BROADCAST CONTORTIONS...
>> MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2010
For a truly chilling account of the dissembling, back somersaulting, contortionism and duplicity the broadcasting establishment is prepared to engage in to defend its alarmist approach to climate change, I recommend you have a good look at this masterly piece of forensic journalism by Tony Newton at Harmless Sky. Ofcom, Channel 4 and a spaghetti soup of useless, scheming, economical-with-the-truth "regulators" have decided that Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth is not a factual documentary, and is not a piece of outrageous, lying political propaganda, despite a high court judgment that it had to be treated with extreme caution. They make Pontius Pilate and his hand-washing look innocent. OK, Tony's post is not about the BBC, but of course those who control Channel 4 (almost all its chief executives have been ex-BBC) and Ofcom are drawn from the same smug, elite lefty-liberal cadre. What Tony has discovered is simply jaw-dropping. How do these people live with themselves?
LEADING WITH THE NEGATIVE!

How about the BBC leading coverage of the Labour Party conference with the headline "Labour not Communists"? No? How about the BBC leading their coverage of Sinn Fein's annual conference with the headline "Sinn Fein not terrorists"? No? Well, yesterday, MY party had its annual conference and the BBC headline? "TUV "not vote splitters". Marvellous. We made speech after speech saying what we ARE, and the BBC pick up on a line saying what we are not. It's in their genes.
IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST...
So, I'm back from the BBC. I was invited on to the William Crawley hosted"Sunday Sequence" show to discuss the issue of water-boarding. My opponent was the local Shamnesty International Supremo. Patrick Corrigan. I am on at 1hr 25mins. I took issue with how the debate was set up by the host and objected to the "so-called war on terror" as William put it. To my mind, that very introduction belies bias. The discussion was very short and came to a quick end as I sought to discuss Amnesty's support for the Taliban, as revealed by an Amnesty employee here (Now an ex-Amnesty employee). I find these discussion perplexing - the BBC agenda seems clear; Provide a forum for hard leftists like Amnesty to smear the US President and call for his arrest, then try to paint anyone who supports the battler against the Jihadi as an extremist, and then sit back and bathe in smug liberal contentment. It's in their genes.
