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
As ever, you can rely on the BBC ….to ensure you don’t get the full picture. BBC reports this: ‘Gaza receives first car shipment from Israel since 2007′ and uses it as anexcuse to bash Israel….Gazans unemployed, can’t afford cars …’With so muchpoverty and unemployment, few people can afford a new car, says the BBC’s JonDonnison in Gaza.’ Are you welling up yet? Remember, sympathy for Hamastan is essential. … Continue reading
Whatever happened to the looming weekend?! It’s Monday morning and the last Open Thread has filled up and so I offer you a brand shiny new one to start the week! Let’s be hearing from you…. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Sometimes, the BBC bias is not just overt but also mired in deceit. Such is the case with this story. As I see it, what we have here is BBC Religious Affairs Correspondent, Robert Pigott, using his bully pulpit to back those liberals pushing for reform of the Roman Catholic Church, disguising his campaign as genuine canvassing of the beliefs of ordinary Catholics as part of the BBC poll of … Continue reading
Yes, I know that the quote comes from Michael Gove but how often has it been repeated on Today this morning with relish…”Rich thick kids” getting on to the detriment of “poor bright kids”. Humphyrs banging the drum this morning for the radical egalitarians that see our schools as little more than laboratories for social engineering. Apparently there is a BBC2 documentary on the topic tonight and I am sure … Continue reading
Listen to John Humphyrs doing everything possible to suggest that the British Army is running away from Sangin in this interview with Major General Gordon Messenger. I find it repulsive listening to the mocking and hectoring tone from Humphyrs and his ilk knowing the gallantry and self-sacrifice that characterises our Armed Forces. The Taliban must tune in to Today regularly for this Brit-bashing Taliban worship. Click through to read and … Continue reading
I’m not an expert on oil spills, and do not feel qualified to decide whether the Deepwater Horizon well leak was a “disaster”. There was loss of life, and some damage to the environment, and a major negative effect on BP’s balance sheet, and therefore it was a serious incident; but all the indications are that the impact has been much less than had been forecast. To the BBCl, of … Continue reading
Helen Boaden is Director of BBC News and here she is telling us that “impartiality is in BBC genes.” In what universe is this lady living? She singles out the likes of Flanders and Easton, not forgetting Robinson, as models of professional impartiality. Is she mad or is she so removed from real feedback that she lives in her license-tax funded ivory tower? In a sense her bland arrogance confirms … Continue reading
Pounce, familyjaffa and Deegee (Open Thread and B-BBC COMMENTING thread) have highlighted the BBC’s clumsy and ill-informed picture show about Yom Kippur. It seems like a last minute attempt to address the imbalance between their blanket coverage of Muslim festivals and customs and their comparatively underwhelming coverage of Jewish ones.The major difference is not in the quantity of the coverage, but in the treatment. With Islam, the BBC does all … Continue reading
