Always remember than BIAS is in their genes. Consider the thoughts of Katty Kay, the BBC’s Washington correspondent on the Tea Party… “And the Tea Party is saying we don’t care about whether it’s in the country’s interest, in our foreign policy interest, in our economic interest necessarily to deal with the President. What we want is to be the party that obstructs Barack Obama. Many of them ran specifically … Continue reading
How bad was it? Check out this review by an anti-war TV critic at Metro: Let’s nail some colours to the mast. I marched against the war in Iraq and I’m no supporter of British military action in Afghanistan. But even so, it was hard not to feel a knot of revulsion growing in the stomach at the twisted portrayal of the Army that was shoved down our throats in … Continue reading
Anyone who heard BBC radio 4 and BBC World Service news this morning might have been surprised, and perhaps dismayed, to hear the headline, broadcast several times over in ominous tones, that Israel is about to construct a new ‘hi-tech’ wall on its border with Egypt. Someone in the BBC headline department evidently thought it would make an interesting headline. The listener, probably cross at still being stranded atop the … Continue reading
Oh how sweet! From the Irish Independent today… “The BBC’s Newsnight programme has been accused of “racist” stereotyping over a bulletin about Britain’s role in the international bail-out for Ireland. Viewers complained that scenes depicting a cut-out of British Chancellor George Osborne dancing across sepia images of the Irish countryside were offensive. Comments by Mr Osborne about supporting the country through its financial crisis also flashed on the screen in a … Continue reading

Don’t know if you caught the blatant Euro propagandising the BBC has been up to here. All of a sudden, wee Georgie Osborne is a BBC hero, much loved, because he said that the UK wants to see the Euro saved. Funny old world, isn’t it? And what about those evil Euro-sceptics who take advantage of the Irish meltdown to point out the folly of EMU? How very dare they… … Continue reading
What turns my stomach completely about BBC reporting of so-called climate change is that reporters systematically ignore the key issues such as that the rise in fuel prices demanded by eco freaks is causing massive hardship. Meanwhile Richard Black goes on reporting the frenzied but trivial outpourings of the world global warming industry scam – those thousands of “scientists” engaged in alarmist frenzy that are paid by governments, multi-nationals and … Continue reading
Interesting to contrast Andrew Marr’s style of interviewing Ed Balls (Soft) and Michael Gove (harsh)on his programme this morning. Good for Gove for describing Marr’s mindset as “North Korean!” Best moment of the morning! Gove is spot on, of course, if somewhat unfair to the Dear Leader.The BBC would not be out of place in North Korea with its totalitarian mindset. It IS an anachronism here in the UK. Click … Continue reading
I think it is all too evident that the BBC has an anti-military pro pacifist agenda which informs much of its output. Now read on… The head of the British army has complained to the BBC about a drama showing bullying among troops in Afghanistan, calling it “deeply offensive to all those serving”. Sir Peter Wall has written to BBC director general Mark Thompson about the programme, Accused, said the … Continue reading
Most websites have a defined flavour, philosophy or political outlook, but categorising and compartmentalising things too readily leads to dismissing them out of hand, and B-BBC is lumbered with, and perhaps hampered by, a right-wing label or some other hackle-raising tag such as Zionist, which serves only to obstruct communication.I’m sure many B-BBCers scroll past my contributions. That is a pity, but abstention is preferable to ill-informed anti-Israel sniping. As … Continue reading
