GREEN INSANITY - Biased BBC

GREEN INSANITY: "The election continues, with all three main parties steadfastly refusing to discuss properly their insane, bigoted advocacy of massive new taxes on energy. Meanwhile, the BBC continues to report the agenda of greenies with relentless bias. Take this story about greenie fanatics stopping the import to Kenya of GM maize on the ground that it might contiminate the soil. Such supersititious rot would put Matthew Hopkins (the Witchfinder-General) to shame, but the reporter doesn't waste an ounce of effort looking for alternative views. Tens of thousands are at risk of starvation in Kenya because of cyclical drought, but the BBC has green issues to pursue and that is all that matters.

Anyone who has visited Africa knows that one of the main problems of the continent is inadequate power supplies. As well as endless power cuts, tens of thousands of Africans die every year through house fires that are caused because they don't have access to electricity and use crude torches instead. So when the World Bank decides to help (and act sensibly for once) with the building of a major new power plant, it should be unqualified good news. Not for the BBC; its main concern in its reporting of the topic is what 'environmentalists' think.

RELENTLESS! - Biased BBC

RELENTLESS!: "I had the misfortune to ensure 60 minutes of the BBC 'Today' bias this morning and believe me, it's just not good for your health! Between 7am and 8am, there was a stream of anti-Conservative propaganda spewing from the State Broadcaster and I speak as someone who is not a Cameron Conservative but believes in the need for balance!



The farce started with Stephanie Flanders going over to Dublin. Apparently there has been a recession there (!) and Steph went to have a chat with Brian Lenihan, the Finance Minister. In his first sentence, Lenihan explained he was a Keynsian (BBC tick) but because Ireland had no access to easy funds, tough decisions had to be taken (BBC sad). Stephanie explained that if the scale of these cuts was replicated in the UK, it would mean tens of thousands of job losses in the public sector. Oh no. Stephanie didn't ask if the cuts were working.



This set up the next item which was...cue drum roll ..Tory plans for 'efficiency cuts' in the public sector. BBC produced an academic professor to point out just how dreadful this would be. Plus ca change?



Then, a break from undermining the Conservatives to go to South Africa for the funeral of 'notorious white supremacist' leader Eugene Terreblanche. I found this guy to be a pretty repellent character BUT then again BBC silence on the murder of 3000 white farmers since the notorious ANC came to power in 1994 hardly provides balanced debate, does it?



Anyway, we all know whites are bad so back to some more Conservative bashing concerning their voluntary national citizen service scheme. Sanchia Berg made plenty of mention of 'people with posh accents' telling da yoof what to do. That pesky Etonian Cameron, eh?



Then, across the Irish sea to my part of the woods where Kevin Connolly talked uncommon nonsense for 5 minutes, pretending we now live in a land of milk and honey in which the 'constitutional question' is settled. I am inviting Kevin to come an interview me so an alternative view can be heard, I bet he won't. Will keep you posted.



Moving on this time across the pond, we had a bit of Obama worship and in particular on his cunning plan that "could" lead to tough new sanctions being imposed on Iran, sometime, in the not too distant future. Possibly. Maybe, Bet the Mullahs are panicking about that. Again, no counter voice protesting Obama's total failure to grasp the nettle on this issue! On the other hand, he does bully Israel and that is always worth a BBC bonus.



Finally, and exhausted, I listened to a tribute to Sex Pistol's manager, Malcolm McLaren who has died aged 64, Wish the BBC had played 'Pretty Vacant', it would have summed up the last hour of bias, drivel, propaganda and faux comment. No future for you?

NEWSNIGHT DISGRACE - Biased BBC

NEWSNIGHT DISGRACE: "Anyone watch Newsnight? Paxman interviewed Labour apologist Liam Byrne on the matter of the Conservatives £6bn savings vs Labour £15bn. Byrne just bluffed it and castigated the Tories. Probably as one would expect. But then, by way of 'balance', a businessman was in the studio to respond, It was suave Dragon's Den star James Caan, and yes, he agreed with Labour and suggested that the Labour NIC hike next year was 'no big deal'. Fair and balanced - both sides supporting Labour,
