It's a funny thing, but I actually feel that we here at your favourite blog, Is the BBC biased?...
...the ultra-hip bad girl of BBC bias blogs which, with sharp stilettos, loud lipstick, a burqa and an AK-47, well and truly out-Corbyns Jeremy Corbyn, Tarantino-style, when it comes to Hamas-style coolness - both in reaching the masses and blowing the heads off Beeboids...
...that, as I was saying,,..
...that we here at Is the BBC biased? have actually pointed out a fair few plausible examples of BBC bias over the course of this weekend.
That said, what follows is surely the worst example yet...
So returning to BH...
After Paddy's stonewalling over Edward Heath came the most shockingly pro-bassoon segment I've ever heard on the BBC. Apparently, bassoons are being passed over by the young in favour of saxophones and BH was amplifying the complaint that that's an issue which needs bother us.
Only a bassoonist was invited to appear (no oboists, clarinettists or flautists were invited, for counterbalance) and, worse still, the bassoonist was then allowed to perform a bit of Gramps from Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf (more Monbiot-style pro-wolf bias from the BBC!) and later encouraged to play a transcription of Grieg's Hall of the Mountain King (more pro-troll bias from the BBC!)
Bassoons, of course, are the buffoons of the orchestra. The rhyming of "bassoon" with "buffoon" proves that point. The BBC shouldn't be pandering to them...unless they are playing Mozart's beautiful youthful Bassoon Concerto...which, in fairness, BH's Tom the Bassoonist also did...
