One of the elements of the BBC's bias is the deliberate, constant re-writing of history to fit its own narrative, and the drip-drip of its own propaganda messages. The impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil blow-out was far lessthan the panic-reporting by the BBC predicted, but the corporation hates anything to do with fossil-fuel as part of its greenie obsession, so that's not what it wants to believe. To them, according to this report this morning, Deepwater remains "one of the worst disasters in US history". What pig-ignorant cobblers. The reality is that 11 people died and a few miles of coastland has suffered from oil-related pollution. The rest of the damage was inflicted by government ineptitude, vindictiveness to BP (and British interests) and over-reaction. How can that be even remotely compared to 9/11, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 or the 1900 Galveston Hurricane? Rhod Sharp, regular host of Radio Five Live's Up All Night, returned from holiday this week and on Wednesday morning received an update about recent events from Cash Peters: This is an interesting link and the content seems to be one that the BBC eco-cultists like Richard Black have overlooked. I wonder why? A Biased BBC reader writes.. A Biased BBC reader notes..
SHEER IGNORANCE....

What makes such vapid nonsense so damaging is that it diverts attention away from the main substance of the news piece, that the Obama administration had not got the faintest idea how to deal with events, other than to blame the Brits. Shameful reporting.CASH PETERS UPDATE
>> WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 06, 2010
Cash Peters: About three weeks ago I got into a little trouble with the very first stand-in we had, I got into a little trouble. We were talking about this RightNetwork, which is a conservative network, and I was going on about how I didn't think it was very good - y'know it's sponsored by Kelsey Grammer and he's on it and I just didn't like it very much. Well, I shouldn't have said I didn't like it because apparently I'm terribly biased for saying so [*]. Well then we breezed by that, I got over that crisis, then this week Kelsey Grammer writes to me and says…
"Kelsey Grammer writes to me and says..."
Rhod Sharp: Oh, you're kidding!
Cash Peters: Yeah - he's following me on Twitter! I've now got Kel… I call it intimidation frankly, who knows what I'll say about him next? But yes, Kelsey Grammer is following me on Twitter. It's very exciting. I keep wanting to say something about him but then think nyah, better not. I better not say anything , it'll only stoke the fire.
Rhod Sharp: That's wonderful. Terrific. Terrific.
Yeah, right. Try this - whoever runs Kelsey Grammer's account decided to follow Cash Peters (probably as a consequence of Biased BBC) and Peters got the automatic "xxxx is following you on Twitter" email that everybody gets when someone follows them (such as nearly 10,000 other people have received from @Kelsey_Grammer) For the benefit of the BBC this became an 'OMG Kelsey Grammer wrote to me personally!' moment. And Rhod Sharp lapped it up. I've asked Peters about it on Twitter (yes, Twitter - like Stan with Facebook I've tried to avoid being sucked in but can resist no longer). I've had one somewhat evasive reply from him so far.
[*] "and I just didn't like it very much. Well, I shouldn't have said I didn't like it because apparently I'm terribly biased for saying so"
Where might people have got that impression? This description of RightNetwork, perhaps?"It's all 'Big business is more important than people, the rich shall not pay taxes, whatever makes a profit is far more important than people suffering.'"
Yes, nothing "terribly biased" about that at all.THE DOG IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT....
THE ASSAULT ON WESTERN CULTURE....
"The BBC's 'History of the world in 100 objects' now escalates its assault on Western culture and values, leaping with enthusiasm from telling us that we must accommodate Islamic principles into our own life if we want lasting peace by adopting pragmatic tolerance and legal equality for Islam to now openly denouncing European history and the 'Enlightenment'.
The Enlightenment is something that the Left cannot come to terms with because to endorse it and all that follows from it is to deny that every other culture and the practises therein are of equal value, morality, fairness and equal justness....just remember how many BBC staff and other 'Liberals' look wistfully to the Chinese way of doing business and tell us that Tibet is all the better for Chinese 'influence'...that perhaps Democracy is over rated if you want to get 'things' done...what things though?
The latest programme is called 'Exploitation and Enlightenment'....placing them together as if one does not come without the other. A programme that tells us of European's encounters with non-Europeans in the great Enlightenment Project....the often 'tragic consequences of European interaction with other cultures....producing a troubling history where many of these dialogues ended in oppression and destruction, the fracturing of whole societies.'
Ironic perhaps that they tell us at the same time that we must conform to the invasive Islamic norms if we want a peaceful society.
The basis of this programme is that we, the Europeans, have written the history and that the BBC is giving voice to the oppressed by using their objects to tell their tales that have remained hidden for all this time.
DOPEY DAVIS!
This came across my desk the other day, first chance to share. From the Daily Express,,,"If the BBC has any sense of integrity it will reprimand news presenter Evan Davis. Mr Davis was once the BBC’s economics editor but is now a regular presenter on Today, Radio 4’s flagship current affairs programme.
He is undoubtedly a clever man but just what did he think he was doing yesterday when he was meant to be interviewing Lord Young about the Government’s proposed reform of daft Health & Safety legislation? Instead of sticking to the brief, Davis began to crossexamine a bemused Lord Young about his views on drugs, arguing that cannabis consumption was no more dangerous than horse riding.
Lord Young wanted to talk about plans to cut red tape that stops school outings and allows interfering councils to ban harmless local events, not “spliffs” as Mr Davis referred to marijuana cigarettes.
The BBC is wrong to allow its well-paid elite, in a position of responsibility, to casually air their views on drug-taking when the issue isn’t relevant to the debate."
THE EVIL OF ENGLISH....
"The BBC has a tendency to attack the spread of the English language as cultural imperialism much like the spread of coca cola and Hollywood films, or democracy and capitalism.....history programmes and reports from foreign lands all manage to imply that English is destroying the local culture and society. For example this recent comment from From Our Own Correspondent:‘English has become the tawdry ganglord of these Johannesburg streets, the key to survival and to thriving, but underneath there are deep currents of pain, joy and rage forced into silence we can neither hear nor understand.’
There is open dismissal and distrust of a 'white, European narrative' that the BBC feels it needs to 'correct' by giving voice to the 'hidden' voices of societies crushed by our imperialism. English language is of course the tool of imperialism...in the Marxists world which is naturally the breeding ground for many in the BBC.'Here in the Marxist TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) group we believe English, in itself, is not imperialism and that learning another language can and should be an option for all. Not surprisingly, however, as the dominant ideas in every epoch are the dominant ideas of the ruling class, TEFL has become an instrument of subjugation and inequality. A justification for class society and imperial conquest"
