Main article in the above is an extract from Peter Sissons latest book ' When one door closes'.
It is a graphic account of the institutional bias in the BBC, something I've been campaigning about for at least 20 years!
He explains how the BBC is badly lead and how unless you quote the Guardian's line you will NEVER get on in the BBC.
This is music to my ears.
I KNOW the BBC is biased which is why I've refused to pay my licence fee for 4 years.

# 072 - WAR - BBC 1 News at Ten.
On Thursday 20th Jan 2011 the BBC news contained an item about the Americans in Sangin. The report suggested that the Amercians were doing much more than the British had done, in taking the fight to the Taliban, and as a result they had suffered 26 deaths. The report concluded that the aim of the American Forces was to try and turn the Taliban to 'our' side, to win the hearts and minds of the locals and of course that the ultimate aim was to hand over the area to the Afghan Army.
This type of BBC reporting avoids ANY serious analysis of the situation and so by default is bias.
Three questions that should have been covered are:-
1. How can they win hearts and minds while burning the local's crops in search of possible arms dumps?
2. If they are able to 'turn' the Taliban they can of course turn back as soon as the NATO Troops leave.
3. Suggesting the corrupt Afghan Army could ever hold the line for more than 5 mins is a complete joke.
The BBC news no longer sets the pace as they happily support the line of their political masters in government.

# 071 - WAR - BBC 2 Newsnight and newspaper circulation figures.
Isn't it funny how at the end of Newsnight they invariably finish with a quick look at the front pages of the papers.
9 times out of 10 they show the Guardian and Independent and occassionally the Daily Mail.
Well I thought you might like to know the circulation figures of the main papers which I have rounded up or down for clarity.
Sun - 3,000,000
Daily Mail - 2,000,000
Mirror - 1,200,000
Telegraph - 700,000
Express - 670,000
Times - 500,000
Fin/Times - 400,000
Guardian - 300,000
Independent - 180,000
Now don't forget the above figures for the Guardian and Independent include the mass distribution figures that they send to hotel chains etc!
So why does the dear old bias BBC nearly always include the Guardian?
BECAUSE ALL THE BBC LUVIES READ IT OF COURSE!

# 070 - WAR - BBC 1 news 10.00pm 21/12/10
They just cannot help themselves being bias that is!
On an item on a new source of gas from shale in the USA they only interviewed an man from Friends of the Earth who was against it as it was still a fossil fuel which wouldn't help stop climate change.
So NO balance was shown as of course the BBC can still not let go of the Global Warming story and still tries to weave in a story if they possbly can.
The only answer is for the duped public to refuse to pay their TV licence fee.
That would make the Guardian reading BBC types sit up and take notice.

# 069 - WAR - More evidence of BBC bias.
Two entries to catch up on last week:-
1. So Hunt MP stated that the BBC is filled with more LibDim and NuLiebour voters than CONservatives.
Well that is a statement of the obvious but it doesn't stop some BBC type indignantly saying it is no ones business how he votes.
He is right of course and Hunt said no different it just that he suggests that not many in the BBC vote CONservative - and that is the obvious truth.
2. The good old Daily Mail on Saturday 18th carries a story that Mark Thompson the BBC's Director General ( on around £800,000 at the last count) admitted recently that the BBC had indeed been nervous about tackling sensitive issues. This admission comes only a few months after he accepted the Corporation had been guilty of a a massive left wing bias . His latest comments made during a speech at the Institute for Government on Thursday night follow a 2007 BBC Trust report which suggested news coverage had sidestepped immigration and Europe.
For years my complaint letters to the BBC where met with solid denials that they were bias and yet now their own boss say they have been.
The trouble is they still ARE but they just don't see it insulated as they are behind their copies of the Guardian!

# 068 - WAR - 6 pm BBC 1 news Friday 10th December.
Another classic piece of BBC 1 bias yesterday on the 6pm news.
The BBC is charged by its Royal Charter not to be bias so when covering major news items, like Climate Change, they really should interview both sides of the argument.
Yesterday they interviewed the Government scientist on the pro side who was allowed to repeat the lie that the temperature is rising when in fact it has gone down in the last few years and to speak on the sceptic's side they had some amateur climate enthusiast.
So no balance there then!
Why does the BBC never interview a sceptic like the journalist Christopher Booker?
The BBC is still desperate to plug climate change whenever they can and still speak as if it is a fact.
Meanwhile the evidence is now clear for those with eyes to see that the whole Climate Change industry is a complete scam.
The bias BBC is going to have some serious egg on its face when the orthodoxy changes and climate change is seen for what it is a green scare story to promote an increase in the green agenda and budget.

# 067 - WAR - Radio 2 news @4pm today.
I'm always amused when the bias BBC shoots itself in the foot!
Lead item on Radio 2 news at 4pm today was a student's reaction to the pending vote in Parliament.
Typically the bias BBC only wheeled out one student to interview, so giving no balance. Then to compound the problem the bias BBC, no doubt following their own PC guidelines, interviewed a girl, who from her accent, was I assume coloured!
The BBC seldom now interviews with the majority indigenous whites?
Well she told us she was rioting 'so LIKE her younger relations could LIKE benefit from LIKE further education LIKE' etc etc!
Clearly this student had been very poorly educated no doubt as a product of our state system.
Hope your foot gets better soon bias BBC!

# 066 - WAR - BBC Radio 2 news 5pm today.
Here is an example of the very subtle way the BBC is bias in its news reporting.
The news on Radio 2 at 5pm lead obviously lead with the Spending Review but had NO extract of George Osbourne's speech ( the main event let's face it!) but did manage an extract from Alan Johnston and choose the most class conscience comment of the lot which was that in his opinion many of the Conservatives sole agenda was an ideological crusade to cut welfare spending.
This is very bias.
Fairness would have had a quote from each and certainly not the most class conscience comment forn Alan Johnston on its own.

# 065 WAR - Horizon BBC 9pm Monday 4th October
David Attenborough headed up this programme, on how we are damaging our oceans, and which covered two main areas - over fishing and increased acidity of the water due to more CO2.
I'd agree with all the points on over fishing and you only have to look at the disasterous EU Common Fishing Policy to see how the EU have mismanaged their waters.
However the EU was NOT even mentioned - now there is a surprise!!
As to more CO2 damaging the oceans, David Attenborough and the BBC should read Ian Plimer's book Heaven and Earth pages 323 to 339 to realise that this is simply NOT happening.
But then again when did the BBC let the facts get in the way of a story to promote the Warmists agenda.
I wonder when the BBC will stop reporting Global Warming as a fact?

# 064 WAR - Money incentives for dieters.
BBC news on Radio 2 at 10 o'clock today had an item that there is a proposal to give cash incentives to fatties and unfit people to diet and take exercise.
The BBC showed bias by of course only interviewing one person who said she would not have gone to the gym with out the incentive.
For balance they should have interview someone who pointed out the absurdity of this suggestion.
So the listening public are subtly left with the impression that this idea might have some value.
