The BBC’s two nightly paper reviews differed drastically on Saturday evening
The BBC’s two nightly reviews of the following day’s newspaper headlines has often been criticised for effectively providing a free platform for the propaganda of the almost exclusively right-wing press – especially in an election period.
But on Saturday evening, a rare exception occurred. A headline in the Independent was displayed and discussed extensively – for almost three minutes – showing that Boris Johnson was warned about the risk of early release for terrorists before the London Bridge attack and that Labour has halved the Tories’ polling lead in just one week.
Or at least, it was in the 10.30pm review.
By the time of the second review at 11,30pm, it seems word had gone round that this just wouldn’t do – because that version of the review showed the Independent’s front page in a readable resolution for just nine seconds:
Both pieces of news are vital, in the wake of the London Bridge atrocity and in the run-up to election day in less than two weeks – and should be known by everyone.

Let’s see which papers / headlines are shown on The Marr Show. And which ones are discussed by the panel (and for how long) n the Newspapers Review section
Well this is unusual for the DM, it seems the public are seeing through the ‘Cobyn the antisemite scam’, check out this video of Mat Hancock speaking to an audience in Haverhill –

The “Corbyn is…” MSM meme was brought to us by the same ilk that believes we cannot spell Pinocchio.
Stan really gamed us didn’t he? People really are going around pretending they could spell Pinocchio. It really is the test of educational competence.
I can’t spell a made up Italian name!
OMG! I am so glad I got that off my chest.
I’m not sure about educational competence, I just think of Johnson Snr/Jnr and remember there are two C’s.
I’m more worried by people who can spell Pin… whatever … but are dim enough to read the MailSun press.
🙂
That’s me then. Always been a poor speller but can actually spell the ‘pin’ name! No surprise there between you and me then.
I read Hitchens’ (spy thriller type) short blog today in the MoS just 10 mins ago!
Here’s the link so you will have evidence that I am someone to be “worried about”. Cue spooky spy music or is that Laurel and Hardy music I can hear?.

I don’t know if anyone posted this in another thread, but I’m posting it anyway, and as you will see, the Imam pulls no punches, and I have a feeling Mirvis won’t be responding, or the Times publishing it:

In the latest episode of Going Underground Afshin Rattansi discusses the plight of Julian Assange with the UN Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer, and then with the former Ecuadorean foreign minister, Guillaume Long.

The “mystery” of Johnson’s strange behaviour at the Cenotaph and the reason why footage of it was substituted by the BBC appears to have been solved.

Yes, I saw that yesterday. I now call Johnson (reportedly drunk at the Cenotaph). Lot’s of fun to be had with his full name but I wont go there.
Barnstorming speech from Murray. A must watch along with Mark Curtis’ speech at the same event. I’ll take this opportunity to re-post that link as well.

I still stick with the old concept of proper journalism – largely abandoned in the MSM (actually – more than abandoned. Traduced by the practise of ignoring contrary evidence) – that reporting needs more that one source of evidence.
That said, the notion that Mr Toad was rat-arsed does indeed fir the missing footage, from the vacant looking around, through the false start, to the upside-down performance.
But, hey … he was wearing a poppy on the right sort of jacket. So that’s all right, them.
There is a hint in Murray’s piece that there may well have been more than one sauce (pun intended) amongst the “little people”.
Just checked out the above Craig Murray piece, then clicked on another of his articles, and the first person who left a comment posted a link to the following re ‘London Bridge’. Very, very mysterious:

Just spotted THIS on the dorseteye website/blog:
‘The Scum is paying NHS staff to slag off the Labour party policy on health care’

And here’s a link to the Craig Murray article I mentioned above, and I post it not for what he says in relation to Brexit, but for his insightful observations of the MSM and their tactics:
