BBC MEMORY HOLES Comedy Sketches That SATIRISED Racism

The BBC has completely cut multiple sketches from 2006 comedy skit show That Mitchell and Webb Look after dumping the Bafta-winning series back onto its streaming service for its twentieth anniversary.

The official line is that some of the old material no longer “works today.” What no longer works, it turns out, is comedy that satirised and mocked the very mindset of racism.

A BBC spokesman said: “This is a 20-year-old sketch show; in consultation with the programme makers, we have included the ones that still work today and not the ones that don’t.” David Mitchell and Robert Webb have not publicly replied at time of writing.

The sketches were not random gags that aged badly. They were built as self-aware send-ups of the people doing the offending. Yet in 2026, not even this is acceptable.

Eleven sketches have been stripped out, including a skit named ‘How Not What To Look Like / Behind the Scenes: Burqa’, a makeover-show parody in which Mitchell plays a contestant in a burqa.

The scene then cuts to Mitchell and Webb as themselves. Webb asks whether they are “just taking the piss out of people’s sincerely held beliefs.” Mitchell replies: “I think you can worry too much about this kind of thing. I mean, what’s offensive to one person is just good, clean fun to another.” He then pulls off the burqa and is in blackface.

The entire foundation of the joke is predicated on the fact that putting blackface on a TV show is NOT acceptable. But any clever or nuanced factors just don’t matter anymore, because LOOK BLACKFACE IS BAD.

It’s the exact point the joke is making. Yet it still got cut because thinking and considering why something is funny isn’t permitted in 2026.

Team Trump Releases the List CNN Wishes Didn’t Exist: A Staggering Tally of Failure and Deception

As our Ward Clark reported Friday, Donald Trump is fed up with the fake news mainstream media, and he took action by announcing that CNN, Politico, and MS NOW are no longer welcome to attend White House Press briefings or Oval Office Q&As. 

The president roasted the outlets on social media, saying they’re less trustworthy than Pinocchio and routinely inject immense bias into their stories. “Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America,” he wrote.

Expect lawsuits and First Amendment arguments and plenty of hyperventilating drama from those outlets; they’re simply not used to facing consequences (except for the occasional legal settlement) for playing fast and loose with the facts.

MSNOW Hosts Plead With Hasan Piker to Shut His Mouth and Stop Damaging Democrats

Hasan Piker recently appeared on MSNOW where he was sandwiched on screen between Symone Sanders and Eugene Daniels while Sanders pleaded with him to stop talking because he is hurting the Democrats’ chances in the midterms.

Take note of the fact that they’re not necessarily objecting to the things that he has said. They’re objecting to the fact that he keeps saying these things out loud and making the Democrats look bad.

It’s a very telling segment.

FOX News has details:

Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker clashed with two MS NOW hosts on Wednesday on multiple issues, including his political influence and his anti-Israel stance, as Symone Sanders Townsend told the streamer point-blank she would be telling candidates she worked for to absolutely “disavow” him.

“I used to work campaigns, Hasan, and I have to tell you, if I was a strategist or a consultant or the political director on one of these campaigns, I would absolutely be telling my people to disavow you,” Sanders Townsend told Piker in an interview on her “Clock It” podcast, which she co-hosts with Eugene Daniels. “I really would, because we wanna win! We wanna win, and so, like, if you’re not gonna help people win, distance.”

Piker acknowledged the disagreement between them as Townsend continued, “I’ve elected people, though. You’ve never elected anybody.”…

Daniels pressed the Twitch streamer on whether he understood that it sounded like he was endorsing violence by making that argument.

“Do you understand that that’s how people hear it? And is that what you are endorsing?” Daniels asked.

“So this, again, goes back to the same — this goes back to the same dynamic, right?” Piker said. “Structural violence and state violence is oftentimes made to be invisible. So when Israel as a state is operating its normal state functions, and sometimes it can come across as excessive, right? It’s not seen as violent.”

ZERO hurricanes formed by peak 2026 season, and climate alarmists hope you don’t hear about it

A former climate reporter said she deliberately avoided covering positive weather developments because doing so would have complicated the narrative that climate change posed an existential threat.

