Good article yesterday explaining how the BBC's Roger Harrabin their 'Enviromental Analyst' oganised enviroment seminars for BBC executives.
BBC insiders say that the close links between the BBC and the University of East Anglia's two departments the Climate Reseach Centre and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Reseach have had a significant impact on its coverage.
One of the BBC's key aims was to portray the Climate Change debate as settled and to keep Climate Sceptics off the air.
The BBC was successful on both scores but then being INSTITUTIONALLY BIAS that is hardly surprising.
This site highlights a series of issues that I have noticed in The BBC over the years - mostly related to the Institutional Bias in The BBC.

#149 -WAR - Dale Farm inquiry.
Surprise surprise in the Daily Mail yesterday was the story that a BBC report on their own coverage of the Dale Farm protest was BIAS!!
A BBC spokesman said 'We note the findings which we have taken very seriously'
Like hell they have, these are just words, they never take any notice of reports which prove their bias as they are INSTITUTIONALLY BIAS.

# 147 WAR - Financial crisis.
When oh when is the BBC going to report that the EU only has two options.
1. Break up the Euro Zone now and suffer some pain.
2. Keep trying to postpone the inevitable collapse of the Euro Zone and suffer worse pain later when it collapses.
When hell freezes over is my guess.

# 146 - WAR - Question Time Thursday 3rd November 2011.
David Dimbleby was his usual bias self tonight allowing Ed Balls to go on and on without interruption and yet drumming his fingers on the table when Peter Hitchens was in full flow.
David Dimbleby is past his best before date and so much part of the bias BBC as to be painful to watch.

# 145 - WAR - Jeremy Vine Wednesday 2nd 2011.
Yesterday on the BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine show (about 1hr 10mins in), he interviewed Bill Cash and Theresa Gorman. They were discussing whether the original Eurosceptic ' Bastards' should be recognised for 'being right all along'.
Then what did they do? They allowed 'Victoria" on, who lives in Luxembourg. And works for the EU. You've never heard such brainless propaganda, including the usual "3 million of our jobs are tied to the EU". Someone should have been given the chance to refute this utter rubbish but the bias BBC finished with Victoria leaving the listener with her propaganda ringing in their ears.

# 144 - WAR - The EU and growth and unemployment.
Under normal circumstances if the BBC are interviewing somebody and they say its 'BLACK' the BBC will ask are they sure it isn't 'WHITE'! Most of the time this is healthy reporting.
However on the EU the BBC never aggressively challenges pro EU statements. I believe this is directly related to the soft loans the EU has given the BBC and also because in the main the BBC doesn't wish to upset the pro EU views of the political establishment who after all determine their funding via the licence fee.
So when Nick Clegg was interviewed this morning on Radio 4 about growth and jobs he was allowed to get away with repeating the Europhile's mantra that our growth and 3 million jobs were dependent on the EU. This happens to to be completely untrue and provably so but the BBC are never going to let the truth get in the way of their general support for the EU.
Just imagine how the BBC would have treated Mrs Thatcher in an interview if she had offered the opinion that the EU was bad for growth and jobs!! I would have bet a fair amount that the BBC would have come back with the opposing point of view.
For all the reports and weasel words that the BBC are doing something about their deeply ingrained bias it is crystal clear they are still as bias as ever.

# 143 - WAR - The BBC omissions on the recent riots and Libya.
1.The BBC hates the popular Daily Mail which sells over 2million copies a day and yet continually quotes form the Guardian and Independent which sell 279,368 and 185,035 respectively.
So today the Mail covers the story that rioters from 44 countries have been locked up as a result of the riots and yet not a squeak from the BBC. The BBC no longer covers the news but only reports the stories that fit in with its overall left of centre views.
2. Have you noticed how the BBC reports that Gaddafi impoverished his people in Libya.
Well the facts are rather different but don't expect the BBC to let the facts get in the way of their reporting.
If you compare the GDP per capita of the following countries the results are:-
Libya - 14,000
Tunsia - 9400
Eygpt - 6200
Syria - 4800
What good is the BBC if they cannot report the facts correctly.

# 142 - WAR - Dale Farm and Esther Rantzen.
Isn't it amazing how the cash strapped BBC had 30 crew at Dale Farm + canteen trailer which out numbered the protesters by the end. The BBC will always be there for any bleeding heart, PC leftie cause.
Also the BBC always looks after its own and promotes them. So it was that Esther Rantzen was on the Jeremy Vine show today complaining about being lonely. Hasn't anyone told her that she only got herTV work because of her husband who she stole from another woman. So where are her children, she used to pose with as the perfect family, when she needs them? Where is the charity work to put back something into the community? She strikes me as a pushy woman who most men would avoid at all costs.
Two more examples of a different kind of BBC bias.

# 141 - WAR - More bias reporting on the EU.
If BBC journalists were doing their jobs they would challenge the much repeated mantra of the Europhiles that we can not seriously consider leaving the EU because so much of our trade is with the EU.
Well the Democracy Movement, which replaced the Referendum Party in 1997, has been saying this for over 12 years:-
There is no need to worry about future trade with the EU if we withdraw from it. We buy far more of their goods than they buy of ours. If trade stopped altogether, the EU countries would lose far more than we would.
We could easily enter into a Free Trade agreement with them because they would be mad not to.
Indeed the EU has a free trade agreement with Mexico on the same terms as us but they don't pay millions every day to be a member of the EU club.
The break down of our GDP is as follows:-
14% is exported to the EU and is declining and in deficit.
14% goes to the rest of the world
72% of GDP is our own domestic economy.
The EU tail should stop wagging the UK dog - they need us more than we need them.
If the BBC was not so institutionally bias they would point the above facts out at every time they interview a Europhile who churns out the old chestnut that we cannot leave the EU because we trade so much with them.
