So, let me get this straight. The Obama-led Democrats lose a seat in New York ninth district for the first time in 90 years and where do the BBC place the story? Well, I tried their main news portal but nothing there. However if I go to the US and Canada portal, yes there is is, just above another story telling us that poverty in the US has hit a record high. Can't wait for Mark Mardell and the rest of the Obama fan club to start spinning this one! It's certainly hope and change but not as they want to see it! Meanwhile, back on the MAIN BBC news portal, the burning issue of what Jackie Kennedy thought of other dead people. There is precious little which gets BBC hearts-a-beating than some good old fashioned Jew baiting. I was reading this report on the comments made by Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan in which he says recognising "Paletine" is an obligation, not just an option. Well, what to expect from a pig but a grunt - but this is where the BBC reports gets more interesting... I was touched to read this BBC report on Libya. You will recall we posted this a few days back concerning alleged BBC "comedian" Anthony Richardson and his not so hilarious antics. Max Farquar had also done some great work on the same subject which has resulted inthis apology. Draw your own conclusions. BBC gutted that their preferred candidate to become the next Head of the Met, Sir Hugh Orde, has been rejected in preference to Bernard Hogan-Howe. Just watch the BBC now move to try and undermine the new boy.
HOPE AND CHANGE IN THE 9TH
How Insane Is Mark Mardell?
The president had waved a copy of his hefty American Jobs Act and told them the USA had to catch up with the likes of China and North Korea in spending on high-speed rail and education.
The President of the most successful, most prosperous country in the history of the world says we need to catch up with North Korea, and the BBC US President editor is fine with it. Doesn't bat an eyelash. Okay, I admit I'm being mean. Actually, this is a mad typo. There will probably be a stealth edit tomorrow once somebody points it out to him, so I've taken a screenshot. If/when this gets fixed, I'll post it. Be honest: you thought for a moment that the President actually did say that, right? The President actually said we should emulate South Korea by adding more teachers. Yay, more government spending. I guess it's difficult to churn this stuff out, especially when one has to go out amongst the great unwashed in flyover country in search of the elusive Obamessiah supporters, so I'll be charitable here and shrug off this nutty typo. Anyways, there's something about China's high-speed rail that he doesn't want you to know about. China's high-speed rail project has so far killed 11 people, and injured a further 89 people. And it's losing money hand over fist. And Mardell thinks it's a good idea to emulate? What is it with Beeboids covering the US and China's autocratic ways? Mardell sees nothing fishy - or curiously neglects to point it out - in the President's seeking out the most sympathetic white audience He ever had, back before the 2008 election, when He was still the world's sweetheart: students. The president was talking at Fort Hayes art and design college and one pupil, 18-year-old Mel Dodge, told reporters he was an aspiring lyricist and admires Mr Obama's skills. "He chooses his words so beautifully," said the teenager. "That's why I came out here today, just to hear that in person."
That's just the kind of spiritual boost Mardell needed. Actually, it's a high school in US parlance. Which means some of them will be voting next year - like Mel Dodge - and the rest are potential noisemakers on His behalf. I know this is just a language barrier thing and not an attempt to mislead. But there's something else fishy here. LOVING ERDOGAN

The BBC's Jonathan Head in Cairo says that, while there were no new threats in the speech, it was fiery enough to sustain Mr Erdogan'sreputation as a champion of ordinary people in the Arab world without alarming Arab governments that have resisted change.
"MODERATE" ISLAM
Mustafa Abdul Jalil outlined his plans to create a modern democratic state based on "moderate Islam" to thousands of flag-waving supporters in the newly renamed Martyrs' Square. The head of the National Transitional Council has delivered his first speech in Libya's capital, Tripoli, since the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi.
"He also warned against secularism, envisaging a state "where sharia [Islamic law] is the main source for legislation".

Huh? Surely Erdogan's "reputation" is as avowed hater of Israel, devout follower of Islam, and facilitator of vicious terrorism. Mr Head should stop being coy as to WHY Erdogan is such a "champion" in the Arab world!
Great news, "moderate Islam" it is then - not the gay-hanging. adulterer stoning, limb amputating variant. But soft, what news of transgender rights and the other big issues the BBC likes to pursue?
Might be a while before we get that all important Libyan Gay Pride parade but still, it's a step in the right direction from the sounds of it...if one believes BBC analysis, that is....
