Blaney's Blarney —
Authority: 534
Unbelievable. The BBC today is running a series of commemorations on the fall of the Berlin Wall twenty years ago. On its radio news bulletins, BBC reporters have focussed on the bravery of ordinary East Germans, the restraint shown by border guards, the foresight shown by East Germanys leaders and the magnanimity ...1 day ago -

ARRSE alerted me this morning to the story in The Sun about Gordon Browns scribbled and poorly spelt letter to the parents of a dead soldier. Do read The Suns article and ARRSEs take on the story; there seems to be very little respect for Gordon Brown amongst the military, I wonder why. Meanwhile the BBC lead ...1 day ago -

Not a sheep —
Authority: 148
The BBC do normally enjoy telling the poor British how much better life is in Cuba than here, so I was surprised that they have decided not to report, as The Telegraph do, that: "Cubans can enjoy a new freedom from this week - citizens of the communist island can now buy potatoes and peas without restriction." ...1 day ago -
The BBC a contrast in coverage and more on Major Hasan
Not a sheep —
Authority: 148
Do you remember when the news of 9/11 was conveyed to President George W. Bush as he read to children at a school? The BBC and other media used the footage of a shocked and tongue-tied Dubya as an example of how dumb the US President was. Oddly the BBC seem less interested in reporting Barack Obamas initially ...2 days ago -

Whoosh and its all but gone. Today the Fort Hood murder story has almost disappeared from the BBC news front page, all that is left is Obama praises army base heroism.

"What is so irritating about all of this? Not so much its political slant (though it goes almost without saying that the BBC would never have put out a comparable series from a Right-wing point of view). It is more its ineffable complacency, its stupefying lack of imagination." Thats Charles Moore on Andrew Marrs "The ...6 days ago -