“When I was a climate reporter, I never covered positive climate stories because it would ‘muddy the narrative’ that climate change was an existential threat,” Lucy Biggers wrote Tuesday on X. “No one told me to behave this way. I chose to do this of my own volition.”

Biggers, who now works for The Free Press, pointed to the historically quiet 2026 Atlantic hurricane season as an example of the type of story she believes climate reporters may be reluctant to highlight.

“I think this is why we rarely see events like this year’s historically quiet eastern hurricane season covered widely by the news,” Biggers wrote. “Many reporters believe covering it will ‘give fodder to climate change deniers.'”

Just five tropical storms have formed, none reaching hurricane strength, The Weather Channel reported. The season also set a record Saturday for the latest start without a hurricane in the satellite era, which dates back to 1966, CBS News reported.

“[I]t was mostly soft self-censorship. I knew what the accepted beliefs of the climate movement were, and I wasn’t going to stick my neck out and challenge them. That would have been so much work and threatened my standing within the group,” Biggers, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“So I ignored anything that challenged the mainstream understanding of climate change anything positive about plastics, fossil fuels, or capitalism. I stayed away from those topics because I was protecting my own neck and wanted to fit in with the group,” Biggers said.

Biggers previously described herself as a former climate activist and said she spent years accepting the arguments of the climate movement without seriously questioning them while working at left-wing outlet NowThis News.

“I would say it is still common today. You can see it with the quiet east coast hurricane season we’re experiencing right now. Nobody is covering it in the same way they would if we were having a very active hurricane season on the East Coast,” Biggers told DCNF.

“If that were happening, we would never hear the end of it. But because the story doesn’t confirm a dangerous climate catastrophe, newsrooms are less inclined to cover it.”

Meteorologists have largely blamed the unusually quiet season on a powerful El Niño, a climate pattern marked by an unusual warming of the Pacific Ocean’s surface temperatures. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said El Niño increases vertical wind shear over the tropical Atlantic, making it harder for hurricanes to form and organize.

The Atlantic hurricane season is far from over, however, with the National Hurricane Center listing Nov. 30 as its official end point.

“I basically spent half my twenties, kind of just buying everything as it was sold to me. Never really investigating,” Biggers said during a May appearance on TRIGGERnometry.

The former climate reporter said she had become convinced climate change represented an existential threat despite lacking what she now describes as a deep understanding of climate science.

“That was how turned off my critical thinking was, because I was getting so much support from being part of this movement that I just pushed it,” Biggers said.

While Biggers argued the quiet season has received limited coverage, several major news outlets have reported on the absence of hurricanes. The Associated Press, CBS News, The Washington Post and The New York Times have all covered the unusual lull in recent days.

“Climate reporters now frequently cover studies that project a frightening future without looking at the empirical evidence we already have,” Biggers said.

“Thank you, President Trump!” the White House’s Rapid Response 47 account wrote on X Sunday in response to a post from meteorologist Chris Martz, describing the hurricane season as historic.

Boston Globe Praised Harvard for Suppressing Free Speech to Save It

The Boston Globe (9/13/26) ran an article contrasting two Boston-area universities’ approaches to campus free speech. Penned by higher education reporter Mike Damiano, the piece reads like an installment of Highlights for Children‘s didactic “Goofus and Gallant” feature, with one school clearly doing it right while the other is letting down the cause of free speech.

Northeastern University plays the role of the loathsome Goofus, with critics remarking that the “school’s leaders have taken a hands-off approach to speech issues since cracking down on a pro-Palestinian protest encampment more than two years ago.”

Meanwhile Harvard, in Gallant fashion,

undertook a multi-year experiment in remaking campus speech norms with top-down reforms, resulting in what students and professors describe as a kind of thaw on a campus where tensions over politics, ideology and speech had thrust it into an acrimonious national debate.

That certainly makes it sound better than Northeastern’s “hands-off approach.” But you have to ask: What did Harvard’s leadership actually do for speech when they put their hands on it?

