Depicting Gaza and the West Bank as if they were English suburbs blighted by ‘neighbours from hell’ typifies a huge flaw in the BBC’s biased coverage of the I/P conflict.Jon Donnison is one of the worst offenders. After reading yesterday’s report on Gaza (blogged yesterday by David) one could take away the impression that the blockade was merely a hardship that Israel imposed at random upon innocent people just because … Continue reading
BBC editors were clearly concerned that their coverage of Christine O’Donnell’s youthful activities wasn’t getting the traffic they hoped, and so for much of yesterday and this morning this was the main news story on the BBC.co.uk front page (h/t Cassandra): The carefully chosen “cackling” photo is a nice touch, isn’t it? Meanwhile, yesterday evening this story appeared on the BBC’s website: Eight people, including the mayor and ex-city manager, … Continue reading
Given BBC sympathies, one can hardly be surprised at the easy treatment afforded to Dr Gillian Leng from N.I.C.E. and her suggestion that it might be a good idea in some places to have midwives in schools. Oh, and of course we need more contraception to help bring those unwanted pregnancies.Maybe we should fit out a class-room or two with birthing equipment? I enjoyed the passing reference to the “lack” of … Continue reading
Mid-week and a new Open thread to keep up the perpetual pick up of BBC bias. Over to you, let it rip… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Here’s a great example of the BBC advancing its own narrative by choosing to have a faux “debate” with both participants holding the same liberal view as the BBC. Ken Clarke is another BBC hero and it continually finds opportunities to “prove” how his liberal approach to criminal justice works! Two criminal justice experts from each side of the Atlantic – filmmaker Roger Graef and the Harvard professor of Criminology … Continue reading
Well, Vince is their hero again. After a few months of begrudging, the BBC has returned to sing fulsome praise to Saint Vince Cable. There’s nothing like a bit of bashing business, nothing like an attack on the free market, to get BBC types all excited. Naturally, Saint Vince was on Today this morning and was given a soft ride on his planned socialist rhetoric at the Lib-Dem conference today. … Continue reading
BBC has gone all weak at the knees at the news that Saint Vince Cable (blessings be upon him) will state tomorrow that “Capitalism kills competition”. Had to laugh at the almost religious fervour with which BBC poodles repeat “Capitalism kills…”. I am sure we will hear MUCH more tomorrow. Chris Huhne, Vince Cable – enemies of freedom and liberty and worshipped by the BBC. P.S. Does a bloated all … Continue reading
One of the relentless goals of the greenies is to hit the poor. They are driving up the cost of energy and green taxes in the lunatic belief that CO2 causes global warming; the consequence is millions are being forced into fuel poverty. They have banned DDT and because of it, millions have died of malaria. Now they have another target – the cooking stoves of 3bn people worlwide, which … Continue reading
You would think that all good Guardianistas would have better memories. On “Today” this morning, Justin Webb got stuck into Nick Clegg with the repeated attack line that he had changed his mind on what was needed to fix the economy. As a Biased BBC reader reports… Britain needs ‘savage’ cuts, says Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg. Patrick Wintour and Allegra Stratton The Guardian, Saturday 19 September 2009 Click through … Continue reading
It was, of course, entirely predictable that the BBC would join in the left-wing attack on Christine O’Donnell. In an item entitled “A new broomstick”, the BBC indulges in the mockery of the new GOP Senatorial candidate. She is “a murky figure” apparently. Even worse she says evolution is “a theory”, oh and then again she believes masturbation to be unBiblical. That must REALLY gut the BBC. Can’t remember the … Continue reading
