Biased BBC

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 David Vance # BREAD AND CIRCUSUS Sorry to interrupt the Obama-fest the BBC is indulging in today but I thought that after the Great Leader announced his latest financial wheeze to save the world yesterday, it would be interesting to see how are things are now looking? Well, RBS share price has collapsed by more than 70% so ensuring that the prospect of the socialisation of this institution grows more likely by the day. The Pound has plunged further the Dollar and the Euro. None of this is evident on the main BBC news portal however which cheerily informs us that inflation is due to fall later today. Hurray - Gordon's plan is working - if you look very hard! Never mind the economic tsunami, get back to watching the coronation in DC.... Comments: 11 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # DAILY BLOOD LIBEL. The blood libels carried on a daily basis by the BBC against Israel continued again this morning on Today during an item from Gaza when one of those very vocal "doctors" the BBC seems so adept at finding was allowed to allege that Israel soldiers had been going around shooting innocent people and then just leaving them to die. On top of this, we had some of the residents of Hamas infested Rafah claiming that there were no Hamas "fighters" in Rafah. Not one. Again, just one point of view permitted on the BBC. No Jews need apply. Comments: 12 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # OBAMAMANIA. Well, there's no escaping the fact that Obama is to be sworn in today as 44th President of the United States and as you can see here, the BBC are worshipping at his feet. What a contrast with those occasions when a Republican was sworn into office! It appears in BBC parlance that only a Democrat can "unite" the nation (and planet) whereas Republicans only divide. I caught Justin Webb on Today earlier - revolting Obama sycophancy. I caught an item alleging how the US was literally falling apart because of lack of "investment" in infra-structure. It seems that no other President has considered these issues and so it will take The One to make it all right. Let us be be clear; today is one vast left wing love-in, with the BBC spending vast amounts of our money to ensure that they push the virtues of their man now in the White House. The smiling media faces, the sanitised coverage - get used to it - this is how it will be. Objectivity and critical analysis are out the window - fall at his feet and worship.

Nice to see the BBC putting such a favourable spin on the inflation-busting increase in Council taxes due in April. Note the disclaimer helpfully inserted in the very first sentence and then the use of the CPI to also help make us all feel that we are getting a good deal from the little tyrants that run local Councils. Further, the question is not what inflation is setting at now but rather where will it be in April when the new council taxes kick in! In fairness, Conservative Eric Pickles does get his say - but you have to wade more than half ways down the page to see that. Comments: 41 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance #
