Sunday, April 26, 2009 David Vance # GOOD TERRORIST, BAD TERRORIST. It's part of the BBC brief to portray certain favoured bloodthirsty terrorists as Statesmen, doves of peace even. Self confessed IRA terrorist Martin McGuinness is such a man and be sure to have a hanky ready when you read this cloying BBC report concerning how poor McGuinness has had his life threatened by, erm, other republican terrorists. The BBC chooses not to discuss the fact that when McGuinness was a senior IRA commander, many innocent men, women and children lost their lives. But that was then and this is now - and so the prospect of one terrorist being killed by another breaks BBC hearts. Comments: 14 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # TIGER TIGER, BURNING BRIGHT. More pro-Tamil Tiger propaganda from the BBC here with touching images provided, ahem, "by pro-Tiger media" allegedly shows a government air strike inside a no-fire zone and civilians fleeing. The BBC is proving a very helpful media outlet for the terrorist Tamils as they face a welcome extinction at the hands of the lawful forces of the government.

Yes, we all know that Darling/Brown's budget has been exposed as a grotesque fraud and none but the most dewy-eyed old style socialist has anything good to say about it. Still, nice to see the BBC already move into official opposition mode as it characterises the Conservative leader as"Dave the miser" Comments: 12 (unread) - Biased BBC Home sue # Rebuilding the Tension Hurry! The embers are dying, we must stir things up again before it’s too late. People have nearly forgotten about the poor Palestinians! But wait! What about the niggles over impartiality? What about Bowengate? Get Jewish Katya Adler in for some good old fashioned blatantly emotive, one-sided reporting entitled “Demolitions build Jerusalem tension” That’ll do the trick. She can present something panoramic by showing a teeny close-up. The drawback being that there’s no ‘draw back.’ The missing panoramic ‘reveal’ might reveal a bigger picture; but without it she can paint just the picture she chooses. Warning: Hatred of Israel may have subsided now that events in Gaza have been replaced by other news. There’s a danger that certain other matters could prompt some of the public to put two and two together, and, heaven forfend, it’s even possible that they could link Israel’s difficulties over Islamist fundamentalism ........with our own. Oh No! So; hey ho, hey ho, it’s off to work l go. Katya Adler sets off to inflame the anger of the reader before it’ s too late. Comments: 11 (unread) - Biased BBC Home Saturday, April 25, 2009
