Guido had the goods here yesterday and now the Mail today. B-BBC contributor Alan makes some very valid points here.. "The recent 'BEST' report, not peer reviewed, on world temperature changes, was cited as evidence by Richard Black that the sceptics are wrong.....and that Phil Jones of the CRU has been proven to be a truthful and honest reporter of facts (despite absolute evidence from the emails and indeed the science itself to the contrary). Now it seems the BEST report and the conclusions drawn by one of its authors were best taken with a pinch of salt. The temperature hasn't risen for over a decade, there is no proof that warming is the result of man's activities to any large extent.....North America and Northern Europe have been cooling. I wonder how Black will get out of this one.....having reported so enthusiastically and uncritically something that he believes rather than taking a professional, objective view? Black aside the BBC are adopting more slippery tactics in persuading us that global warming is having seriously detrimental effects on the world...and it never mentions any benefits." When you look at this video and then you read this BBC story, you wonder if we are living on the same planet. BBC staff should don Keffiyehs when reading out every story on Israel as the visual cue for what is a patently underlying contempt for Israel and a cloying support for whatever trash the Palestinians put out. Here's the sort of thing that appeals to the BBC's Europe correspondentMatthew Price, he deemed it worthy of retweeting. aturally his tweets say nothing about the BBC. I'd like to ensure that as and from this post going up, fellow writers do their best to use that they use the "below the fold" facility to keep as many posts as possible up on the main entry page to the site. I think this helps our reader contribute as fully as possible to the many excellent posts. Thanks for your help and for your continued support. You can always rely on the BBC to paint Israel in the blackest colours. Take this headline currently running on the BBC portal "Israel strikes Gaza after "truce". You have to do some reading to understand that this is all a consequence of Hamastan firing rockets into Israel in the hope of some random killing of Jews. The English-language news station France 24 with its youthful, well-informed presenters makes BBC News 24 seem parochial. France 24's extensive coverage of Gilad Shalit’s homecoming was, from what I’ve heard, broadly similar to the BBC’s. It was the main topic for the best part of two days. The French are conscious that the Shalit family are French-Israeli, but nevertheless their coverage of the released Palestinian prisoners and their families, and the jubilant celebrations by massed Palestinians and their leadership appeared more than even handed. Did I detect that the implication of moral equivalence was more muted chez France 24? I’m not sure. We saw snippets from Gilad’s notorious interview with Egyptian TV, the off camera Hamas minder was as invisible in France as he was here, and the translation as selective. Shalit was quoted as expressing hopes for peace, whereas the Palestinians were said to be calling for “more Gilads”. Gilad’s haunted, gaunt appearance spoke volumes, whereas one particular Palestinian returnee hero, his countenance brimming with glee and good health was filmed uttering: “They [the Israelis] treated us like dogs!” (He must’ve meant like the British treat dogs. With his shiny coat and waggy tail he certainly looked full of Pedigree Chum) The biggest difference between the BBC and French television’s news coverage, apart from endless analyses of the ‘Euro crisis’ was the amount of time devoted to foreign affairs, and in particular Tunisia. Well, they would be interested, wouldn’t they. BBC bias flows from the top of the corporation. Lord Patten, the chairman of the trustees - that body that supposedly polices and enforces impartiality- is a foaming-at-the-mouth Europhile, as this interview shows. And now it has been revealed that Diane Coyle, his deputy - a fatcat quangocrat and former Indy financial journalist cosily married to BBC reporter Rory Cellan Jones - has accepted a role as advisor to the shadow business secretary and climate change zealot Chuka Umunna. According to the reports, this is despite being told by trust director Nicholas Kroll that such work would be a "conflict of interest". The real scandal goes much deeper. It defies belief that Ms Coyle was appointed to her role at all...because in her case a leopard does not change its spots. Without doubt, Ms Coyle shares Lord Patten’s unmoderated enthusiasm for the EU. She wrote in the Independent in 1999:

ROTTEN TO THE CORE
The defenders of sterling are, in the main, a group of elderly men with more stake in their past than in our future. They clothe their gut anti-Europeanism and Little Englandism in the language of rational economic argument (quoted in Peter Oborne's Centre for Policy Studies booklet The Guilty Men)
. Also according to Mr Oborne, the following year, Ms Coyle was equally vehement in her dismissal of the idea that an inflationary boom in Ireland was caused by the euro. She maintained that it was Eurosceptics who supported such views . Ms Coyle also supports the EU in its lunatic climate change-related policies. This is evident in a book she wrote in 2011, The Economics of Enough. Thisis an interview she gave about her work: Diane Coyle, author of The Economics of Enough, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the future and the ideas in her book. Coyle argues that the financial crisis, the entitlement crisis, and climate change all reflect a failure to deal with the future appropriately. The conversation ranges across a wide range of issues including debt, the financial sector, and the demographic challenges of an aging population that is promised generous retirement and health benefits. Coyle argues for better measurement of the government budget and suggests ways that the political process might be made more effective
Ms Coyle shares with Lord Patten yet another cosy - and no doubt highly lucrative - climate change, love-the-EU role. She sits with him as an advisor to EDF Energy. And EDF is one of greedy, grasping power companies that tells monstrous porkies about climate change in order get as many subsidies into its fat maw as it possibly can. The issue here is beyond parody. Ms Coyle is an EU-loving, Labour luvvie who has spent her life nakedly pushing her political views. That she is a trustee at all is a disgrace - and confirms yet again that the corporation is rotten to the core.

Sheikh Ali Gomaa. Who is he? Well, he's the kind of guy the BBC likes to champion as a "moderate"- one of those voices in the Islamic world that cries out for peace love and harmony. Unless you are a Christian in which case, I am afraid, he declares you are "an infidel".
