biased bbcCOOPER ON IMMIGRATION
>> TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2011
The strange quality about BBC coverage of the Labour Party conference is the way in which 6th May 2010 has become Year Zero. The 13 years of Labour mismanagement of the economy are now being deliberately erased as if they never happened.
This, of course, is the only way that Miliband and his cheer-leaders can try and reinvent themselves and even then it is highly dubious if most people will buy the lie. I listened to a remarkable Today interview with Yvette Cooper (7.50am) on the issue of Immigrationthis morning.
Any neutral observer will accept that Labour deliberately pursued an Open Doors policy during their years in power. The traumatic consequences are transgenerational (Not least in some core Labour voting areas) and include such further disturbing facts as 40% of the growth in households between 2001 and 2008 being down to Immigration.
But Cooper has no intention of taking any responsibility for this and Naughtie has no intention of interrogating her on it. Instead, she was allowed to make general blandisments, waffle about points based rules, and then attack the Coalition.
It is stunning to see Labour get away with all this revisionism, be it on Immigation, on the Economy, on Employment, on Health, on Education - but then again when we consider that the BBC was an enthusiastic propagandist for all of this societal nihilism, may be should NOT be that surprised?
WHAT ANTI-ISRAEL BIAS?
A 25 year old Palestinian Dad is driving home with his baby son in the car when both are cruelly murdered by Jews throwing a large rock into their car. Can you imagine the publicity the BBC would afford such a story?
It never happened, of course, but THIS did. Was this savagery, to borrow a term used by Galloway towards me the other day, another example of Palestinian outreach? Why the lack of any BBC coverage?
Don't the lives of these human beings count? Don't they merit our attention - or would doing so spoil the Palestinians as most oppressed people ever narrative. You tell me.
Hat-tip to Martin.
