UK: Former BBC Host Says Channel Became a “Propaganda Machine for Climate Change Zealots”…
And our MSM puts the BBC to shame when it comes to leftist propaganda.
(Daily Mail)- Institutionally biased to the Left, politically correct and with a rudderless leadership. This is Peter Sissons’ highly critical view of the BBC in his new memoirs, in which he describes his fascinating career over four decades as a television journalist. Here, in the latest part of our serialisation, he reveals how it was heresy at the BBC to question claims about climate change . . .
My time as a news and current affairs anchor at the BBC was characterised by weak leadership and poor direction from the top, but hand in hand with this went the steady growth of political correctness.
Indeed, it was almost certainly the Corporation’s unchallengeable PC culture that made strong leadership impossible.
Leadership — one person being in charge, trusting his or her own judgment, taking a decision and telling others what to do— was shied away from in favour of endless meetings of a dozen or more people trying to arrive at some sort of consensus.
At the newsroom level it became impossible to discipline someone for basic journalistic mistakes — wrong dates, times and numbers, inaccurate on-screen captions and basic political or geographical facts — for fear of giving offence. You’d never see anyone, to use a technical term, get a b*****king.
There’d be whispers about them. They might even get a black mark at the annual appraisal with their line manager. Sometimes, they might even be promoted to a position in which they could do less harm.
But what really concerned me was when the culture of political correctness began to influence what appeared on the screen. Soon after I started on News 24 in 2003, the aircraft carrier Ark Royal returned from the Gulf to a traditional welcome from families and friends at Portsmouth. TV reporters closed in to interview crew members, the vast majority of whom were men.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:
Latest pseudo-scientific paper published by frauds is so outrageous, it’s been withdrawn.
“A study warning that the planet would warm by 2.4C by 2020, creating deadly consequences for the global food supply, is being debunked as false and impossible.
The study came from a little-known, non-profit group based in Argentina, called the Universal Ecological Fund. An embargoed copy of the study appeared on Eurekalert!, a news service operated by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) that’s followed by many journalists.”
Non-profit is code for government-funded. The name of the place screams fraud.
Organization files FOIA on NASAs leading global warming fraud James Hansen to see if he’s committed similar ethics violations to one of his partners in crime, another taxpayer funded fraud.
“This request seeks records of longtime, taxpayer-funded activist Hansen, in the knowledge that FOIA-released records and other documents show his GISS colleague, Dr. Gavin Schmidt, has edited the activist blog RealClimate on regular business hours when he is nominally working for the taxpayer. In fact, FOIA-released records indicate this third-party activism was considered part of Schmidt’s job, seeking to rehabilitate the discredited ‘hockey stick’ and otherwise promoting GISS’s activist line.”
It’s nice to see the frauds on the defensive after two decades of offense against science and the people.
What’s funny is that the ignorant think the BBC is a paragon of journalism, not the Leftist propaganda machine it really is. It is one important reason why England has become the multicultural cesspool it has become.
Hey, dude, tell us something we don’t already know.
Have you watched American MSM lately … especially GE’s bunch?
Maggie Bingo!
Juan Williams also learned what happens when you stray off the PC plantation, didnt he?
Maybe this guy should apply with Fox.
