# 303 - WAR - John Humphreys admits the bleeding obvious!

In the Daily Mail yesterday it was reported that John Humphreys believes the BBC is "grotesuely over managed" and has always had a "broadly liberal bias" admitting that its coverage on such issues as immigration and the EU have not been sufficiently sceptical.

If you are NOT getting what it says on the BBC tin why pay the TV licence?

# 302 - WAR - Is the sea level risng?

Thanks to the blog site ' Not a lot of people know that ' I see the BBC is being very economical with the truth as usual.

http://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2014/02/26/dont-expect-the-truth-from-the-bbc/


Under the heading ' Indonesia rising sea level threatens 1,500 Islands' the BBC reports on-line under 'News from elsewhere' at 11.19am today that sea level rises are threatening Indonesian Islands.

This simply isn't true as the problem is the land is sinking due to tectonic plate movement as recorded in the Yanags and Akaki study in 1994.

Because BBC staff are indoctrinated with the false science of global warming they also believe sea levels are rising and push this at every opportunity.

This is BIAS.

# 301 - WAR - Harmen, Dromey and Hewitt and the NCCL and PIE.

The BBC has finally joined the party after clearly attempting to ignore the story for about 4 days that the Daily Mail has been running.

In brief the NCCL, now Liberty run by Shami Chakrabarti, employed Harriet Harmen, Jack Dromey and Patrica Hewitt in the 70's and early 80's when the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) was affiliated to it.

PIE is of course no more and several of those involved with it were arrested and charged and to her credit Shani Chakrabarti has apologised and admitted that it was wrong that the then NCCL gave support to PIE.

However despite repeated requests to admit that the NCCL made a mistake, in its support for PIE, Harriet Harman last night on Newsnight refused to say it was a mistake.

This story isn't over yet and is another example of BBC bias for can you imagine the BBC ignoring this story for 4 days if the 3 involved had been Conservatives?

# 300 - WAR - Is it the wettest winter on record??

Last night I complined on line to the BBC about their 10 o'clock news report on the this now officially being the wettest winter on record.

Below is the automatic reply from the BBC and the detail of my complaint:-

YOUR COMPLAINT:

Complaint Summary: Rainfall figures were confusing and inaccurate.

Full Complaint: The news item on the amount of rainfall in essence stated that it has been the wettest winter since records began in 1910. Your figures were confusing but I believe you said that in the three months from Dec 2013 to the end of February 2014 the amount of rainfall would be 486.8mm. My research anticipates the rainfall for those three months is more likely to be 650mm. However in 1929 the total for the same three months was 812mm. So this has NOT been the wettest since records began. Also the news item talked about both climate change, as it always does, and global warming which it has NOT done in the last 10 years. I'm aware that your staff have been indoctrinated with the false science of global warming/ climate change and your reports on these matters are bias. However you have in this report, if my research is correct, used figures that are simply not true. One final point I gather weather records go back to 1766 and not 1910 as you state. I await your reply with interest.

# 299 - WAR - It's water vapour stupid!!

I've been trying, for more time than I care to admit, to attach a photograph of a chimney belching out 'smoke' but have failed!

 

My point is how many times does the BBC talk about Climate Change ( it always has!) and or Global Warming (no it isn't) and show a chimney belching forth 'smoke/CO2' well the pictures invariably show chimneys giving off harmless WATER VAPOUR.

 

That ladies and gentlemen is bias. 

# 298 - WAR - Michael Gove and Baroness Morgan.

Although I have not posted on here for 15 days the BBC has still been bias in one way or another most days. However the bias shown over Baroness Morgan being replaced is so blatant as to need recording.

Here are the three reasons I can think of to show that this story is bias against the Conservatives and therefore pro the left.

1. This minor news story only became the lead news item, as it did, because it was anti Conservative.
2. Little mention has been that Michael Gove actually appointed Baroness Morgan in the first place.
3. There has been NO balance or analysis, that I have seen, of how New Labour stuffed their 'supporters' into the top jobs in Quangos and many other bodies.

Today the issue still rumbles on with an airing as a discussion item on the Jeremy Vine show.

The BBC is so devoid of rightwingers that they simply don't see how bias they are and have become.

PS. Dominic Lawson in the Daily Mail today reported that the Policy Exchange think-tank recorded that in the Blair years the ratio in some years was 75 to 15 percent in favour of New Labour appointments.

