Biased BBC

Thursday, December 04, 2008 David Vance # QUESTION TIME WATCH. It's Thursday night and for all you who take a perverse pleasure in watching the bias that is such a distinguishing feature of Question Time, let the fun begin. Tonight the programme comes from here in Northern Ireland - although I was not given an invite for some reason. The good news is that they do have an IRA gunman on the panel, so the scent of cordite should hang over the audience. With half-wits such as Arlene Foster and bumbling Ken Maginnis, along with Mark "Where's my Party" Durkan, expect this one to even worse than normal.

Chris Moyle, "the saviour of Radio One" reckons that Polish women make good prostitutes. Nice to see the license tax being put to such good use. Moyles, who earns a mere £650,000 a year for presenting his breakfast show, told those tuning in on November 19: ‘I’ve always found in my experience prostitutes make very good cleaners, and their ironing, brilliant. I just find if you’re Polish you’re just very good at ironing...and prostitutes (they’re) very good also at fixing cars.’ Comments: 53 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # NOT DROWNING, JUST SAVING. In all the BBC's extensive coverage of what should prove to be another cut in UK interest rates today, why is the impact this has on those people who SAVE never mentioned? It strikes me that media focus is relentlessly on the plight of those who borrow - often beyond their means - whilst those people who wisely make provision for their future by saving their money are all but forgotten. It's as of saving is a sin whilst borrowing is de rigeur. I'd like to see much more attention paid by the BBC to the plight of savers...but then again, maybe they aren't the right sort of people?
