Had to laugh at the BBC’s promotion of the idea that the “economic recovery” (?) of the last six months is being put in peril by the wicked plans of the Coalition that the State sector should live within it’s means. Yes, the good work of Labour is being undone by nasty Mr Cameron. Economic realities are never mentioned – the crunch issue for the BBC is that the Conservatives … Continue reading
Oh what a dream start to the new week for the BBC. They instantly move in to exploit Cameron’s slap down of the idea that subsidised milk for under 5’s could be scrapped. There was an item here on it and then how do they start the 8.10am prime time slot – by Mr Humphyrs intoning “Maggie Thatcher – Milk Snatcher, catchy slogan”. The “nasty party” inferences were present and correct … Continue reading

Biased-BBC were asked on a recent thread if we had any logos suitable for putting in a side-bar on your own blog to link back here. Via the marvellous delegation skills of our Gracious Host David (“Eye, can you sort something out?“) and the most excellent design skills of the GrumpyOldTwat here they are. You only have to copy the code into a blog widget for them to work, changing … Continue reading
In a previous post Sue highlighted Robert Spencer’s dealings with Kiera Feldman, the seemingly friendly “freelance” journalist who failed initially to mention that her enquiries regarding opposition to the Ground Zero mosque were in fact on behalf of the BBC. Spencer is right to be suspicious of Feldman’s intentions. She has also reported for Beyond The Pale, a programme which airs on the left-leaning Pacifica Radio Network: BEYOND THE PALE … Continue reading
It’s good to see a plug for this website elsewhere, so thanks to everyone who has mentioned B-BBC on JihadWatch, and Mel’s Blog, and anywhere else.It struck me how easily things can take off or go viral if they catch the imagination. I was thinking of the video of the alarming security breach at Montreal Trudeau International Airport that was filmed by ‘Mickfly’ and posted here. (The affronted reaction to … Continue reading
The full facts are not yet up on the BBC complaints site, but the Mail on Sunday today reports that the corporation has apologised to the vice-chancellor of the University of East Anglia because John Humphrys suggested on the Today show back in December that the Climategate emails may have shown that Phil Jones, the head of UEA’s climate research unit (CRU), had manipulated data. Stephen Mitchell, the BBC’s head … Continue reading
Melting glaciers are an essential part of the BBC’s AGW alamist narrative. Yesterday it was Greenland alarmism; back in June, it was that Mount Everest is becoming treacherous because of a deluge of meltwater. Mark Hendrickx has done some very thorough digging into the Everest claims, and found that at their root, as usual, is exaggeration and distortion. The source was a paper quoted in the IPCC AR4 report which … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader spots the delights offered on RADIO 4 in just one day.. “Beyond Belief: Santuary” A look at Britain’s history of offering sanctuary to those fearing persecution. “The Mossad” The BBC’s Security Correspondent talks to the world’s most feared and fabledsecurity services. “Face The Facts” Is the legal aid system failing asylum lawyers and their clients? “Alan Johnson: Failed Rock Star” Alan Johnson meets people who have … Continue reading
An iceberg four times the size of Manhattan has calved from one of the main Greenland glaciers. As What’s Up With That? quickly pointed out last night, it’s entirely normal for this to happen; a far bigger iceberg similarly calved from the same glacier in 1962, well before even the most ardent warmists claim that CO2 was fomenting our doom. WUWT also warned that the media would be swift to … Continue reading
