Geography


And not just the voice!

I don't think Mark Littlewood of the IEA is impressed with the BBC here:



What Chris Buckler said was:
What is worrying the White House and why Donald Trump is aware that Joe Biden could be a really significant competitor for him, is that he does appeal to some of those places in the midwest, in the likes of Pennsylvania for instance when Joe Biden was launching his campaign today. 
The midwest

Pennsylvania

  1. My issue is why the BBC and registered Democrat (registered with me, at least) Anthony Zurcher in particular, when discussing Biden's candidacy, make no reference to the creepy Joe videos (undoctored, verifiable and verified taken at a variety of public events - all in plain sight). They must have been viewed many millions of times by now. Imagine if it were Trump in those videos!

  2. I hadn't heard of Chris Buckler before, but it appears that he has been in post as the BBC Washington Correspondent since Feb/March 2018. He can't have studied hard in the year or so he's been there. With Sopel at hand, he is probably being trained in the art of bias - that is skirting around any inconvenient facts.

    1. I am always amused, well only till I think how much it is costing us, that the BBC has a "New York" correspondent - Nick Bryant - who invariably reports from and about anywhere except New York (where, excepting rare occasions, not much ever happens). Why does Sopel need back up in Washington? And if he does why can't Bryant do it - or any of the 20 or so other BBC correspondents based in the USA.

    2. It's not hard to see where Pennsylvania is and he ought to know because the President talks about it and visits it a lot. Here's a nice coloured map for him with the names written in, showing the Midwest States from Ohio and Michigan over to the Dakotas. http://ontheworldmap.com/usa/usa-states-map.html

  3. London liberal-media are usually clueless about UK geography.
    so why should we be surprised
    Their staff bonuses are only related to their Virtue Signalling skills
    .. nothing else.

  4. Just another example of the Corporation's disorientation - the BBC thinks that politicians of the centre-right are fascists, so perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised that they think a state in the East of the country is in the Midwest!
