Bias can be so subtle. Consider this; Just before 7am, on Today, the BBC found time to interview Dan Hannan on his call for a referendum on our continued membership of the EU. Naturally he was not given an easy ride and there was a distinctive glacial tone in the not so fragant Sarah Montague’s questioning. Meanwhile, God-denier and BBC fave Stephen Hawkings gets TWO slots to advance his contention … Continue reading
It’s relentless, it’s offensive and it seems to be something that the BBC has taken up as a cause macabre.. “Should Hamas be included in Middle East peace talks? Jon Donnison reports on how Hamas still has a strong influence in Gaza and the West Bank, despite the efforts by the Israeli and Palestinian security services to crack down on the organisation.” ETA, IRA, Hamas, Taliban, Al Queda – the BBC just … Continue reading
I am sure that the hundreds of next of kin of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan will be tuning in to the BBC Radio 4 programme entitled “Have we won the war in Afghanistan”? Oops sorry, I misread the title, it is in fact called “Has the Taliban won the war in Afganistan”. Eddie Mair is your host and it starts right now. I won’t be listening. The Taliban must … Continue reading

Because the previous one is falling off the page. For no particular reason, here’s a bit of Hugh “I marched against the war” Sykes getting a bit stroppy. Listen! Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
(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.
