The BBC’s sport correspondent, Gary Richardson, has been accused of being biased by the ‘Unions’ for calling border staff strikers a ‘disgrace’ and suggesting they should be sacked. Richardson is normally quite ‘in your face’ as an interviewer but certainly he did say the strikers were a disgrace and it did seem a personal statement…..as to the rest you make your own mind up, (45 mins). The unions were strangely quiet when … Continue reading
The BBC exists to serve the public interest. Or so its Charter tells us. What it believes is the ‘public interest’ is altogether a different thing. It certainly believes the police, government and, well, just about every public body and commercial interest should be accountable for its actions…accountable to the BBC. It is less happy about its own accountability as Mark Thompson goes on to explain: ‘Transparency is as … Continue reading
Ever since bombs have been going off in Western countries and Muslims have been proclaiming this is done in the name of Allah to further His Realm on Earth the BBC have been consistent in denying the religious connection and paradoxically claiming that these Muslims are wrong….the BBC knows better…the Fundamentalists are ‘perverting Islam’. My contention is that they are carrying out Islam’s policies…to spread the ideology as widely as possible…and that it is … Continue reading
The BBC has its own clear agenda on crime which is advanced on a daily basis. Here we have a Biased BBC reader picking up on one strand of this bias. “Even though it may impact rather positively on the coalition, the BBC are determined to tackle the ‘fear of violent crime’ which liberal minded commentators often like to tell us is actually worse than violent crime itself. In this … Continue reading
Peter Hitchens had an excellent article HERE the other day reflecting my own views on the BBC’s cheer-leading for Islamic supremacy aka Arab Spring… “But isn’t it strange that the BBC, crammed as it with people who regard me as a monster for favouring capital punishment for the guilty, has become a roaring propaganda machine for liberal intervention in Arab countries, which will lead – has already led – to … Continue reading
Remarkable! “The BBC is spending an estimated £130,000 over two years on a chauffeur-driven car rejected by its chairman Lord Patten because it would ‘incur costs’ to terminate the contract. The car was originally used by Sir Michael Lyons, the former chairman of the BBC, until he quit in April last year. It was then assigned to Lord Patten, who succeeded him. But the peer refused the vehicle, saying he … Continue reading
A Biased BBC reader notes.. “A short play earlier this evening about a problem child at school. From Fact to Fiction http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01kxzy4 The child was ethnic British, that’s fine, but the BBC approved play write couldn’t resist feeding in a comment by an actor in the role of a teacher (6.25 mins into programme) that she “couldn’t help but notice that ALL the kids at the ‘exclusion centre’ were ‘white’” … Continue reading
The BBC has been on its favourite hobby horse today….bashing the police. (08:33) John Humphrys sounds shocked that of 2000 complaints against the Police only one may result in a police officer being sacked. What isn’t apparent of course is the seriousness of the complaints which might have some relevance as to whether it merits sacking someone. You could equally ask how many BBC staff are sacked as a result of … Continue reading
The BBC have been delighting in a bit of ‘Blue on Blue’ in the Tory camp as Nigel Lawson suggests that George Osborne should give up some of his other roles and concentrate on the economy, and the BBC have been reporting his advice as often as possible. Fair enough…Lawson did say that…but Lawson also said that the reason the last budget was an ‘omnishambles’ was that unlike single party governments … Continue reading
A Biased BBC from Wales angrily writes.. “Suleman Arshad jailed for 16 months for sex related offences against a young girl “He had befriended “a naïve and shy” young woman” Regional paper report here. Regional BBC website…… Nil. They link other, lesser, stories about crime (inc 1700 ‘caught’ with no TV Licence) from the Daily Post website though.” All about priorities….
