The World at One is usually one of the less contentious of BBC Radio 4's news programmes. It does offer the standard BBC world view of most matters but as far as I'm aware has rarely featured on blog sites as a source of some of the most outrageous examples of media bias presented as imparti...

In case anyone didn't know, there's a war been happening in full swing over these last few weeks. Over 1400 civilian victims. Massive damage through air strikes inflicted by an immensely powerful military machine claiming to be out to defeat terrorism, although the terrorists have been armed...

The Rev George Pitcher is a serving cleric of the Church of England. And this Sunday, he's been telling us that he's "almost as disgusted by the BBC as he is by Israel." Not the Israeli government. Not the Israeli armed forces. But Israel. Why? Here are the reasons he offers: Chick...

There's huge coverage in the UK media of the current BBC refusal to broadcast the UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) relief appeal for humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza. It's being carried on all the UK online media-- editorials as well as news reports, including the BB...

Here's some extracts from Mary Liddell, in the Daily Telegraph, in full cry, recycling some hoary anti-semitic resentments and assumptions about supposed Israeli power over the US, a...

It isn't often that I see David T of Harry's Place expressing his support of Ehud Olmert, the right of centre Prime Minister of Israel. But there he is, saying how much he agrees with Olmert's description of settler attacks on Palestinians in Hebron as "a pogrom".   I wholly disagree with the us...

In the clip, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown assures us she's not God. Let's be thankful for that.  But, sadly, she still seems to be suffering from British Media Zionist Derangement Syndrome.  I first posted about the spectacular outbreak of this overheated-brain affliction, which blighted her Independent c...

Yesterday, I posted about the way in which the current crowing over Deputy Mayor Ray Lewis' downfall by the anti-Boris cheerleaders, including The Guardian, ignored identical errors of dligence on their own part.  Today's Guardian takes that even further, with a wonderfully sanctimonious and finger...
