Now then, this was never going to be comfortable issue for the BBC to tackle – perish the thought that State workers are living off the fat of the economic land, enjoying substantial salary benefits over their private sector colleagues with feather bedded pension provision to boot. So, what to do, thinks the State workers in the BBC? They invite on Carl Emmerson from the Institute of Fiscal Studies who … Continue reading
The Global Warming Policy Foundation report into the various “inquiries” that have been held into Climategate was published yesterday, and author Andrew Montford’s very thorough analysis paints a disturbing picture of whitewash and fudge. As regular B-BBC commenter John Anderson lucidly points out in response to my previous post and on What’s Up With That?, coverage of the report by the MSM – even the Guardian – notes that Mr … Continue reading
As readers of Biased- BBC already know, BBC environment correspondent Richard Black has repeatedly filed reports that are rather alarmist about climate change and seem to advance what I would call a crude political agenda, linked closely with the UN’s attempts at world domination. Mr Black is a busy boy behind the scenes, too. He recently chaired a session about that latest UN buzz-word “biodiversity” at the BBC College of … Continue reading
Not often Ofsted comes up with anything useful but today it reveals that half a million children in England alone have been wrongly diagnosed with “special needs”. This instantly raises questions about the professionalism of some teachers and the approach of some schools. Now, this is a problem for the BBC which slavishly promotes the teaching “profession” so how to deal with it? Check out this prime-time 8.10am discussion. The … Continue reading
I see that the Zimbabwean Government is taking action to further discriminate against those few white farmers that remain. The BBC presents this as “radical steps to shift power from white to black”. Or, blatant racism, if you like. Where’s Diana Abbot when you need her? Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
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
The BBC reports… The BBC’s main unions have announced strike dates in a dispute over proposed changes to the corporation’s pension schemes. Members will be asked to strike on 5 and 6 October, coinciding with the Conservative Party Conference. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
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
