Checking the BBC website today, it’s clear that there’s a relentless, systematic torrent of climate change propaganda, without a breath of a dissenting voice. Yet all of the measures described are gobbling vast amounts of our cash, most of which is being poured down the drain. Richard Black fawningly reports Tim Yeo’s suicidal call from his parliamentary select committee to “de-carbonise” the UK economy, and introduce obscene new taxes on … Continue reading
Did you hear the simpering interview with BBC poster boy Alex Salmond at 8.10am this morning. With the BBC doing all it can to somehow blame David Cameron for the decision taken by Salmond/ Brown to realease the convicted mass murderer Al Megrahi – the Lockerbie bomber? I contrast the tone used in this interview with the vile Salmond – passive and largely agreeable – to the hectoring of Michael … Continue reading
It’s always a good day at the BBC if they can a/ Have a go at a Conservative and b/Twist what he says. So it was this morning on the Balls Broadcasting Corporation when Frances Maude was then target. Maude has pointed out how some family gangster dynasties cost the taxpayer ££millions. First off, the basis for Maude’s comments was attacked and then a Labour politicians was invited on to … Continue reading
The right to own one’s own property is a mark of a democratic country and was one of the great achievements of Lady Thatcher when she was in power. Now, the Welsh Assembly seeks to ban the sale of Council houses in certain areas. Nothing strange there – what else one would expect from a left-wing institution? However what surprised me was that the BBC angle on this was “Is … Continue reading
Over at Andrew Breitbart’s Big Journalism Warner Todd Huston has created a mouth watering list of the “Ten Most Left-Biased American Journalists”. To anyone familiar with the US political scene the names are predictable – Paul Krugman, Chuck Todd, Rick Sanchez and sundry other clones of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf – and the list makes more sense if read in conjunction with Breitbart’s own takedown of the US media elite. However … Continue reading
Last year Richard Tait, head of the BBC’s Editorial Standards Committee was to chair an investigation into allegations of inaccuracy and bias by Jeremy Bowen. But Mr Tait had already proclaimed on air that he had complete confidence in Jeremy Bowen. So the outcome seemed a foregone conclusion. One of the committee of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, Christine Chinkin, made no secret of her … Continue reading
International economics guru, Sanchia Berg, was on the BBC this morning to entertain us with an “analysis” of Ireland’s economic woes. At first I was curious as to why the BBC seemed so interested in the fact that Moody’s (They never saw the recession coming, why should we pay much attention to them now?) had downrated Irish credit worthiness – then it became clear. You see Ireland has actually TRIED to … Continue reading
If it’s 8.10am and it’s the BBC’s TODAY programme, you can be sure a Conservative will be under sustained attack. Yesterday, Sarah Montague let rip at Michael Gove, today we had John Humphyrs doing everything possible to get William Hague to agree that British deaths in Agfhanistan were a complete waste of time. Humphrys was on full-on “We’re doomed and we shouldn’t be there in the first place” mode and … Continue reading
In Philadelphia on Election Day 2008 two members of the radical New Black Panther Party were filmed intimidating voters outside a polling station. Subsequently the US Justice Dept began investigating the case. Conservatives were unhappy when last year US Attorney General Eric Holder, the Democratic hack who heads the Justice Dept downgraded the case for what Holder’s officials claimed was lack of evidence. But recently a former Justice Dept official … Continue reading
