TESSA JOWELL - SPORTS MINISTER

TESSA JOWELL - SPORTS MINISTER

It seems no one has told the BBC that Tessa Jowell is no longer in Government. The shadow Olympics minister is the go-to gal for the BBC when it comes to 2012 and true to form she was afforded the prime time slot on Today this morning - with no one from the Government on! It looks like the BBC want to ensure that Labour bask in any glory of the Olympics and their flame for the dreadful Howell burns bright.

The BBC Is A Foreign Bureau Of The White House Press Office

We all knew this was coming, ever since former BBC North America editorJustin Webb fretted that the US was in denial of our massive debt and that we were veering dangerously off the cliff of default. Last we heard from his successor, Mark Mardell, the President was taking a $4 trillion "gamble", which even the current BBC North America editor recognized was a partisan stance and an attempt to roll the Republicans. He's been on a vacation ever since, no doubt exhausted after having to watch a couple Republicans announce their candidacy for President, and even attending a Sarah Palin rally. Hopefully he had plenty of scented handkerchiefs to hand. First of all, let's recognize the sickness, prejudice, and partisan bias which allows an entire professional news organization with an alleged dedication to impartiality not only to let a British Government official joke about "right-wing nutters" without challenge or rebuke while much of the human race is hearing about how someone they're also describing as a right-wing nutter slaughtered nearly nearly a hundred innocents in cold blood, but then use the insult as a running gag in news reports to defame a political party and millions of US citizens. Of course, this isn't a surprise at all, as the BBC allowed another Beeboid previously assigned to the US (Kevin Connolly) to insult hundreds of thousands of people on air with a sexual innuendo, and has no problem leaving it up on the BBC website for posterity. And we don't need to revisit Justin Webb's viciousness and personal attacks on Sarah Palin. UPDATE: In case there was any doubt about which side the BBC is on: Republicans attack Obama as they push their budget plan David Vance has already called your attention to Mardell's bias in a post below, and John Anderson has provided in the comments plenty of evidence of alternative viewpoints which show that it's really the President who is acting in partisan bad faith, as well as other examples of the BBC using the "right-wing nutter" epithet to influence their audience in a certain partisan direction. So I'm going to address specific points Mardell makes, and demonstrate just how biased he and the BBC are when it comes to supporting the leader of a foreign country.

On The Wrong Track

Jeremy Paxman’s behaviour on last night’s Newsnight was staggering. Perhaps his astonishingly aggressive demeanour was his way of bluffing the audience into thinking that social media gossip was a credible substitute for concrete evidence against the EDL. With continual interruptions, hectoring and and exaggerated facial expressions of disgust, he completely departed from interviewing and veered off unsteadily in the direction of attempted verbal assassination. I’m glad to announce that he failed to reach his destination. Stephen Lennon AKA Tommy Robinson - he has two names, so people usually call him the bloke from the EDL - had another grilling on BBC News 24 from £92,000 per annum worth of BBC anchorwoman, Carrie Gracie. However hard she tried, she just couldn’t trip him up, and she didn’t bother to conceal her frustration. Breivik’s insane killing spree has unleashed some unedifying spectacles of no-holds-barred lashing out at the ‘far right’ from the media and the BBC, and their favourite target is the EDL, which they see as the epitome of illiberalism and intolerance. The more Ms. Gracie insisted that the EDL had ‘the same objectives’ as Breivik and tried to connect him and his atrocity with the EDL as an organisation, the weaker her case became. She failed to ridicule him, trip him up, counter-argue or bully him on any level at all, but instead got herself more and more worked up, so that the whole of the following item was conducted with a rictus grin. By merely admiring the way Stephen Lennon stood up to the BBC I foresee the prospect of being inextricably associated with the EDL for ever more. But I support Israel, which already places me as a right-wing nutter, so what the hell.

NORWEGIAN PHILOSOPHERS

Here's an interesting catch from a Biased BBC reader.

"An excerpt from BBC Radio 4 --

'Norwegian philosopher Lars Gule believes he argued with Anders Breivik on an online forum, and he "did not stand out with a particularly aggressive or violent rhetoric... he was quite mainstream." '"When it comes to opinions and statements, he was not alone... it shows some of the warped sense of reality that is operating," in certain Norwegian communities, he said.' The BBC lie about who Gule is. He is not a "Norwegian philosopher" but an Islamic terrorist. As an Islamic terrorist, Gule naturally views opponents of his Arab/Muslim agenda as "warped". BBC blatantly pander to Arabs, Muslims, anti-Zionists, anti-Semites, moral and cultural relativists and the left, and use shills like Gule to promote their agenda."

MORE?

As the BBC continues to push the threat of the vast Christian right wing terror threat across Europe, it was interesting to also hear it also advance the other side of the coin on Today this morning. It seems that the correct response to the Oslo atrocity is to have MORE multiculturalism, MORE Immigration, more of the same dysfunctional elite left wing politics that had created the tensions that are manifest across many European countries. The BBC has been a champion of multiculturalism, it believes as a matter of faith that immigration is always a good thing, it sees Christianity as bad if not worse as Islam and this Oslo atrocity will now be used at proof that those who oppose the BBC's views are akin to Brievik.

THOSE BAD REPUBLICANS...

You have to laugh at the bias oozing from this piece on the looming US debt crisis from Mark Mardell. The poor BBC just cannot get their mind around the simple fact that Obama - the original man without a plan - is quite determined to push the US economy into default for petty political advantage. In the BBC meme, Obama is "the adult in the room" and those pesky GOP's the kids. Only Obama can save the economic day and isn' it time everyone buckled down and did his bidding? Certainly that is where Mardell is coming from but then again he and the rest of the courtier media have cast aside any pretence of neutrality and are simply cheer leaders for President Petulant!

ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ORIGINAL SIN

A most peculiar Thought for the Day on the Today programme this morning from Rev Dr Giles Fraser which seems to suggest the seeking economic growth is akin to original sin! Then again maybe this is not that surprising given that Rev Giles is a regular contributor to The Guardian and the Socialist Worker. (oh and a tireless crusader for gay and lesbian rights - just the sort of chap the BBC want on TFTD) I suppose this all fits with the BBC vultures gathering around the release of UK economic growth figures later this morning. The BBC anticipates that these figures will show a slow down or retraction in economic growth with the Royal Wedding being prominently used to help explain away such a slow down. It appears all our economic woes began the day the Coalition was elected and I couldn't help but wonder who was in power from 1997 to 2010 during which period the UK economy melted down.