# 297 WAR - BBC's anti-Tory posters

As if we need any further proof of BBC bias it is reported in the Sunday Telegraph today that in the BBC's office opposite Westminster they had on the staff notice board headlines cut out from the Daily Mirror which were critical of the Tories.

Conservative MP Rob Wilson called on the BBC to remove the articles and launch an investigation.

A BBC spokesman said: " We don't immediately know what staff notice board Mr Wilson is referring to, but whatever it is, it won't have anything to do with the BBC output."

Oh yes it will Mr BBC spokesman as you are all so 'Guardianised' and INSTITUTIONALLY BIAS that you only comprehend the left of centre view of our politics. 
   

#296 - WAR - The way the news is set out is bias.

Here are two examples of bias based on the way a news story is put together. Both these examples come from the news on Radio 2 today and yesterday.

1. Fracking - An item on fracking yestersday started with the news that councils  are being offer government incentives to allow fracking and then went straight into the enviromental concerns and to a Green Peace spokesperson for their comments which were of course anti fracking. The bias comes about by immediately linking the news story with concerns over fracking and comments from Green Peace. Why for example could they not follow the story with comments from those who are NOT concerned with fracking and only see advantages and then follow up with a comment from an expert who is pro fracking.

2. Inflation -  Today the first item on the morning news was that inflation is at its lowest for four years and without drawing breath went straight into commenting that despite this there are still concerns over the cost of living. Again why was this news not immediately followed by a positive comment on the advantages of low inflation.

 As expected the BBC cannnot let news about this mainly Tory government escape without an adverse comment which is usually broadcast without contradiction and if issued by a spokesperson is seldom if ever challenged.

Also I read somewhere in the last couple of days that Nick Clegg was allowed to push his Lib Dim views, without challenge, on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday and of course while talking about the EU was NOT challenged on the lie that 3 million jobs would be lost if we left the EU.

The BBC is beyond reform it must be scrapped.     

# 295 - WAR - Some more classic BBC bias.

Two stories from the good old Sunday Mail which to its credit never shies away from criticism of the BBC and pointing out their bias.

1. Sherlock Holmes - The Co-writer of this show Mark Gatiss has spoken of his hatred of the Tories while his colleague Steven Moffat has been vocal about his left wing views. So it is no surprise that the production is seen as peddling a left wing agenda with the introduction of an evil capitalist newspaper baron as Sherlock's nemesis and last week's  jibes directed at a 'dithering, in coherent, and self-interested unnamed major of London and his hair brained schemes.

This is in sharp contact with the saga over Ian Curteis' play on the Falklands war which was commissioned in 1983  for release in 86 but never shown until 2002 due to it's supoosed favourable treatment of Mrs Thatcher.

Please remind yourself of the story here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Falklands_Play

2. Attempts to cover-up 'eco conference' - The BBC has spent tens of thousands of pounds over 6 years trying to keep secret an 'eco' conference they held for 28 top BBC executives which promoted the green's agenda on climte change.

 In 2006 with a £67,00 loan from New Labour the BBC's own enviromental analyst Roger Harrabin set up the seminar to promote the line on climate change and other Third World issues in BBC reporting.

This is BBC chief Helen Boaden's statement to the inquiry urging the seminar stayed secret:-

" The seminar had an impact on a broad range of BBC output spanning science programmes and News reports. Some editors and executives, who attended, were inspired to be more ambitious and creative in their editorial coverage of this complex issue....[It] should not later be reproduced in such a way as to allow attribution. The list of attendees should not be released to third parties."   

Says it all really and all you need to know about the BBC and its bias.

# 294 - WAR - BBC bias on immigration.

It is pretty clear to me that the BBC is generally pro immigration and is loathed to criticise the last New Labour governments 'Blairite approach' to the issue.

So it is no surprise that they gave blanket coverage to a report last month, by Christian Dustmann and Tommaso Frattini from the UCL, which said immigration had made a substantial contribution to the public finances.

However yesterday Mervyn Stone a senior statistician at the UCL said the report contained some basic schoolboy errors.

The BBC has a duty to be impartial and not only balanced but check out information BEFORE they broadcast.

I'm sure the BBC won't publish a retraction but then they don't care as they have used the airways to promote their view of the world and to hell with the truth.

The trouble is the BBC's version of the truth is NOT representative of the public at large.
