Biased BBC

Wednesday, April 29, 2009 David Vance # 0 OUT OF 10. I spotted this earlier, as I know others have, but this is the first chance I had to blog it. Have YOU seen the "report card" that the BBC thoughtfully commissioned on Obama's first 100 days from Prof Iwan Morgan? It's riddled from start to finish with extreme left-wing bias and no effort has been  made by the BBC to allow any commentator critical of The One to have their say on this report card. In truth, is it not fair to say that Morgan is simply expressing "the narrative" and is given carte blanche to reinforce this?

Have you read his mostrecent blog post in which he relates how the news has just reached him that Gordo has lost the Commons vote over the Gurkhas. (The last time such a thing happened it was Sunny Jim in the death throes of his administration back in 1979) However Nick goes on to say "It is proof, if any were needed, that away from the economy the prime minister is consistently misjudging issues. " Did I hear that right? Robinson is plainly implying that on the economy, the single biggest issue for most of the electorate, Brown is judging issues correctly! Is he mad? Also even in this shameful defeat in the Commons, the BBC subtly tries to save their man by handing all the plaudits to Nick Clegg. So it was the even more left wing than Hard Labour Lib-Dem's wot saved the day for the Gurkhas - were the Conservatives lost in action?

He is expected to say Pakistan - which was also on his tour - must be part of a solution to Afghanistan's problems. Wow - now who would have figured that? Brown is simply acting as a cipher for Obama here and yet when Blair did the same for Bush, he was castigated for it by the BBC. However the BBC desire to keep HMS Brown afloat at all costs means a blind eye is turned to yet another UTTERLY worthless Brown "initiative" Comments: 42 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # SWINE FEVER TO SAVE AILING  BROWN? The BBC's coverage of the putative swine flu pandemic seems to have cranked up this mornin with the front news page explaining all the wonders that Government it doing to "inform" us as to what we need to do so civilisation does not come to an end. And great to see the NHS buying 32 million face masks - for their staff, just in case. More wise allocation of finite resources. My solution is not go to Mexico, but apparently the government has decided that would be a step too far. All this pandemic hype certainly keeps Mr Brown's political woes away from the public, doesn't it? Comments: 32 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # OBAMA - THE FIRST GLORIOUS 100 DAYS. Anyone catch the tributes BBC TV was paying to the first 100 days of the era of Obama the 1st  this morning? Gushing, one-sided and the only watch-out note struck was that perhaps he had not gone far enough yet to "roll back the years of the Bush Presidency". It's not news, it's propaganda.
