NAKEDLY PARTISAN…

George R spotted this New Year gem in the Mail on Sunday about how the BBC were euphoric ten years ago when euro notes and coins were introduced. Actually, it’s not the first time this classic BBC ‘we love the EU’ material has been used. Glen Owen has probably recycled it from Peter Oborne’s Guilty Men paper for the CPS published in September which I highlighted here. That’s not to denigrate Mr Owen’s piece, it’s great that the MSM is finally waking up to just how biased the BBC has been for so long in its coverage of the EU. And what’s also interesting is that, apparently, a cross-party group of MPs, including Labour’s Kate Hoey and the impressive Philip Hollobone are to meet BBC News chief Helen Boaden sometime soon to discuss the sustained bias in EU coverage. There’s lorryloads of evidence, as this site shows. What’s the guessing though that Ms Boaden will do her usual and deny all? Even though the BBC on this issue – as with AGW and Israel – is so nakedly partisan?

    Boaden will do what she normally does…put her fingers in her ears and shout “la lal al” over and over.

    I`ve got a few chocolate coins(wrapped in gold foil for value) still uneaten after the holidays.
    I may yet be asking Max Keiser if I might be better off trading in them rather that the Euro in 2012.

    That or: “On balance, we got it just about right.”

    Bias denial sounds like holocaust denial.

    I know that a lot of Labour supporters where irritated when the BBCs anti-Tory bias was unnecessarily made obvious, when Parliament put two fingers up to the British people. Only 111 Mps including 19 Labour MPs voted for a referendum on Europe for the British people, and the BBCs headline was “Tory splits on Europe“, when it should have been, “Parliament put two fingers up to the British publics wish for a referendum on Europe“.

      The BBC’s coverage of the EU veto was a watershed, the bias so obvioius that many people will now be more cynical and (rightly) questioning of all other output.
