BBC tastelessness (update) - thanks to Alex

Regular commenter Alex found an odd Jimmy Savile reference in an old Have I Got News For You programme that was repeated last week. The BBC mislead us on iPlayer that this programme was new:

But 10 seconds on Wikipedia shows that this episode was actually first broadcast in April 2012

Regardless of the BBC misleading the public as to which programmes are repeats and which are not, what do you think of the reaction from some of the panel to Jo Brand's joke about children not having to be worried as Jimmy Savile wasn't coming back from the dead?

BBC bias - it's insidious

BBC bias is insidious, it's always there. I turned on BBC 5Live this morning and caught 30 seconds of Alan Davies's show. It was about 10:35 and he had just introduced Jo Brand. Alan Davies said that he had read an excellent  review of Jo Brand's sitcom in The Telegraph, 'on-line' he hastened to add - presumably in case anyone might think he purchased such a newspaper. Jo Brand wondered if the good review was connected with her father working for The Telegraph... comedic pause... 'not that he does, I'd kill him if he did'.

'Oh that's just a joke, you're too sensitive, Mr NotaSheep' - Maybe, but then whereas BBC comedians make regular fun of Telegraph readers, Sun readers and especially Daily Mail readers, when was the last time you heard a comedian on the BBC poking fun at the views of Daily Mirror readers or Guardian readers?

The bias on the BBC is insidious and ever-present, it'sa form of brainwashing, it's evil and it must be stopped.
