HIS MASTER'S VOICE

HIS MASTER'S VOICE

>> SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011

Here, David Rose of the Mail on Sunday does a very creditable job for the second week running in teasing out the BBC's cosy links to the eco fanatics at the University of East Anglia.

I particularly like that he has spotted that one of the Cilmategate 2 emails was from the producer of an Alan Titchmarsh series, underlining the extent to which ecomania has seeped into the DNA of almost everyone at the BBC.

Most of this info, of course, has been already revealed on this and other websites such as Bishop Hill.

But finally, parts of the MSM seem to be waking up to the climate change scam and the BBC's role as propagandist-in-chief.

Yet the BBC ploughs on regardless - perhaps the most disturbing element of the David Rose article is that despite all the shenanigans that have surfaced in the emails, the BBC still blithely insists that it is "impartial".

Meanwhile, Richard Black, the principal propagandist for the "impartial" corporation, continues to file alarmist garbage with wearisome predictability.

Here, he is lamenting that the Durban climate change boondoggle possibly won't result in an agreement, and acting as His Master's Voice for the ludicrous (we have ways of making you freeze) Chris Huhne.

Left Wing Hackette’s Shoddy Reporting Forces “Guardian” To Apologise To “The Sun” But BBC Doesn’t Notice It..

>> SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2011

Obviously the BBC has not made much of this story.....I wonder why?

Britain's Guardian newspaper was forced to apologise to Rupert Murdoch's The Sun today for falsely alleging that the tabloid's reporters doorstepped a lawyer at the phone-hacking enquiry. In an unwelcome twist for the left-leaning paper which has led efforts to expose hacking at Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World weekly tabloid, the Guardian admitted in court that its front-page claim was wrong.

Oxford educated left wing Guardian hackette Marina Hyde (“one of the funniest and most admired journalists in the UK”) might be getting the smallest Oxfam charity Christmas card this year from her editor Alan Rusbridger who had to endure the humiliation of seeing his face spread over The Sun as the tabloid helpfully pointed out

Her piece was published by editor Alan Rusbridger without any checks or calls made to The Sun. Hyde's false accusations were sent around the world on Twitter.

The much hyped Ms Hyde, the daughter of Sir Alastair Edgcumbe James Dudley-Williams, 2nd Baronet, blends in perfectly with the well born radical chic crowd at The Guardian burnishing their NW1 dinner party credentials by bashing the “rich” and the Tories. But it’s perfectly clear that this was a story that fitted so neatly into the Guardian’s Murdoch manic obsession she didn’t even bother to check it out. Epic fail. But her career will not suffer. Socialist hacks live in a risk free environment when it comes to peddling untruths because the golden rule of left wing journalism is that truth = what ought to be true rather than what is true.

There will be no explosion of indignation from media colleagues for this shoddy piece of gimcrack “journalism”.

No thundering broadsides from the BBC for it is now open season on Murdoch, not because of the hacking and blagging that anyway was probably par for the course for all tabloids, including the left wing Mirror – but because Murdoch and The Sun switched their support from Labour to the Conservatives in the final months of Gordon Brown’s tenure at No. 10 – and the many years of Murdoch supporting Labour were immediately conveniently airbrushed out of history.

Hence the lack of BBC interest in this story.

But imagine the outburst from the BBC if it had been a Sun reporter inventing stuff up about The Guardian. ..... Aaaaahhhhh....the sweet sense of liberal left hypocrisy in the morning.....

SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD

>> FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2011

Did you see that the BBC has apologised for it's biased coverage of the Dale Farm fiasco on the excreable The One Show? Well, sort of!

The popular early evening show had been accused of unbalanced journalism over its February report about the proposed site’s pending clearance.After the five minute piece was broadcast, council officials complained to the public broadcaster, accusing the show of being''inaccurate, misleading and biased in favour of the travellers''. On Thursday, the BBC Trust's editorial standards committee (ESC) published its finding on the five-minute report following a lengthy investigation.

The investigation concluded the show had been ''duly accurate'' and ''had not knowingly and materially misled its audiences''. But it found the BBC One programme had ''failed to clarify that the site had been developed on green belt land"

The BBC Trust will now offer an apology to the local authority. But it is understood The One Show will not have to make an on-air apology. As a result of its finding, editorial procedures have been “reviewed” and “strengthened” at the show, the BBC said. The report also said it had been ''unfair'' to the council in allowing a traveller to allege the local authority was ''throwing us out on the road'' with ''nowhere to go'' without giving it a right of reply.

So, that's OK then....?
