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
Further to Robin’s post, The Sunday Programme, presented by pouting Suzanna Reid, further puts the boot into the Roman Catholic Church by asking the question “Is the Catholic Church obsessed by sex”? Surely it would be more accurate to ask if the BBC is obsessed by sex? It strikes me that the BBC is up in arms about any Institutions which promote Christian values and which, gasp, might even take the … Continue reading
Can you imagine what would happen if the BBC greeted a visit by a leading figure from the Muslim world with a poll about whether the teachings of the said imam were relevant, believed or liked by a sample of 500 UK Muslims? What would the questions be? Do you believe that those who become human bombers are granted access to an endless supply of virgins? Or, should Iranian women … Continue reading
