A nice little bit of investigation by B-BBC contributor Billy Blofeld, who has been busy with the FOI requests. The BBC have now provided him with up-to-date data broken down by how much they spend on recruitment advertisement with external organisations. 30% is quite a shocking slant of payment towards one particular source, but if you isolate only national newspapers this rises to a staggering 70%. From his blog: The BBC … Continue reading
Question Time tonight comes from Birmingham, largest council in Europe and which has seen the invention of gas lighting, custard powder, Brylcreem, and the magnetron. On the panel tonight we have an entirely unelected bunch: Baroness Warsi, Charles Clarke, Susan Kramer, Max Mosley and راجح عمر (Rageh Omaar). For those playing the Buzzword Bingo, we’ll be playing the ToryBashing Rules which means that pro-Tory remarks will score double because they’ll be as rare as hen’s … Continue reading
Jenni Murray on Woman Sour rewrites the Mayor of Casterbridge : “The Mayor of Casterbridge, written in 1886, opens in the market square in the town of Dorchester, where a drunk Michael Henchard is offering his wife for sale” OK, who’s ignorant – Jenni, the scriptwriter, or the researcher? As any Hardy reader kno, Henchard sold his wife at Weydon-Priors fair, miles from Dorchester – and the book opens with … Continue reading
Did you catch this interview with the British Ambassador to Yemen? Listen to how the fragrant Sarah manages to get through the interview with ever once mentioning the real cause of the problems afflicting Yemen – ISLAM. Instead, the issue is presented as being one of poverty. The Ambassador, sadly, goes with this whole unemployment/poverty angle which only then further encourages the BBC in its mission to ignore the real … Continue reading
Interesting interview here with Man Booker Prize nominee Peter Carey in which the author gets to mock “stupid people like George W Bush and Sarah Palin” Even in their Arts section, the BBC meme is always being advanced. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
One of the elements of the BBC’s bias is the deliberate, constant re-writing of history to fit its own narrative, and the drip-drip of its own propaganda messages. The impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil blow-out was far less than the panic-reporting by the BBC predicted, but the corporation hates anything to do with fossil-fuel as part of its greenie obsession, so that’s not what it wants to believe. To … Continue reading
Rhod Sharp, regular host of Radio Five Live’s Up All Night, returned from holiday this week and on Wednesday morning received an update about recent events from Cash Peters: Cash Peters: About three weeks ago I got into a little trouble with the very first stand-in we had, I got into a little trouble. We were talking about this RightNetwork, which is a conservative network, and I was going on … Continue reading
This is an interesting link and the content seems to be one that the BBC eco-cultists like Richard Black have overlooked. I wonder why? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
A Biased BBC reader writes.. “The BBC’s ‘History of the world in 100 objects’ now escalates its assault on Western culture and values, leaping with enthusiasm from telling us that we must accommodate Islamic principles into our own life if we want lasting peace by adopting pragmatic tolerance and legal equality for Islam to now openly denouncing European history and the ‘Enlightenment’. The Enlightenment is something that the Left cannot … Continue reading
This came across my desk the other day, first chance to share. From the Daily Express,,, “If the BBC has any sense of integrity it will reprimand news presenter Evan Davis. Mr Davis was once the BBC’s economics editor but is now a regular presenter on Today, Radio 4’s flagship current affairs programme. He is undoubtedly a clever man but just what did he think he was doing yesterday when … Continue reading
