BBC Hide Climate Data

Earlier on today I spotted a headline on the BBC website front page, I've circled it for you on the image below (click on it to enlarge) :


I then clicked through to the main BBC News page and sure enough, it was there too. Once again I've circled it for you on the image below (click on it to enlarge) :


Out of genuine interest, in how bad the whitewash greenwash was going to be following the CRU email hack investigation, I clicked the link and whoa! Just a fucking minute .... looks like I should have kept that appointment at Specsavers then .... but no .... after a few retakes I'm sure that my eyes aren't deceiving me. It's just good old fashioned, totally predictable, BBC bias in action.

Yep. Suddenly the word 'hide' has been replaced by 'withhold':


That puts a totally different emphasis on the story, dontcha think.

I mean, how many people will have read the headline in the sidebars and just thought "Ok, fair enough" and then moved on to something else.

Now I wonder why the BBC would want to do that then?
Trying to hide, 'Hide the Decline' perhaps?

Well .. who'd have believed it ? ..

Auntie Beeb being biased with the truth ..  Before you know it, we'll have politicians telling lies and claiming "iffy" expenses too ...

Where will it all end ? ....

.... and yet another attempt to sweep the deniers under the carpet!

GrumpyOldTwat said...

LoL ... and no doubt they will still be doing their utmost to 'Withold The Decline'

It's almost as if New Labour never left the building!

The BBC is responsible for this pernicious left wing haze that hangs over this country.
The BBC has to go.

I wonder if it's worth holding our breath whilst we wait for 'Call Me Dave' to sort them out, once and for all?

Probably not.

Even champion Free Diver Tanya Streeter couldn't hold her breath THAT long....

GrumpyOldTwat said...

Eh up!
I wouldn't mind looking down on her whilst she was holding her breath (wink, wink)

Why do they do it?  Fucking why????  What's wrong with the truth or even both sides of the argument?  It is just not possible to trust anything heard from anyone (r) anyone in authority ranging from plod on the beat up through the local councils to government and of course include the BB fucking C right on the top.  Lying fucking cunts every one of them...

It would make things difficult for them - they might have to engage in a discussion, and heaven forbid, justify their stance.

And the same "sources of funding" argument would apply, as it does to outfits like the CRU...

The BBC pensions are all tied up in carbon trading.  If CAGW is shown to be dog doo they can kiss their pensions goodbye.
