The BBC's myth-makers serve up a double helping of propaganda...

There was much excitement over the revelation that David Attenborough’s Frozen Planet had “faked” a scene where polar bear cubs, actually born in a Dutch zoo, seemed to be in Arctic wilderness. Yet no interest at all was aroused by a much more serious misrepresentation – of the speed at which ice is melting at the poles.

I was criticised for pointing this out last week, but as anyone can see, from satellite-based charts on the Cryosphere Today website, the extent of polar sea ice was last year 1.6 million square kilometres greater than its average over the last 30 years – something which could never have been guessed from Attenborough’s dramatic film sequences, carefully chosen to convey the very different message the BBC wanted us to believe.

 The BBC is incorrigible. Last Wednesday, for the second time in 14 months, Panorama broadcast an unashamed “commercial” for the social workers of Coventry, showing the wonderful work they do in face of Britain’s “adoption crisis”. Like all good propagandists, the BBC gave us a highly selective picture of several children removed from their parents to be adopted. Full story...

Don't miss:

1. The persecution of Maureen Spalek...
2. Nanny state takes seven "fat" children from their parents...
3. Schools bar parents from sports day... to keep out paedophiles!!! 
4. BBC gives less coverage to climate sceptics...
5. David Bellamy: BBC shunned me for denying climate change...
6. Did the BBC lie about the mass grave and the 1,200 bodies found in Libya?
7. BBC shows Anna Hazare protest in India as Tripoli Green Square!!! WTF!
