The BBC And Lies

The BBC is run by liars for liars and to deceive the peasant masses. But that is my view. Another comes from Sean Gabb. Doctor Gabb is an historian and director of the Libertarian Alliance. He puts his view again in the Director's Bulletin of 14th February 2009

He tells us that:-
QUOTE
The BBC is a pro-ruling class propaganda organisation that masquerades as a public service broadcaster. This usually means that it will support the Labour Party on any issue. When it thinks it can get away with it - for example, in claims about "climate change" - the BBC will openly lie and then refuse to give airtime to dissenters. In other cases, it will set up token debates that can be waved at anyone who complains later about bias, but that do not allow opposing points of view to be fairly put. My 12th February debate was of this second kind. A lawyer who is also a Moslem and a woman was allowed to speak about three times longer than I was. She was able to claim without any pretence of hard questioning that Islam was a religion of love and peace and that this was evidenced in The Koran. She insisted that the Geert Wilders denial of this was deeply offensive to Moslems and that his film should be banned.

I was finally allowed to make my response, knowing that I might be cut off at any moment. I made two rapid points: first, that modern public order laws are a blank cheque to anyone able to put a mob on the streets; second, that if this woman wanted to live in an Islamic state, she should consider moving to Iran or Pakistan. I added that, as a woman lawyer, she might get the occasional bucket of acid thrown in her face, but would never have to feel upset about her faith.

Why do I take part in these Potemkin debates? I do so first because they sometimes turn out to be real debates. The BBC is an increasingly totalitarian organisation, but not every minute of airtime is yet controlled. I do so second because, however compressed or bluntly, it is possible to utter truths that the listeners might not otherwise hear. The listeners, of course, already know the truth. But it can brighten their day to hear it put from within the lie machine itself.

Sadly, while I am in continual demand for programmes like Drive Time Cumberland, I am never allowed on Question Time and hardly ever on Newsnight. Such, however, is the nature of the BBC.

Doc Gabb likes them even less than me. But I have an advantage over most people. I ignore demands to pay the BBC money. I have saved hundreds; it might even be thousands. If they do choose to take me to court the matter will be dealt with as a malicious prosecution.

 

BBC Hype And Lies Were Believed
Doctor Gabb tells us that they are liars. So does Private Eye.

 

The BBC And Another Lie
They can so they do. The BBC is a corrupt propaganda machine.
