THE EVIL EMPIRE
>> FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2010
BBC hatred of Rupert Murdoch is thinly disguised, if at all, and I commendthis "debate" between Evan Davis, William Shawcross and Henry Porter for your interest. Shawcross makes some very positive comments about the contribution made by Murdoch to the British media whilst Porter venomously attacks Murdoch. That's fair enough in my view - two contrasting opinions. What irritates is the fact that it is clear that Davis inserts himself in the same camp as Porter so the debate is loaded 2 against 1 with Porter being afforded the final word, naturally. It always strikes me as ironic to hear the BBC waffle about monopoly media power given the £3billion it extracts from us each year. Moat in the eye and all that, I'm afraid. I suppose the fact that Murdoch spoke at the inaugural Margaret Thatcher lecture was too much for the leftist bleeding hearts that infest Today?
THE VOICE OF SCOTTISH BBC IMPARTIALITY
Have a read of this interesting document. Go to page 25 to find out the thoughts of Pete Murray, President of the National Union of Journalists and Senior Broadcast journalist with BBC Scotland . He's asked to identify his biggest "villain" and this is what he says;
"Margaret Thatcher and all her successors who have send millions of people to the dole queues, smashed working class communities and taken Britain to war to try and rescue their political fortunes"Whilst pondering that little gem, remember the words of Helen Boaden "Impartiality is in our genes".
