Last week the BBC World Service commemorated the highly significant 43rd anniversary of Che Guevara’s death by asking former KGB-funded commie-sympathising Guardian journalist Richard Gott to offer his adoring version of the “Christ-like” psychopathic thug. Be warned, you may need a bucket for this one. (Thanks to Marky for the clip; further hat-tips to Abandon Ship, Rueful Red and John Horne Tooke). Over on Townhall.com Humberto Fontova also marked the … Continue reading →

Have a giggle as we enter the weekend by reading Mark Mardell’s latest love poem to Obama. It strikes me yet again that poorer black Americans have infinitely more patience than those who are new to economic hardship, (Mmm……is he trying to say w-h-i-t-es?) and they don’t expect change to happen overnight. But they, too, await results. There is little doubt that Mr Obama’s image is not all it was when … Continue reading →

I bring you this via the Libertarian Bulldog… “The BBC has made available on its website a 54 minute recording of the discussion in Parliament about the quangos situation. The page is headlined: Quango reform will cost jobs, warns Maude No, really? Wow, who would have thought it.

Anyone catch the easy ride afforded to Nicola Sturgeon during this interview on the BBC? Note how Evan Davies gets lippy to start with, is given a verbal slap by the not so lovely Nicola, and then allows her to trot out one economic inanity after another without serious challenge. SNP delusionalism is given free vent without so much as a demur murmur. Click through to read and contribute comments … Continue reading →

I’ve had several emails on the subject of BBC bias by omission concerning their coverage of the Chilean miners reascue. In essence, it comes down to one thing – a visceral BBC loathing of admitting the formidable contribution the US has made in bringing the trapped men out. Biased BBC contributor Jon Hunt spells it out in clear terms… “Thereal heroes are American, not that you would know that fromany British news … Continue reading →

The Guardian has been speculating whether the BBC’s committment to reporting climate change is lessening. And earlier in the week, as I noted here, the Daily Telegraph suggested that new BBC editorial guidelines would force more balanced coverage of the topic. I have news for them both. Nothing has changed, and if anything the climate alarmist fervour is getting worse. The evidence? Yesterday, a reporter called Tom Heap presented a … Continue reading →

The BBC’s Kevin Connolly has been doing a series of reports from Missouri this week for Radio Five Live Drive. Yesterday he spoke to Reed Chambers, a Tea Party activist in the city of Independence. In response to a series of quick-fire questions Chambers said that he wanted lower taxes, federal government to keep out of healthcare, less gun control, that he backed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (adding … Continue reading →
