Not often Ofsted comes up with anything useful but today it reveals that half a million children in England alone have been wrongly diagnosed with “special needs”. This instantly raises questions about the professionalism of some teachers and the approach of some schools. Now, this is a problem for the BBC which slavishly promotes the teaching “profession” so how to deal with it? Check out this prime-time 8.10am discussion. The … Continue reading
I see that the Zimbabwean Government is taking action to further discriminate against those few white farmers that remain. The BBC presents this as “radical steps to shift power from white to black”. Or, blatant racism, if you like. Where’s Diana Abbot when you need her? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Lobbying for the legalisation of narcotics such as cannabis is an essential part of the BBC narrative and so, on cue, we had one of the “UK’s leading researchers on cannabis” on Today this morning arguing for the licensed sale of the drug for “recreational purposes”. Pity this esteemed “leading researcher” ignores stories like this. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
I see that Diane Abbot was on the BBC this morning doing a little race-hustling. Not only are the Coalition cuts going to cause misery to the poor, the least able but, gasp, they are raaaacist. It would have been nice to have someone on to counter Abbot’s mean-spirited race hustling but then this is the BBC and only one point of view is allowed. Click through to read and … Continue reading
The BBC is certainly maxing out on the evil coalition “cuts” with reverential softballs being thrown to strutting and strident trade union fatcats (all on £100,000+pa) and gut wrenching tales of woe from “randomly selected” families etc. The mood music is clear, the narrative set in stone with helpful clues to remind of the last bloodthirsty regime which gleefully crushed the poor and the weak into the dust…..”…deepest cuts since … Continue reading

I know you’ve been talking about the topic over on the Open Thread but I couldn’t help but notice a/ Just how EASY a ride comrade Brendan Barber got on Today this morning and b/ how blatantly pro-Trade Union this page is. Just look at the headline email under the main story… I’ve never been a member of a union but I will certainly be joining any demonstrations the TUC … Continue reading
Did you see that the BBC will use up to 400 staff to cover the Pope’s visit to the UK, more staff than it used to cover the World Cup. Given the loathing of Pope Benedict by the BBC, I’ll be surprised if none of the 400 try to make a citizen’s arrest! Also, in this age of austerity, good to see the BBC does not hold back on these … Continue reading

This was sent to me from a Biased BBC reader. I think he picks up on several great points. It concernsLaura Trevelyan on‘From our own correspondent’ 11.9.10 “….she reports from New York on the controversy surrounding the Ground Zero Mosque but presents it solely from the Muslim’s perspective except for a relative of a 9/11 victim who supports the building of the Mosque. (amazing that 70% of Americans don’t want … Continue reading
