(This one is work safe) Talking of which, here are the opening and closing words to James Naughtie’s report for the Today programme on Tuesday: Naughtie: New York, Ground Zero around the corner. I’m standing on the site of a planned Islamic centre with a mosque, a proposal that’s turned into an angry national debate here and acted as a proxy for the wider culture war between President Obama and … Continue reading
I have not often written about narwhals, but the BBC’s continuing green obsession and failure to observe journalistic fundamentals takes me there today. Here, BBC eco-campaigner Matt Walker (formerly a writer for the warmist publication New Scientist) reports with bated breath so-called research from some of his fellow obsessives from California which claims that the said narwhals are under threat from climate change because they swim slowly and will not … Continue reading
I see that Robbo has been in Grantham today asking the question “Do you trust the Coalition to cut the right thing” Wish he had asked me. The correct answer is “They should cut the parasistic BBC free from our cash by abolishing the License Tax” Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
The BBC is the terrorist’s best friend, a willing ally in their propaganda war to convince us that these killers are at worst, simply misunderstood. Why, maybe we are even to blame for their barbarity? EVEN that rag The Guardian prints an article from someone who sees the menace of the BBC. ETA can count on the BBC do do them good.. “It’s noteworthy that the BBC refuses to use the … Continue reading
Well, the BBC’s jihad against Andy Coulson continues here. They scent damage to Cameron and seem absolutely determined to get Coulson’s scalp. The enthusiasm of the BBC to do Labour’s bidding here is quite staggering. I heard the oleaginous Keith Vaz being given a free swing on a news report, even as he declared that he was not playing Party politics. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
BBC is not happy with the news that Barclay’s have made the decision to appoint Bob Diamond as Chief Executive. I caught the 6pm news on Radio 4 and the boot was being firmly put in, with an anonymous”senior Coalition” source leading the critique. All the usual “casino banking” and “bonus culture” tropes were thrown in. How very DARE Barclays appoint someone with a track record of making money as … Continue reading
Another little slice of bias thrown our way from the BBC…“My theory as to why, when America is on the verge of exploding with intolerance towards Muslims, Britain seems to be coping, has less to do with political philosophy than a basic historical difference.” Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Here are two nice examples of how the BBC does subtle bias provided by a thoughtful B-BBC reader! A couple of curious examples of potential bias on the BBC. Not of the direct kind, but one of apologist and one of omission kind. Firstly, a news report on a pipe bomb found on school grounds in Northern Ireland. Nothing biased about that of course, but a line from the reporter … Continue reading
I’ve listened to Roger Harrabin’s second and final programme about climate change available here (due to be broadcast on R4 tonight). Obviously B-BBC readers will make up their own minds whether the programme could be regarded as balanced, but I have deliberately chosen this out-of-context phrase from Mr Harrabin because in my view his whole construct was deeply flawed. Yes he interviewed so-called sceptics, and yes, he conveyed elements of … Continue reading
More evidence of how unbiased the BBC has become in this new era of Mark Thompson balance… ” Yesterday The Telegraph had a letter that gave information about how much money the BBC spent on job advertisements for the different newspapers: In The Guardian, the BBC spent a massive £231,944; in The Telegraph, £32,535; in The Times only £6,159. yet The Telegraph has by far the largest circulation of the … Continue reading
