading
