The BEEB and bias...

...this from Bishop Hill, uncovering shady goings on at that paragon of impartial and unbiased reporting; the BBC. It seems that its environmental reporter, Mr Roger Harrabin, has been discussing an appropriate spin to attack/deflect negative comment re Al Bore's fantasy climate movie, and has been sprung... one of Harrabin's emails was leaked, revealing that he was spending time trying to come up with a party line to take about Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth being found to be misleading in a court case. The BBC's website at the time had a profile of Harrabin, which revealed that he was a CEMP director, and that CEMP itself was "supported" by the BBC...
