SYNCHRONICITY...

SYNCHRONICITY...

>> TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2009

All so contrived. Over there the BBC glowingly reports Obama's lecture to the US Financial Institutions the punchline being "they" have not learned the lessons of the mistakes "they" made which caused the financial meltdown. Meanwhile, over here, the BBC reports the left wing IPPR taking the same line. They even given McDoom a chance to weigh in with his bellicose warning that there is "unfinished business" with the banks. I am sure many will take the view that poor management practices in the banking sector were central to what has happened but so was poor political judgement and at no time does the BBC seek out anyone to posit this view. Instead, it's just an all out assault on those wicked risk-taking capitalists. All hail the State and the State Broadcaster that continually shills for it.

HEROIN CHIC

The BBC's attitude towards illegal drugs is always suspect and thus when we read this story - which claims that if the State funds heroin addicts habits this then leads to a drop in the crime they carry out-it is right to be suspicious that we are being retailed a political line. I suppose the BBC quite ikes the idea that the British taxpayer funds heroin junkies, and sees no moral issues whatsoever, but I would have thought that they could have found someone - such as Theodore Dalrymple (aka Anthony Daniels)- who takes an opposing view on this issue and thus provide a degree of balance. No such luck.

CELEBRATE!

>> MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2009

My thanks to reader Gigits for bringing this celebration of shoe-throwing to my attention. Any chance to bash Bush, eh? It strikes me that along with Lady Thatcher, GWB is the BBC's most hated person.

DOBBO ON NEWSNIGHT

Anyone catch Frank Dobson bullying his way through a "discussion" on Newsnight? He constantly repeated the NuLabour fantasy that "the bankers" were exclusively to blame for the financial recession. Peston then did a piece claiming the recession was now effectively over in parts of the world such as Japan, and his punchline was that the failure (of Bush) to "save" Lehmans was a prime component in the seismic changes that swept the world. A very connived BBC agenda tonight folks. Note how GOVERNMENT is absolved of all responsibility in the UK but blamed in the US when it was a GOP Presidency.

OBAMA AND THE BANKERS...

Glowing report here from the BBC concerning Obama's speech to the US Financial institutions. The Lightworker declares that "We will not go back to the days of reckless behaviour and unchecked excess at the heart of this crisis."Obama's big plan is to intrude further into the private sector and seek to control it more. Based on this BBC report, everyone agrees with him which begs the questions as to where all those "tens of thousands" of people who marched through DC the other day come from? Why can the BBC not provide space to those in the US and elsewhere who consider that more government is not the answer, but rather the problem?

THE MINUTE YOU WALKED IN THE JOINT........

Anyone catch Lord Mandelson ducking and diving with Jim Naughtie on Today this morning? The big lie being perpetuated this morning was that Labour would "spend wisely" whereas the evil Conservatives would...gasp...CUT vital public services! (The sort that Comrade Barber was on earlier to defend) In fairness to Jim, he tried to get Mandy to say "cuts" when it came to Labour plans but the adroit Lord Rio avoided the use of the word. I got the impression that Naughtie wanted Mandelson to state that the hated Trident might be up for the axe but again, the slippery Lord left the doors all open.

THE BBC GO TO WASHINGTON - BUT MISS THE STORY!

>> SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2009

Predictable. Have you read the BBC's coverage of the huge rally of Americans in DC unhappy at The One and his Obamacare plans? It starts by telling us that there were "tens of thousands" of people there (underplay) before then hailing the fact that the Lightworker addressed a crowd of 15,000 adoring supporters. The MSM has been caught out by the scale of the protest and there is a clear attempt to play down the significance of this dissent. The BBC then shows clear bias when it states " The health care plans currently being considered in Congress are all attempting to expand coverage, while also reforming the system to prevent spiralling costs." That's an opinion. Plenty of Americans see the health care plans being considered in Congress as poorly considered and likely to massively increase costs. That's also an opinion. Why does the BBC only parrot one pov?

TALKING IN THE DARK...

Comrade Barber of the TUC has his ludicrous economic assessment carried by the BBC here. The odd thing is that Barber gets space for his contention that it would be madness to deal with the burgeoning public sector debt by..erm.. cutting it. McDoom gets space to say all is well. Vince Cable even gets space to have his have it all ways say...but, I think ONE party is all but ignored. Can you guess which one? Barber even gets a veiled threat to public safety in the last but one sentence. The BBC does not pursue it, naturally. As we approach the GE, the BBC will work with the Union baronsto ensure that Cameron is as boxed in as is possible so that any post election propensity to axe the bloated State sector is minimised. Self-interest is clearly a driving force here!
