28Gate And The Disgraced BBC


Here are some well-known Blog sites covering this amazing story with a good deal of background information.





In view of the current paedophilia scandal surrounding the BBC – the world’s most trusted broadcaster, apparently, this additional story of how the BBC compromised itself and its charter comes as no surprise.

Clearly, the BBC is unashamedly an arm of Green Labor.   In Australia, concerned eyes must turn to our own Auntie, the ABC.  Both organisations rely on public funding.  Both should be impartial as a matter of responsibility and decency.

There has been obvious bias within the ABC’s non-reporting of certain matters of public interest.  The Gillard/Australian Worker’s Union slush fund debacle is just one quick example of the ABC breaching it’s own charter of open, un-biased news coverage.  This issue will be the subject of a future post.

With regard to the matter of alleged catastrophic anthropogenic global warming which has morphed into tabloid climatology, as repugnant as that is;  scare us all under our beds, hold us to ransom if we don’t convert to this new religion - has been the stock-in-trade of the ABC’s coverage.  I have been utterly disgusted with the lack of story corrections, updates or amendments when actual facts bubble to the surface.  Anyone following so-called catastrophic climate change carefully will instantly know the ABC has been negligent.  Why, one might ask?  Well, these corrections and amendments tend not to fit with “group-think” which is rampant within the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.   Under their charter, the ABC is required to be balanced.  It is not.

For posterity, here is the list of eminent climatology scientists who established the BBC’s one-sided – and never-to-be compromised reportage of anthropogenic global warming.  No ‘deniers” allowed!  Where’s the balance?   Look at the bias!  Smell the stench of blatant charlatanism.

This is an absolute disgrace.
