ASK DOCTOR BEN...

>> SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2010

BBC Sunday Morning Live Does prison work? "No" says Rasta "Dr" Benjamin Zephaniah on Sunday Live. "No" says the Christina Rees the very opinionated lady from the General Synod. "Yes It could work" says Ian Collins. So, three panellists but two stating that Prison does not work. That's the BBC vision of balance. This is how they operate - the majority view is traduced by careful manipulation and the liberal hand-wringing agenda is presented as somehow being "mainstream". Zephaniah is never off the BBC, he's another one of their stool pigeon favourites who can be relied upon to spout the drivel that they believe. Because he has dreadlocks, it is not possible to contradict him, obviously, since that might be....r-a-c-i-s-t. Mind you, I did laugh when he stated, without irony apparently, that "not everyone can be a poet".

RALLY FOR SANITY

I'm sure the Islington sophisticates at the BBC were horrified at the fantastic success Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally in Washington DC. So when leftist comedian Jon Stewart organises his counter rally for DC, the BBC can be relied upon to cast it in as favourable a light as possible. Go to the story headed "Ruly Mob" on the main news portal that has the that leads to the story "A rally for sanity". Get the picture? Maybe you need a little more guidance so just read what BBC correspondent Finlo Rohrer has to say, it's all so cute, such an innocent rally full of non-partisans. And not even a mention of those pictured below carrying placards showing Republican with Hitler style moustaches. Maybe Finlo missed that? As we approach the US Mid Terms the BBC has gone into full defense mode - denying that poster boy Obama is responsible for the devastation about to hit his Party.

MARRED BY BIAS

Alright, this one causes me to stir from my B-BBC slumber. I'm talking about the Andrew Marr Show this morning which has been an utter disgrace even by the wretched standard of the BBC. We had token Tory Iain Dale on who could be relied upon to join in the BBC mockery of the Tea Party people in the States and true to form he lived down to expectations. (Hope the cheque is a good one, Iain) The Conservative Party here in the UK could learn from how the Tea Party has energised, motivated and in a few days will history. Instead we have a Conservative joining with with Dame Helena Kennedy and Marr himself in denigrating those in the Tea Party. Let's see their faces on Wednesday morning. Next up we we had guilty Jew actress Miriam "Nursy"Margoyles on to express her horror at what "our side" is doing to those poor helpless Palestinians. Apparently she has been to "Palestine" (Not sure where that is) and it's all too awful what the Jews are doing to the innocents there. You'll never get a Jewish person on with Marr who condemns the Jijad-supporting Palestinians and robustly supports Netanyahu - wrong attitude you see. A guilty Jew, a gay Conservative - the BBC picks its guests very carefully.

Sometimes Racial Voting Is Approved by the BBC

>> SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2010

The BBC approves of voting for one's own ethnicity: when it's Mexicans doing it. Border politics in Texas ahead of the mid-terms I know I'm late in getting to this, but it's been a long week. In any case, at the beginning of the clip (just after the intro voice over) listen to what the candidate on the stage says: "...we need workers..." Remember that for later. Andy Gallacher is in a town where both the Democrat and Republican candidates are Mexican-American. The Democrat (the guy who says we need workers) says it's an honor to be elected to serve, and diversity is what makes this country great. We've all heard that before. Gallacher talks about how the race of candidates matters, but asks, since both candidates are of Mexican descent, how do the voters feel now? He gets a couple of Mexican-American vox pops to say that issues are more important than race. What a shock. For what seems at first like no reason, Gallacher then speaks to a Mexican-American academic who says his research shows that, regardless of what they say beforehand, most people vote for the race in the end. The Beeboid even helpfully says, "for their own kind". In stark contrast to all BBC reporting about white people, either in the US or UK, this is presented as a good thing. Hispanics need Hispanic representation. Never mind any non-Hispanics living in the area. If one non-white ethnic group has the majority, then it's important for someone of that ethnicity to represent them in government. I say it seemed at first there was no reason for Gallacher to bring in this academic to talk about racial voting because both candidates are of the same ethnicity. So why talk about whether or not the voters will vote for a Hispanic candidate? It's a moot point. Then we got to the part where he talks to the Republican candidate. Horrifyingly, he's wearing a US flag pin on his lapel. He says he's proud to be an American, while still being proud of his heritage. But for him, American comes before Mexican, as one is his cultural background and the other is his country. He also has lighter skin, no ethnic mustache, and no trace of the Mexican accent like his Democrat opponent does.
