I'm bored with writing about the BBC's bias about climate change. Nothing changes. But I could not let the latest Richard Black homily pass. Here it is - an unbridled, no-praise-too-small homage to the nice, cuddly eco-warrior activists at Greenpeace. Single-handedly, according to Mr Black, these heroes have saved the whales, stopped the pollution of rivers and halted deforestation, though the nasty Indonsesian president is daring to try get in their way. I actually prefer an alternative view of Greenpeace, which is that they are thuggish, vicious louts who stop at nothing to spread posonous lies. Donna Laframbois - whose magisterial book on the lies of the IPCC is just out - has their measure. In 1994, for example, they published a scare-fest pamphlet called the Climate Time Bomb which suggested that the impacts of global warming were already leading to coral bleaching, species extinction, and widespread urban disease. Not one element of their alarmism stands the test of time. But not content with spreading such lies themselves, Greenpeace have also infiltrated the IPCC to the extent that their press releases (more lies) make it into reports without dilution or check. And - Ka-ching! - not content with that, they bank-roll so-called scientists to fabricate climate change research. Propaganda comes in many guises. In Mr Black's case, it's as subtle as a Glasgow kiss. Gavin Esler's Dateline continues to regularly serve up panels where all four guests come from the Left. Today's cast list was: - Abdel Bari Atwan, 'al-Quds al-Arabi' (the programme's most regular guest) - Agnes Poirier, of the left-wing french magazine 'Marianne' (and a very regular columnist for the 'Guardian', which Esler opted not to mention) - Yasmin Alibhai Brown, the 'Independent' - Dr Vincent Magombe, Africa Inform International As a result, viewers got a one-sided set of views, some of which were very, very silly: 1. THE RESIGNATION OF DR FOX Dr Magombe thought it boded ill for the government and complained about "the extreme antiques of the Conservatives", especially the "outrageous things" they are saying about immigration. "The tone that the Conservatives always use in this debate really just shows normal people that they are extreme in their beliefs," he said. YAB attacked Fox. Agnes said "I'm not going to cry over Dr Fox's departure. It a good thing for Europe because he was one of the really staunch Europhobic ones in cabinet". 'Bari' talked Tory "sleaze", recalling the last Conservative government (but forgetting who was in power from 1997-2010, and all their sleaze.) That was pretty much it! Yes, I know, Katty was talking about the Occupiers in New York, but her report was meant to give you the idea that they're all mostly nice, civic-minded, and righteous. Mark Mardell is still convinced that the Tea Party movement is driven by crypto-racism. So by his logic, we can use the following to state unequivocally that the Occupier movement is driven by anti-Semitism. Check it out, and wake me up when the same BBC which spent two years telling you we're all racists because we opposed Socialist policies report this: How about it, BBC? Any thoughts? If you tell me this is an outlier and not worthy of smearing an entire movement, then the majority of BBC reporting on the Tea Party is discredited. An amusing report on the LA scene can be found here. Note that the majority of the crowd is hideously white. But that doesn't imply anything about their motives, right, BBC? And this kind of anti-Jew sentiment was on display in New York as well. Curiously, Katty Kay and Laura Trevalyan failed to spot it. Or did they? I note that a court in Tajikistan has convicted a local BBC reporter ofspreading banned Islamic propaganda despite international pressure to acquit him. Tajikistan has been clamping down on the press this year as it tries to defeat a growing Islamic insurgency which has threatened to destabilise the former Soviet state. Naturally, the BBC doth protest his INNOCENCE.
