  Email the Letters Editor or submit your contribution as a comment to the most recent 'General BBC-related comment thread' unless another recent comment thread is more relevant. 
  
  Biased BBC is run by volunteers in spare time, so we cannot check out or document every incident of bias. Your comments will be more credible if you are moderate in tone and can quote a URL or time, date, channel, speaker and programme.

• About Biased-BBC

  "The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It's a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people. It has a liberal bias not so much a party-political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias",

  Andrew Marr

  the Daily Mail, Oct 21st, 2006.

  
  

  "It's not a conspiracy. It's visceral. They think they are on the middle ground",

  Jeff Randall former BBC Business Editor,

  in The Observer, Jan 15th, 2006.

  
  

  "The idea of a tax on the ownership of a television belongs in the 1950s. Why not tax people for owning a washing machine to fund the manufacture of Persil?",

  Jeremy Paxman

  James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture, Aug 24th, 2007.

  
  

  "People who know a lot more than I do may be right when they claim that [global warming] is the consequence of our own behaviour. I assume that this is why the BBC's coverage of the issue abandoned the pretence of impartiality long ago",

  Jeremy Paxman

  Media Guardian, Jan 31st, 2007.

  
  

  "I do remember... the corridors ofBroadcasting House were strewn with empty champagne bottles. I'll always remember that" Jane Garvey

  BBC Five Live, May 10th, 2007, recalling May 2nd, 1997.

SPINNING FOR OBAMA

  By DB | April 16, 2012 | Uncategorized

4 Comments

For a supposedly impartial  journalist BBC News interactive’s business and technology editor Tim Weber  likes to spin US news in a rather skewed direction (h/t Jeff Waters). I think it’s safe to say he’s not a fan of the Republican Party:   The BBC’s business section – spinning for Obama, along with the rest of the BBC.

THE IONA COMMUNITY

I  wondered why it is that John Bell from “The Iona Community” is such a frequent contributor to the “Thought for the Day” programme. So I toodled over to their web site and read this…. “The Iona Community is a dispersed Christian ecumenical community working for peace and social justice, rebuilding of community and the renewal of worship.” Mmm, and then… Members’ involvement varies according to the area they live … Continue reading →
