    The question is who released this video?….presumably it was a BBC film …….if so why was the video released?…..and was it meant to embarrass the government in some way?….a bit of a misjudgement there from any reasoned perspective….only the BBC comes out badly.

    The Daily Mail reports the episode (but of course puts its own spin on it….Government embarrassed apparently….not sure why as Craig is spot on and has the BBC bang to rights)

    ‘Mr Oliver said he was ‘genuinely shocked’ by the report, telling Mr Smith: ‘I have rarely seen such partial reporting of an event and I think Jeremy Hunt will be, rightly, deeply upset by that.’ ‘Genuinely shocked’: Craig Oliver, Downing Street’s director of communications, complained about an item on the BBC’s Six O’Clock News Accusing the BBC correspondent of broadcasting ‘opinion rather than impartial reporting of the facts’, He complained the report had not mentioned that, in a memo to Mr Cameron prior to being given quasi-judicial oversight of News Corp’s bid to take over BSkyB, the Culture Secretary had said that the decision should be kept ‘at arm’s length’ from Government. He pointed out that the most senior civil servant at the Culture Department had that day told the Leveson Inquiry Mr Hunt had given himself very little room for political manoeuvre by referring the bid to independent regulators. It was wrong to suggest that Mr Hunt was ‘lobbying’ on behalf of News Corp when he sent his memo to Mr Cameron, as the Prime Minister was taking no part in the decision on the BSkyB bid, said Mr Oliver.’

    So BBC caught red handed fixing the game….

    …not having any context to the BBC reports (about PM and Jeremy Hunt), for misreporting what was actually happening and therefore giving a completely false impression to the viewer, for not reporting that the PM had no power to intervene in the BSkyB bid (he had removed himself from the decision making process) and so Hunt’s memo could not be ‘lobbying’, that Labour claims were being reported but there was no balancing answers or attempt to question those Labour claims.

    Oh dear! indeed.

      The defenders of the BBC are out in force in the comments section of that DM article. Normally on the Mail any anti-BBC story comes with comments that are massively anti-BBC but this story seems to have picked up a large following in support of the BBC. I smell some little game being played by the BBC and their supporters here.

      With the way over the top wall to wall coverage of Leverson by the BBC being noticed by more and more in the MSM is this being deliberately spun by the BBC to deflect any flak heading towards them as simply Tory sour grapes.

      ABU QATADA MEANS NO WORRIES

      Have a read of this piece published by the BBC concerning that lovable old Jihad preaching rogue Abu Qatada. Get the feeling that it is slightly unbalanced? It’s clear the BBC want Qatada to stay, whether out of mendacious delight in the humiliation this would bestow upon Theresa May or just because whoever is the enemy of the British people is the friend of the BBC.

      THE SHAMBLES..

      Interesting to read the BBC’s lead story in their UK news this morning – namely the Labour assertion that the Coalition “u-turn” on hot pasties and caravan tax proves what a “shambles” Government policy is. Labour’s Rachel Reeves is given some very impressive headlines which certainly must make Miliband happy and which will keep the momentum going that may help Labour return to power in 2015. Now I do agree … Continue reading →

      THAT EGYPTIAN RISING

      It has become an article of faith at the BBC that the “Arab Spring” was an unambiguously good thing, an assertion of democratic intent by the downtrodden masses as they spontaneously rise up against those who suppressed them. I remember being on a BBC programme at the time and saying that some people might dispute this analysis and indicated that it was Islam rising, to the obvious horror of the … Continue reading →

      Just how influential might the BBC be compared to other media organisations? Biased BBC contributor Alan explains… “59% of public trust the BBC for news. 5% Sky News. No other source gets a value above 2%…the Sun and the Times get a trust value of a mere 1% each. So, lots of influence for Murdoch there.If Murdoch and his stable had been so influential with politicians who were ‘running scared’ of him how … Continue reading →

      Last year, a book about the President came out in which it was revealed that His White House was a hostile workplace for women. Even the lapdog US media had to talk about it, although they quickly moved on. The BBC censored all news of it, because it made the President look bad. Now another one is coming out, and the mainstream US media is all over it. Once again, … Continue reading →

      It’s strange how the BBC can take almost any issue and use it to advance the notion that whatever the problem the answer is always more Nanny Statism. Take the story of the 63 stone Welsh teenager, Georgia Davis, who was “allowed” to become so large that she needed to be cut free from her house after collapsing with breathing problems. The BBC had Sunday Times columnist Minette Marrin and … Continue reading →

      “Day-o, Day-ay-ay-o BBC come and me wan’ go home….” Harry Belafonte is the sort of guy guaranteed a warm welcome from the BBC and so it proved this morning on Today at 8.20am. Sarah Montague fawned over Belafonte, the “activist and singer” as the BBC so carefully describe him. Treating him as a latter day combination of Martin Luther King meets Ghandi, Sarah seemed strangely disinterested in exploring some of … Continue reading →

      Here is an incident which the BBC, along with other liberal media bastions like CBS, refuses to report. Based on the BBC’s record of selectively biased reporting, one can be certain that if those evil Jewish “obstacle-to-peace” settlers had carried out such an act, the BBC would make it their lead story!

      This rather interesting take on BBC reluctance to say anything critical of Obama was brought to my attention by one of our regular readers; “Another failure by the Obama administration which is causing outrage over The Pond, yet the name of Ali Musa Daqduq cannot be found on the BBC News search engine. http://www.michaelyon-online.com/letter-to-president-obama-in-reference-to-ali-musa-daqduq.htm and a video of Alan West appears here: http://dtrtministries.com/tag/ali-musa-daqduq/ It’s as if the BBC conceals things … Continue reading →

      Biased BBC contributor Alan observes how Martin Ivens has given the BBC a ‘fisking’ in the Sunday Times for never admitting it has a ‘dog in this fight with Murdoch’….and Thompson’s ‘most flagrant breach of the BBC’s impartiality obligations in its 90 year history’….and asks ‘who watches the watchmen?’. Not sure who watches them but I was listening on Friday to ‘Book of the Week’ and it gave us a … Continue reading →

      Biased BBC’s Alan brings a curiously non-judgemental piece on a Labour MP here: ‘A Labour MP has branded a fellow train passenger a “lager drinking oaf” and suggested he should “have been killed before he could breed”.’ If that had been said by a Tory imagine the outcry….in fact wasn’t some one hounded just for using the word ‘breed’ a while back? ‘Howard Flight (millionaire banker, euro sceptic and Peer)criticised … Continue reading →
