BBC is back with Project Fear for their no.2 story:

'Bisto owner plans Brexit stockpile'

Their social justice campaign latest:

'Can attitudes towards body hair be sexist for both men and women?'

'The film industry rewards skinny'

'Call for UK ban on 'grotesquely sugary' freakshakes'

It's not just the BBC and it's not just left wing bias. For a fair while now many shows have become unbearable to watch due to them constantly talking politics when the viewer is after some light relief instead.

HIGNFY at least makes clear that news is the main subject and shows some degree of balance, but things like The Last Leg and some of the US late night shows have drifted so far from their purpose that it's ridiculous.

Not even gone near the mash report as it's those type of shows on steroids. And I like Nish Kumar.

Israel is the other media bias that doesn't just include the BBC... Hundreds of rockets have been fired into civilian areas of Israel each day from the Gaza Strip by terrorist group Hamas, yet the media totally ignores this and only reports it when Israel fight back. And of course, it's always in an out-of-proportion way. The media does not care about Jews being killed in Israel and this type of leftist anti-Semitism is ignored.

HIGNFY, like Private Eye, used to be a kind of bastion against establishment cant and hypocrisy but I've noticed that, over the last couple of years, there's been an obvious drift towards peddling what are plainly establishment views, most notably that anyone who voted for Brexit is either mad or stupid. Disappointed in them both.

Oh, and Nish Kumar is simply dreadful.

The left wing media, which unfortunately we have to count the BBC amongst, are definitely conflicted when it come to all things Israel.

We have little doubt as to their real attitudes but the current ridiculous speech laws on anything Jewish restrict them.

The Israeli-Palestinian crises is a bit like the India pakistan separation....differing only in time scale. It's a tragedy.

There will be no negotiated separation here though, only a massacre of one or the other.

For me when you have to chose between the pro western Israel and anti western Hamas, it's no choice at all. However no one celebrates the death of innocents and that will be the majority.

Whether a basically European democratic state is tenable in the middle east long term however...say 100 years is questionable. If I had to bet upon Israel still existing after that time....it's fifty fifty.

Identity means they will never be accepted.

....Sorry, I've just realised I've expanded upon a topic rather than keeping it to BBC stories....Apologies.

This book is out on Amazon next week: 'The Noble Liar: How and Why the BBC Distorts the News to Promote a Liberal Agenda' [Link]

It's written by an ex BBC reporter an executive and "galvanises the debate over how our licence-fee money is spent, and asks whether the BBC is a fair arbiter of the news, or whether it is a conduit for pervasive and institutional liberal left-wing bias."

It certainly isn't what it used to be.

I find he's alright when he's playing a buffoon with Joel Dommett, not when he's trying to talk politics.

It might have a lot to do with Hislop becoming an increasingly smug and irritating little turd.

That's unfair Michelle is a great role model and it was a tremendous achievement for a black woman. OK she didn't actually get elected to anything she just happened to be married to a man who did but remember his achievements are also her achievements and her achievements are.... her own, because she is a strong woman.

The person I always feel sorry for is Condoleezza Rice. She rose to a senior cabinet position through her talent first as a National Security Advisor and then as Secretary of State. That was a real achievement and yet she is eclipsed by Michelle Obama who may be a great woman but has never held real office.
