A FORCE FOR GOOD

>> Tuesday, January 31, 2012

BBC World Service journalist Piers Scholfield asks a question about Super PACs:


What's "a force for good" in the eyes of a BBC World Service journalist? The link takes you to this article about a Vermont-based Super PAC called "Americans For a Better Tomorrow, Today". Here's what they stand for:

The group wants to highlight the issues and values brought into focus by the Occupy movement, including progressive tax policies, clean energy development, the protection of collective bargaining rights and a system that doesn’t routinely graduate college students with $100,000 of student loan debt.
Lefty values = force for good. The BBC's coverage of this year's presidential election is going to be a doozy, isn't it?

(Previously - Piers Scholfield, Green Party supporter)

Oh btw, remember Jude "I love him" Machin? She's still got it bad:

Nice catch, DB. Scott and Dez will continue to pretend this doesn't exist.

Maybe they ought to do a programme about how almost the entire academic establishment (and especially university students) in Germany supported the National Socialist Party.

They could also do a programme about how the Nazi Party took over broadcasting in Germany in order to promote correct political opinions.

They might mention that one of the leading philosophers of the Nazi Party (Heidegger) is practically compulsory in Leftist "Cultural Studies" courses at British universities.

They could then do a programme about the Institute of Marxist studies in Frankfurt, and their impact upon thinking about Multi-Culturalism.

Or maybe not..........

Oh, damn, too bad the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto didn't know about this.....

Jude (Judith?) Machin has form. Seems the NHS is not alone in employing "Pilgrims", the bBC is now employing full-time Obama organisers under the guise of "reporters"

So if I get this right he advocates the people removing power from their leaders ? so where is his evidence that this has ever worked non violently ? he takes a lot of credit but few of those involved in the uprisings he claims he started say they have even heard of him!
also the removal on public consent only works maybe on your government not the one next-door who's  bombing your city's !

Gotta love twitter.

One presumes, dsiclaimer absent, all her views are therefore those of her employer?

What event is she in? Synchronised uniquess? Or the double standard jump (it's easier if you are a twin)?

Antony Jay

"But we were not just anti-Macmillan; we were anti-industry, anti-capitalism, anti-advertising, anti-selling, anti-profit, anti-patriotism, anti-monarchy, anti-Empire, anti-police, anti-armed forces, anti-bomb, anti-authority. Almost anything that made the world a freer, safer and more prosperous place, you name it, we were anti it."
Antony Jay, Telegraph, July 2007

Andrew Marr

"..the final answer, frankly, is the vigorous use of state power to coerce and repress. It may be my Presbyterian background, but I firmly believe that repression can be a great, civilising instrument for good. Stamp hard on certain 'natural' beliefs for long enough and you can almost kill them off."
Andrew Marr, The Guardian Feb. 1999

Jeremy Paxman

"But the bigger question is whether the BBC itself has a future. Working for it has always been a bit like living in Stalin’s Russia, with one five-year-plan, one resoundingly empty slogan after another. One BBC, Making it Happen, Creative Futures, they all blur into one great vacuous blur. I can’t even recall what the current one is. Rather like Stalin’s Russia, they express a belief that the system will go on forever."
Jeremy Paxman, The James McTaggart Memorial, 24th August 2007
