LGF - BBC Stars Admit Insanely Obvious Bias
As if we didn’t already know. As if it weren’t as obvious as a smack in the eye.
We are biased, admit the stars of BBC News.
It was the day that a host of BBC executives and star presenters admitted what critics have been telling them for years: the BBC is dominated by trendy, Left-leaning liberals who are biased against Christianity and in favour of multiculturalism.
A leaked account of an ‘impartiality summit’… reveals that executives would let the Bible be thrown into a dustbin on a TV comedy show, but not the Koran, and that they would broadcast an interview with Osama Bin Laden if given the opportunity. Further, it discloses that the BBC’s ‘diversity tsar’, wants Muslim women newsreaders to be allowed to wear veils when on air.
At the secret meeting in London last month, which was hosted by veteran broadcaster Sue Lawley, BBC executives admitted the corporation is dominated by homosexuals and people from ethnic minorities, deliberately promotes multiculturalism, is anti-American, anti-countryside and more sensitive to the feelings of Muslims than Christians.
One veteran BBC executive said: ‘There was widespread acknowledgement that we may have gone too far in the direction of political correctness. Unfortunately, much of it is so deeply embedded in the BBC’s culture, that it is very hard to change it.’ …
The full account of the meeting shows how senior BBC figures queued up to lambast their employer.
Political pundit Andrew Marr said: ‘The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It’s a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people. It has a liberal bias not so much a party-political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias.’
Washington correspondent Justin Webb said that the BBC is so biased against America that deputy director general Mark Byford had secretly agreed to help him to ‘correct’, it in his reports. Webb added that the BBC treated America with scorn and derision and gave it ‘no moral weight’.
Former BBC business editor Jeff Randall said he complained to a ‘very senior news executive’, about the BBC’s pro-multicultural stance but was given the reply: ‘The BBC is not neutral in multiculturalism: it believes in it and it promotes it.’
Randall also told how he once wore Union Jack cufflinks to work but was rebuked with: ‘You can’t do that, that’s like the National Front!’
And this doesn’t even begin to cover the BBC’s astounding, overwhelming bias against Israel—a pervasive antisemitism that’s so blatant, and so ugly, they’re trying to suppress a report about it.
CNN, fresh from their success with a mujahideen snuff film showing US soldiers being killed, is now airing a week-long special called “Broken Government.” I just listened to host Jack Cafferty uncork an astounding moonbat rant about “torture” and “violation of civil rights” that would not have been out of place at Daily Kos or firedoglake, leading to a flat pronouncement that the Bush government has done more to harm the US than Al Qaeda.
I couldn’t stomach any more of it, but we should notice that CNN has apparently dropped all pretense at fairness and is going for broke in this election season.
At least the BBC notices.

Peter has this theory about the Italian news readers. They’re very simple and factual and don’t editorialize cuz they’re all smokin’ hot babes. Don’t have to put anything extra in to get their audience.
(Err-ah-hem.)