Well, for one thing, “they have nudged teaching fellows and professors to keep their personal politics out of the classroom.” Huh—telling faculty not to talk about their politics does not actually sound like promoting free speech.

A Nasal PCR Test Is Not an Autopsy: The Pennsylvania ‘Measles Death’ That Was Declared Before Anybody Looked

The vaccine cartel is using an old strategy of fear based on news stories about nasal PCR measles positive cases. Somehow the CNN reporter knows nothing about what happened clinically in the case but declares the woman was “unvaccinated.”

The Pennsylvania “Measles Death” That Wasn’t

The CNN headline is doing what mainstream outlets do best: manufacturing a vaccine-compliance morality tale out of a woman who died of end-stage lung disease. Let’s actually read the article — not the headline — and the story unravels almost instantly.

MS NOW Crew Rescued by Border Patrol After Blunder in the Texas Desert

A far left MS NOW news crew traveled to the southern border seeking a story about immigration and government plans for border barriers.

Instead, the crew produced an accidental comedy after becoming stranded in the remote Texas desert and requiring help from Border Patrol agents.

The network formerly known as MSNBC dispatched correspondent Antonia Hylton and her crew to the Big Bend region of Texas for the debut of “The Assignment.”

Their reporting trip took them to the Alvarado Ranch, where the group apparently discovered that desert terrain does not care about media credentials.

Shortly after leaving the ranch, the crew ran into trouble when its Jeep Wagoneer became stuck as daylight faded.

The same federal agents regularly criticized by left-wing media outlets suddenly became the people the stranded journalists desperately needed.

“As the sun went down, our Jeep Wagoneer bottomed out in the desert,” Hylton said.

That is one way to describe a vehicle becoming firmly acquainted with the unforgiving Texas landscape.

9/11 is a celebration of Western elites’ power over its citizens through corrupt media

9/11 architects keep having their dirty work replicated as we still don’t learn the lesson that the ‘enemy’ that media presents to us is nearly always false.

What is it called when you hear about one of your enemies planning an attack on you and, far from blocking it, you let it happen so as to open a sluice of opportunities and leverage not only against those who carried it out but also against your own people, as you take away all their civil liberties? Some call this a false flag attack, and we’re reminded of this recently as Americans revered all those lost in the 9/11 attacks some 25 years ago. Just before the anniversary, some of our social media timelines featured reports claiming that Benjamin Netanyahu must have known about the October 7th attacks by Hamas – but let them happen so as to begin a new war against Gazans in particular, which would ethnically cleanse them from the face of Palestine. Indeed, it seems unbelievable to think that Mossad, which we are told is the best intelligence agency in the world, would not have informers who would have tipped Bibi off. And if you examine how much of Israel’s longer-term objectives were reached – a genocide which could be presented to the world as a war against Hamas – there can be little doubt that his more recent statements about being as shocked as everyone else while it was happening cannot be true. If Mossad has the resources, technical knowledge and informer base to hunt down all of the Munich 1972 bombers and murder them in cold blood in Europe, then it should have had the intelligence beforehand on October 7th.

