Stop Using Abuse Against Parties You Don’t Like If you call someone “extreme”, say why “In the real world, politicians moving to the right want less and smaller government, less tax and less regulation. The more extreme you are on this spectrum the more libertarian you are” The BBC regularly falls into the lazy, […]

Lucky Megrahi – extended life thanks to release from NHS
Here’s something the BBC missed, although because one of its core beliefs is that Britons must love the NHS or else, it was probably omitted by design. The Wall Street Journal Europe today has a fascinating editorial (and OpEd piece from Megrahi’s doctor) , which, if the journalists on the BBC were doing their job, […]
BBC cheer leaders want Egypt’s Mubarak out
Can someone tell them they are reporters not politicians? “Get your views out of my news” “contrary to what the BBC has been reporting, there may be many Egyptians saying “not so fast” to those who would push out the current regime, with no idea how to replace it”. The BBC’s arrogance and incompetence never […]
Hey BBC – Stop The Smear And Encourage Free Debate
Is the EDF “vile”? “The BBC parrots these (Extreme Right, Fascist) claims and refuses to concede that to use them shows a complete misunderstanding of history and the language”. “Fascism and communism are not two opposites, but two rival gangs, fighting over the same territory” – Rand The Labour party and some parts of the […]
BNP’s Griffin humiliated by BBC, but that will probably help not hinder
It made sense for Nick Griffin to emerge from BBCTV’s Question Time as the victim rather than an aggressor, and he certainly achieved that, although I doubt if that’s the way he planned it. Also not emerging with much credit were the unbearably smug trio of mainstream political non-entities Messrs Straw, Huhne […]
Will the BNP’s Griffin show his leftie credentials on Question Time?
“the BNP is old Labour with racism” Hat’s off to the BBC! Finally, it seems to have woken up to its charter obligations to stimulate wide ranging, unfettered debate in Britain. Last week the BBC was doing it with Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician who was formally banned from entering Britain for the outrageous […]
Hard Talk? More Like Easy Rider
Lack Of Balance Breached BBC Guidelines More Half-Truths Spread By BBC About Climate Change Smug, Arrogant King Should Have Been Challenged, Not Humoured Last night’s Hard Talk with Stephen Sackur on BBC World was a travesty of a programme which kids itself it is grilling guests with tough questions. By failing to brief […]
BBC Watchwords – Traduce, Delay, Obfuscate, Intimidate
Threat To Free Speech From BBC Warped View Of Copyright Law Used To Stifle Criticism The BBC refuses to respond in a forthright way to my accusation that it used gutter-press tactics to attack a local doctor, then tried to intimidate me into remaining silent by crude threats about copyright. The BBC is attempting to […]
Apologise, reprimand South Today, insist it never happens again
To: The Director General, BBC From: Neil Winton Can I insist that you change your editorial guidelines to outlaw the disgraceful reporting by BBC SOUTH TODAY on June 17, which smeared Dr Rodney Tate. I’ve attached a copy of my email to The Editor, South Today, and the reply, in the form of a blog […]
BBC South Today Uses Crude, Tabloid Tactics To Smear Doctor
The BBC can truly be a malign, bullying and worrying influence. The BBC’s operatives, when challenged, always put on an air of superiority and talk about their world class standards. Most of the time, this is a dangerous illusion, it seems to me. The BBC is a monopoly, is funded by government […]
