If anyone is tempted to believe Mark Thompson’s ludicrous assertion that BBC bias was in the past, take a look at Roger Harrabin’s attempt to discuss dispassionately the recent attack by Inter Academy Council (IAC) on the snake oil salesmen techniques of the IPCC. BBC reports about the IAC such as this one have already done their best to minimise the importance of the damning IAC verdict. Our Roger pretends … Continue reading
Pleased to read that BBC DG Mark Thompson shares our view that the BBC is biased towards the left. Read what he says here. Of course he is quick to point out that this confirmed BIAS was in the past, not the present and the BBC now proudly has an “honourable tradition of journalists from the right” working for the corporation. How fascinating, who are they? He confesses to that … Continue reading
A B-BBC reader spells it out… How the BBC downplay the environmental gunman shot dead by police in the USA. This from US news: ‘Lee said at the time that he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.” ‘The planet does not need humans’ ‘ Not on the BBC. It compares this situation with the man who knifed the Muslim taxi … Continue reading
Strange item here concerning the system that Labour uses to elect it’s new leader. On the one hand, the item makes is abundantly clear that one person can have multiple votes when it comes to voting for the Labour leader. You would have thought this was vigorously challenged but I thought John Humphyrs was exceedingly gentle with Labour Party Chairman Tony Lloyd. (Note how Humphyrs speaks highly of John Prescott). In … Continue reading
Sometimes BBC bias sickens me and then, sometimes, it enrages me. This item this morning falls into the latter camp. I’ll pass on Jeremy Bowen’s loaded commentary, we all know how anti-Israel he is. But I simply couldn’t believe way how Hamas apologist Professor Beverley Milton Edwards was allowed to come on to the Today programme this morning and apologise for Hamas (Islamic resistance) This wretched academic, who disgracefully infests my Alma … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader writes… “At 9.28 this morning, on BBC News 24, the boss of the NUT was on talking about the new system, condemning it out of hand, natch. Oh dear, your local City Hall is to be by passed and the cash go straight to the schools. As a former school governor I know that a lot of what she said was b……s and she either a) … Continue reading
Oh no! The BBC could be preparing to go on strike. That might mean we are denied their award-winning programmes, their intrepid fearless investigative journalism, their 24/7 global output. So, let’s hope the strike goes ahead. Then, sack them all. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
Obama made his big speech last night and the BBC do their best to put the best spin of it today. Mark Mardell salivates over him here. Love the way Mardell allows Obama to run with the pretence that he is “only now” turning his gaze to sorting out the US economy. How about an objective analysis of Obama’s record on economic revival from the BBC? Click through to read and … Continue reading
Phew, we made it to Wednesday and so time for the now obligatory mid-week thread. The BBC are all misty-eyed about Tony Blair today, far-off halycon days now! Are you loving the Blair love-in? What else is bothering you? Ladies and Gentlemen, you have the floor… Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
John Simpson is in good US-bashing form here. The click through heading is “Shrunken Superpower” and the item is entitled “Assessing America’s “imperial adventure in Iraq” Honestly, Homer Simpson would have more insight….. Click through to read and contribute comments on this post.