How do 19 jihadists enter the U.S., train in flying schools and not get spotted by either the CIA or the FBI? The answer is they didn’t. But if you assert the probability that 9/11 was an inside job, the accusation of ‘conspiracy theorist’ is usually wheeled out in rapid time – just as if you question the narrative from London and Washington on the Ukraine war, you are labelled “on Putin’s payroll”. The truth about 9/11 is that it was almost certainly staged by Mossad, who had used their technical abilities to reach out and control the bombers via chat windows, letting them believe they were being recruited by Osama Bin Laden. The intelligence agencies knew about the plot and, with George W. Bush’s approval, let it happen, as the benefits to the President and his cronies were considerable – but not as great as Israel’s. The Zionist entity hit the jackpot with 9/11. For decades, the fear from people like Bibi was that Western woke values would finally whitewash Palestinians and demonise the Zionists and everything they did. Israel needed a gigantic and immediate new level of Muslim hatred from ignorant Westerners, which would transform that anger into greater support and sympathy for what Israel had in mind for its Palestinians. It wanted that hatred to be translated into global political support, but also financial help from the U.S. in particular – but what the Zionists didn’t count on was the cherry on top of the cake. The objective was always to get the U.S. military to invade the Middle East and start a war against “jihadists”, further fuelling Muslim hatred via the body bags returning home. What they hadn’t reckoned on was that, in the chaos of the Iraq war, George W. would refuse to pay the back pay of Saddam’s regular soldiers – which, in essence, became the catalyst for what is ISIS today being formed. This, the Israelis couldn’t have dreamt of in their initial 9/11 plan – as the birth of Al Qaeda and then ISIS became not only the enemy of convenience for Obama and then Trump in their “war against terror”, which worked for Israel on many levels; but oddly enough, the same groups became useful mercenaries to do America and Israel’s dirty work in the region when they were needed to hit Iran and its allies. The attacks in London and Paris by individuals there inspired by what they saw of ISIS on YouTube just kept paying dividends for Israel.

9/11 was not the first of its kind. We should never forget that Pearl Harbour was also a false flag attack, as Truman (a senator at the time) and FDR knew it was coming and didn’t do anything to block it. They had the intelligence that an attack in the Pacific was imminent, and their own people told them Pearl Harbour was a sitting duck.

Why I Don’t Trust Legacy Media

During a bombshell Senate hearing last week, CIA officer, Jim Erdman III testified under oath that the CIA’s scientific analysts determined that the Covid pandemic started from a lab leak, but their scientific conclusions were hidden from Congress and the American public, in what Erdman called “a coverup.”

“Public policy would have been very different had the American public been made aware that a virus from a lab in China was going to serve as the foundation for an Emergency Use Authorization of mRNA products being mandated by the former administration,” Erdman said, questioning the validity of the Covid vaccine approval process.

Erdman also indicted Tony Fauci, the then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), for inserting himself into the Intelligence Community’s (IC) assessment of the Covid origins, on two documented occasions. In both instances, Fauci steered IC discussion toward a natural origin and away from declaring that the pandemic started from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which Fauci had funded via US government grants.

“Dr. Anthony Fauci influenced the IC’s analytic process and COVID origin’s findings by leveraging his position to ensure the IC consulted with a conflicted list of curated Subject Matter Experts (SME), public health officials, and scientists. This included the authors of the paper ‘The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2’ and other public health experts and scientists who have been in his orbit for 20+ years, many of whom have and did receive funding from NIAID, as well as scientists working under IC contract. This contradicts Dr. Fauci’s 2024 testimony to Congress, when he answered ‘not to my knowledge’ when asked if he had briefed any intel agency concerning viral research.” 

— Testimony of James E. Erdman III before the US Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee

Such explosive charges—a CIA coverup, Fauci’s complicity, and the misguided approval of Covid vaccines—should have ignited a media inferno, instead we got a cold frost. No front-page headline from the New York Times, no angry Washington Post editorial, no story of horror from NPR. And frozen silence from Science Magazine, Nature, Scientific American, and The Atlantic. Not even an icy tweet.

Now why is that? The answer is rather obvious.

Ottawa builds ‘trusted news’ directory as Miller warns of ‘illegitimate’ media

The Carney government is funding a directory designed to help Canadians find local news they can trust, as Ottawa increasingly casts state-funded media as a defence against disinformation and threats to “social cohesion.”

According to Access to Information records obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of Canadian Heritage is funding researchers to build a “comprehensive, regularly updated Canadian local news directory.”

“The information will help policymakers and others make more data-informed decisions about where interventions are needed and will help people struggling to find local news they can trust,” said an April 26 departmental memo.

The three-year project is being compiled by researchers at Toronto Metropolitan, Laval and Concordia universities. Canadian Heritage had spent $100,000 on the initiative at the time of the records, while the total budget was redacted.

The memo said the directory would reflect “qualified journalism organizations,” a Canada Revenue Agency designation used in determining eligibility for federal journalism tax measures.
