Mardell and the President and Libya Continued

No sooner had I posted my complaints about Mark Mardell’s continued, slavish defense of the President and use of the BBC website to set forth his own personal opinions on foreign policy, the BBC’s North America editor put up another post on the matter. Actually he’s done two posts, but I’ll get to the second one in a minute. The Enigma Variations As if in rebuttal to my post, Mardell … Continue reading

KEEPING THE FLOODGATES OPEN

Any attempt by Cameron to tackle the relentless abuse of the UK education system by those claiming to be foreign students coming from outside the EU (From Pakistan, for example) was always going to annoy the BBC. So on Today, at 8.35am on comes the oleaginous Keith Vaz to tell us about the “enormous damage” any attempt to staunch th is unwelcome and dangerous inward flow will have on our Universities. … Continue reading

LOVING THE RELIGION OF PEACE, LOATHING THE PRINCE OF PEACE

The BBC and how it treats Islam and Christianity. A B-BBC reader informs; “The BBC continues its assault on Christianity and the Bible ( ‘a monstrous book that does more evil than good’ Melvyn Bragg suggests many people think). Dr Francesca Stavrakopoulou has been given a primetime BBC Two series, ‘The Bible’s Buried Secrets’, in which she makes a number of startling suggestions.

The President still hasn’t made a decision, is in fact hoping the problem is solved for Him, and Mardell is faithfully defending Him. After explaining how others want action (the Chinese and Russians “have questions”, and Mardell leaves it at that so he doesn’t have to speak a truth which might harm his agenda), he dutifully … Continue reading

LOVING THE CALIPHATE, HATING ISRAEL

A Biased BBC reader writes;“Palestinian writer Raja Shehadeh (natch, you know what’s coming) uses this platform affordedo him by the BBC on Radio 4’s Book of the Week slot to promote war, the Caliphate and death to Israel. It is written seductively in a quiet manner, poetic and lyrical…but listen to the words and there is no mistaking the intent…to incite the Arab world to attack Israel and to do away … Continue reading

GREEN TO EARTH, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I was pleased to see Green MP and BBC favourite Caroline “I am not of this world” Lucas on the BBC breakfast sofa this morning stoutly proclaiming that the UK has no need for nuclear power. Apparently better house insulation, wrapping up warm and having all those vital low carbon sources of energy will do the trick. Naturally the BBC interviewers felt no need to challenge her on any of … Continue reading
