As we celebrate record A-level results for the umpteenth successive year, let’s spare a thought for those BBC Online staff who don’t know the difference between fare and fair.

Dumb Jon, who’s (wo)manfully taken on the task of watching BBC Breakfast so you don’t have to, reports on the shock BBC revelation about the Battle of Britain – women were involved, too ! “This is the other thing about the BBC’s crappy reporting. Not only is the bias bad in and of itself, it also blinds them to actual points. It is genuinely interesting to hear from a – … Continue reading
With the electorate having engendered the wrath of the BBC for daring to throw out Labour. it’s only natural that every story be taken and given a twist that puts the knife into the evil Coalition. And so it is that on an item on an exhibition of life in the Victorian workhouses, there is the suggestion that “in a way” this is what the Coalition is proposing bringing back. … Continue reading
Wonder if you listened to this interview on the BBC this morning? It’s one more of those which in essence is gay advocacy dressed up as anti-discrimination. It concerns the news that the Roman Catholic Church has lost it’s campaign to restrict adoption services to heterosexual people. Naturally the BBC sees this as a judicious move, ensuring that gay couples are not denied that right to adopt kids. (Not sure … Continue reading
Anyone else catch THIS disgraceful commentary by Hugh Sykes on the news that the last US combat brigade has left Iraq. Note the sneering contemptuous tone he adopts, note how he mocks the US soldier that dares to suggest they won (Where’s Saddam today, Hugh) and note the clear suggestion that it was all a waste of time – in line with the BBC narrative even before we liberated that … Continue reading
It could be that the tide is turning in the BBC/Israel conflict.But one swallow doesn’t a summer make or whatever jumbled up sentence means ‘don’t think one tiddly Panorama signifies light at the end of the tunnel’.

I am far from being a fan of the Coalition government (being way too blue in tooth and claw, so to speak) but you have to give credit where it is due and so the fact that it has hung together for a 100 days and tackled some big issues is commendable. But, obviously, the BBC is not going to happy about any of this. It wanted a coalition but … Continue reading
Anyone catch Mark Mardell’s take on Obama’s latest u-turn on the building of a Mosque at Ground Zero? Note how Mardell lashes “the right” whilst claiming that Obama is “middle of the road”. Also, for good measure, Mardell conjures up images of Islamphobia to make us feel sorry for America’s beseiged Muslims. Is Marky getting a little upset that “The One” is looking more and more like a one term … Continue reading
Little bit of Obama-love here from Michael Voss which happily also lavishes attention on Castro’s Cuba. No mention of the gross violations of human rights which passes for everyday life in this Communist hell-hole. But hey, never mind that, let’s dance… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
