Biased BBC

Saturday, September 06, 2008 David Vance # POSTSCRIPT. Yes, I know I said I was finished with the US election for the week but the BBC were at their work again this morning and I will not let it pass. Just after 7.15am, Ed Stourton and Sarah Montague were doing a quick review of the papers. They mentioned the unfortunate fact (for them) that the Palin bounce had moved McCain equal to the Chosen One in the polls but Ed went on to trail the Independent's pathetic hatchet-job on Palin today, with Montague sniggering at the suggestion that Palin's environmental record was "even worse that that of Bush".Then, to finish the week, Naughtie was wheeled on to share his summary of the events of the past two weeks. This distilled down to the fact in his view the candidates had more in common than you might think (rubbish!) and that on the downside, McCain did have the "age" issue and the reputation of being cranky whereas Obama has the "otherness" of his race. Come on Jim, just have the guts to come out and say that along with the rest of the loathsome BBC, you worship Obama and have been stung at what McCain/Palin have achieved this past week. 60 days to go, 60 more days to indulge in more sly and not so subtle character assassination. I'll be here to make damn sure it is documented. Comments: 8 (unread) - Biased BBC Home Friday, September 05, 2008 David Vance # A TALE OF TWO ECONOMIES. I found this interesting. Go here and review the BBC's take on the US economy - in a glance. Pretty dire stuff, eh? And no hint of bias, right? Well, then again if you go here you might want to think twice about that.
