Alex Maskey, a convicted bank robber and senior Sinn Feinspokesman (What could be more normal than that?) is allowed to pontificate about the wrongness of the police investigation and then one of the myriad pro-Republican human rights parasites in the shape of Mike Ritchie from the Campaign Against Justice, (as I like to call them) weighs in to support the Maskey line. The BBC cannot seem to find any other politicians who support the decision by the police to question these alleged republican killers for seven days. Maybe they could try and look just a little harder, I am certain they are out there. Comments: 8 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # FRIDAY IS OBAMA DAY. Gotta love Today. This morning I heard Thought for The Day pass off Obama's teleprompter gaffe on St Patrick's Day as proof he is human (don't recall Bush getting the same generosity?) and then the BBC ran the spin that Obama "couldn't believe" that AIG were going to pay out bonuses. Since the legal provision for this was signed into law by Obama, and drafted by a senior Democrat, he is either incompetent or else he is lying - which is it and why does the BBC choose to swallow the entire Obama propaganda line? Bias - it's always there. Comments: 29 (unread) - Biased BBC Home
