Given the BBC’s newly exposed lack of impartiality on green matters it doesn’t really surprise me that they would put a positive spin on a poll about nuclear and renewable power. The impartiality bit comes out in one of the newly released Climategate emails : date: Wed Dec 8 08:25:30 2004 from: Phil Jones [...]  Having seen the following headline on the local news section over at the BBC : I clicked through fully expecting to find some suitable blogging material about pensioners being warned about some young girly causing an outbreak of funny turns by flaunting herself from the rear windows of the school bus. Alas, it [...] Aside from the catch all offence of “incitement to or of X” which seems to be a favourite of our thin skinned society, I am left wondering exactly what the hell is “charged with improper use of a social networking site”? Coming from the BBC, I suppose it is probably more to do with [...] Something I would never have expected to read in The Telegraph is that medical researchers at Stanford University have discovered a drug in Stoke that can be used to treat stroke related brain injuries up to 12 hours after the attack. The exact drug is not named in the article but being Stoke I [...] For anyone having read both the BBC and Telegraph reports of today’s government borrowing data releases they could be forgiven for wondering where on earth the title for this post comes from as our wonderful MSM paint a rather different picture. The Telegraph headline has this : Borrowing falls, cue the fanfare, all [...] Telegraph readers could be forgiven for thinking that the former Australian PM Kevin Rudd has taken his election defeat rather badly after seeing the following article in the online edition this evening : Fortunately for the ex-PM (and unfortunately for the Telegraph), the picture tagged to the Rudd article actually belongs to the article [...] Whilst the MSM has long forgotten Fukushima, the following video and commentary from Hawaii News Daily shows just how little Tepco has achieved in bringing the damaged plant under control. The timeline commentary below the video gives you a few pointers as to what you are seeing – most of the events up to [...] Brief snippets … Spotted as a breaking news splash on the BBC News website a little while ago : Hint – the clue is in the post title. And, if that is not enough for one day then how about this headline from the BBC Health Pages today which seems to be lacking [...] Whilst The BBC in this article valiantly avoids reference to the ethnic background of the defendants in a messy little case, we at least get some clue as their names are all printed : Teenage girls were treated as “sexual commodities to be sold or gifted”, a jury in a child prostitution trial has [...] Brief snippets … A uSwitch press release masquerading as news in The Telegraph has the following extremely bizarre information : Half of holidaymakers will return home from trips abroad to a mobile phone bill of £150 because they do not understand roaming costs. … Furthermore, seven in ten consumers leave their phone switched on [...] Still think it’s a good idea to have a massive online database of records accessible by all and sundry when they get up to this kind of thing : A woman who arrived at a hospital for an appointment was told she had died as staff searched her medical records. Sylvia Slingsby, from Thurnscoe, [...] One for the “what on earth were they thinking when they wrote that” files, the screengrab below has me wondering whether it’s The Telegraph who thinks we are all stupid or if it just confirms that the web version is written by journalists kids on a work experience week : Where the bloody [...] One of the most amusing Viagra adverts I have seen yet. From the Health News section of the online Telegraph, the following article demonstrates that even doctors do not bother reading the side effects information provided with every single pack of the drugs : Viagra could make you deaf, doctors have warned. [...] Reactor one in relatively unbuggered condition! With the MSM having the attention span of a 3 year old high on fizzy drinks, it is hardly surprising that Fukushima related news has disappeared from our view. Unfortunately, the real story seems to be taking a turn for the downright buggered as Japan confirms [...] The NHS obsession with weight seems to have taken a sinister turn with this new trial reported by the BBC : Obese pregnant women are to be given a drug to reduce the risk of obesity in their children as part of an NHS trial. Overweight women supply too much food to a [...]  |
