I posted a couple of days ago about the ludicrous and slavish BBC reporting of a paper which suggested that the US would be swamped by Mexican immigrants forced out by global warming. The internet has done the job (that the BBC does not do) of providing balance. This article shows that, according to GISS, Mexico is not warming; and second, the statistical basis of the claimed correlation between crop yields and movement of people is utter nonsense. What are BBC journalists being paid for? A B-BBC reader observes..,MEXICAN WAVE - PART 2

CBBC HORRIBLE BIAS
>> WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 2010
"For the most insidious kind of BBC brainwashing-stroke-propaganda, you should take a close look at a few episodes of Horrible Histories on CBBC. This 'humorous' programme, aimed, naturally, at children, is rife with politically correct reinterpretations of history.
Two days ago we were treated to a sequence demonstrating medicine in the Middle Ages. The black Arabian doctor invariably dispensed natural, workable herbal remedies, along with profound wisdom, while the white European doctor was presented as a complete barbarian, hacking off limbs for no apparent reason. In case we missed the message, we were then literally told, as fact, that European medicine was backward compared to the enlightened Arabian version.
Earlier today, we had a presentation about the British Empire . Need I even go into detail? The sequence ended with Queen Victoria singing a song about 'British Things', only to be corrected by a courtier who informed her that everything she assumed was British - such as tea, and cotton (?), etc - was in fact stolen (their word!) from poor downtrodden overseas countries.
This series is shown daily, I believe, and repeated endlessly. The drip, drip, drip of daily, anti-British propaganda is shameful and sickening."
