So now we know yet another reason why the BBC is so biased in its reporting on climate change: because in 2006 the Labour government effectively paid it to be so...

Lenin: taught the BBC almost everything it knows about balance   "Well if we're catching flak from both sides we must be doing something right…" How many times have you heard this defence from apologists for the...

Personally I don't believe in banning words – but I do believe in intellectual and moral consistency. You'd never hear an organisation as eggshell-treadingly right-on as the BBC use pejorative terms for Jews or black...

I was listening to the BBC yesterday – why do so many of my angriest blogposts begin this way? – to a Radio 4 File On 4 investigation into the "tobacco lobby" and "plain packaging." We know why the BBC ran this...

The last two or three occasions I've been on Any Questions, Jonathan Dimbleby has introduced me by quoting some disobliging lines I have written somewhere or other about the BBC...

I have just been listening to the BBC's latest professed attempt to find the reasonable middle ground on the great environmental debate. And, as ever with the BBC, it's about as neutral, balanced and informed as an Advanced...

It's not often one looks to the Guardian's environment pages for an incisive and thorough critique of green propagandising. But hats off – really – to Leo Hickman for this ruthless deconstruction of an erroneous...

"When you were the Yorkshire Ripper's assistant how many of his victims did you personally kill and dismember?" Though this wasn't one of the questions John Humphrys actually put to Nigel Farage on the Today programme this...

Those of you who don't live in Australia will be lucky enough to have missed last night's travesty of a documentary I Can Change Your Mind About Climate Change by the Aussies' gag-inducingly PC state broadcaster ABC...

Yesterday, the BBC went totally bananas over the Jeremy Clarkson non-story. In twenty-five years of journalism I have never been so inundated with interview requests. First in was the BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine Show; then BBC...

Jeremy Clarkson got into tremendous trouble last night for suggesting on BBC's The One Show that the public sector "workers" who took part in yesterday's strike should be shot...

Tomorrow sees my annual ordeal at the hands of BBC Radio 4's Any Questions. Groan. My gripe is nothing personal: I like and respect Jonathan Dimbleby. Indeed, in the Spectator recently I singled him out as one of the very...
