Don't mention the IRA!


On at 'At last!' thread, MB wondered if Andrew Marr raised anythiong today about John McDonnell's pro-IRA past and praise of dead IRA volunteers. 

To which I replied, no, he didn't. 

If you look back through the programme's archive of transcripts you find 26 transcripts from 25 appearances (since October 2015) and if you click into all 26 of them - as I've just done - and search for 'IRA', guess what? It doesn't appear. 

Yes, in 25 separate interviews with John McDonnell over the past four years, the phrase 'IRA' has never passed Andrew Marr's lips. Not even during their first-ever encounter

Isn't that remarkable?

  1. Andrew Marr is fast becoming the poster boy of bias for the BBC.

  3. Not at all, Fran Unsworth says the bbc is trying to be impartial. But lets forget about the IRA, and ask how many times before it became a scandal did Marr raise to issue of Jimmy Savill?

  4. McDonell and Corbyn are both supporters of terrorists like the IRA and Hamas, but the BBC keeps shtum on that because the BBC lefties support a united Ireland and a Palestine without any Jews.

    1. Yep, and it seems their allies in academia also support a united Ireland and a Judenfrei Palestine.

      Media silence is the most powerful bias tool but a vocal partisan academia is extremely helpful to our biased media.
