This site is not keen on repeating well-known news stories unless there is an editorial and opinion to be added. This is also true with the ever-splendid David Vance at Biased-BBC.

Not needing to add anything else to his article this morning, TheEye is simply going to reproduce it. Please comment at will:

“You have to hand it to the BBC, they are great at grovelling to terrorists. On Today this morning, in the lead up to the big interview with IRA leader Gerry Adam, there was a helpful contribution in the “Thought for the Day” slot from the Rev Joel Edwards suggesting that the Northern Ireland peace process is Biblical in tradition. ( Blessed are the bombers…?)

Leaving aside that little theological aside, Naughtie was granted a few minutes in the august presence of Grisly Adams. True to form, his “interview” was pathetic, allowing Adams the chance to blacken the reputation of the British Army whilst piously expressing his formulaic regret at what has happened.

Naughtie COULD have asked Adams is it ever right to kill British soldiers – but he didn’t since Adams would have to quality that answer. (Right for the IRA to do so, not right for others) Naughtie came across as a sycophant, afraid to put any hard questions to Adams and in that regard, on this issue, the BBC stands indicted. “

No further comment is required. The ingrained bias of the BBC stands a mountain tall. Live-blogging of Question Time at 10:30 on Thursday as usual. See you there!
