Does bias mean lying?

Good. But BBC should still be banned from all federal property for the duration of Trump’s term in office. These media outlets need to understand that there will be consequences for biased reporting. They can have whatever editorial opinions they want, nobody ever has disputed that, but they have to report the news as news, all of it, without bias.

These weak-minded reprobates wouldn’t have to resign or pay huge legal fees or explain their wickedness to the world if they would just make a sincere attempt at reporting unbiased news.

As it happened: reaction to BBC Savile programme evidence

Key Points

Evidence to the inquiry into the dropping of Newsnight’s Jimmy Savile investigation has been published.

Jeremy Paxman told the inquiry that it was “common gossip” the DJ liked “young” people.

Acting director general Tim Davie said that by releasing the transcripts, the BBC was being “open and transparent”.

Many comments have centred on the fact that long sections of the evidence are blacked out or “redacted”.

In the leftist magazine The Realist in the Watergate days there was a Jules Pfeiffer satirical comic panel where Nixon said “We could break in and get the information, we could do that, but that would be wrong, so we won’t.

Version to be published in the newspapers said: “We could break in and get the information. We could do that.”

Now that stuff happens all the time and it isn’t a satirical cartoon strip.

On Sky News, a Leftist insists on defending the BBC vs. a conservative who rightly calls out the BBC.

Maybe the BBC would be better if they made it British again! This from an English blogger:

In short order, these two departees will be replaced and it will be business as usual and the crisis dies down and the legacy media go back to sleep. But the nub of it is that, from the school of “things can only get worse”, the replacements can hardly get better.

Consider for a moment that the chair of the BBC Board is Samir Shah, born in Aurangabad, India. His half-brother, with whom he shares the same mother, is Mohit Bakaya. As of 2024, Bakaya is controller of BBC Radio 4.

The chief people officer of the BBC is Uzair Qadeer, responsible for overseeing the “end-to-end human resources capabilities across the BBC Group” and responsible for “shaping and driving the BBC’s people strategy, cultural transformation, and organisational change”. Qadeer was born in Lahore, Pakistan and was educated in the United States.

Under him is Irene Asare, Global HR Director for BBC News. She is Ghanaian and was born in Agona Swedru, a town in the Central Region of Ghana. Here early education was at Swedru School of Business, and career and her main experience is in working for Ghanaian industries in the telecommunications and oil and gas fields.
