Craig, Is the BBC biased? - 21 hours ago
This morning's *Sunday *programme on Radio 4 was typical. It began, as it so often does these days, by reporting criticism of PM Modi's BJP government in India. Mr Modi's ears must often burn on Sunday mornings. Then there were two people who converted to religion during lockdown - one, inevitably, to Islam. And then there was the usual guest from main presenter Ed Stourton's liberal Catholic magazine *The Tablet* talking breathlessly about Pope Francis. An interview discussing a campaign petitioning for a 14-year old Christian girl being persecuted in Pakistan to be grante...
Have They Got Bias For Us
Craig, Is the BBC biased? - 22 hours ago
In what must surely be the least surprising report into BBC bias ever produced, the Campaign for Common Sense analysed comedy programmes on BBC One, BBC Two and Radio 4 throughout November and found - across 364 slots - and found that 74% of the slots were occupied by comedians “with publicly pronounced Left-leaning, anti-Brexit or ‘woke’ views.” So that's 74% of 141 comedians, with only two comedians - Geoff Norcott (of course) and Gyles Brandreth - holding openly expressed pro-Brexit or Conservative sympathies. Even DG Tim Davie has acknowledged that BBC comedy has a problem in ...

Tried and True Tech: Why Russia’s T-90 Tank Is A Beast
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Europe* The T-90 family of tanks are a mix of old and new. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Herein lies one of the strengths inherent to Russian arms exports: instead of focusing on selling the latest, greatest, and most technologically advanced equipment, the T-90 family focuses instead on tried-and-true technologies, incrementally improving them onto a compact, affordable platform. The T-90 and associated variants are one hell of a tank — may be the best in Russian inventories. Relatively modern, they sport many levels of armor and capabilities, ar...
Are Iran’s F-5 Fighters a Joke or a Surprise Threat?
David Axe, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* These aging American-made fighters are still being used by Tehran. *Key point: *The F-4 is old, but it may actually be more agile than America's modern F-35s. Would that actually matter in a dogfight? Amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, in part resulting from U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision unilaterally to withdraw the United States from the 2015 deal limiting Iran’s nuclear program, the U.S. armed forces have deployed a wide array of ships, planes and other weapons to the Middle East.

The U.S. Military Still Relies on Too Much Ancient Tech

*David Axe* *Security, * The M-1 main battle tank and M-2 infantry fighting vehicle, both centerpieces of the U.S. Army’s heavy forces and both present for Trump’s event, “looked more like a military antiques roadshow than a display of a 21st-century military power,” Mahnken and Zakheim wrote. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Trump’s Independence Day rally was a strictly land- and air-power affair. But if it had included a naval parade, it would have highlighted the old-age problems and shortages afflicting the U.S. Navy, as well. The U.S. military possesses way too much old,...

Aldi is now the 9th largest grocery chain in the United States, with its sights set on far bigger goals and further expansion in the coming years. The grocery store chain has drawn rave reviews from many shoppers in large part because of its growing interest in providing a wide selection organic and non-GMO foods to its customers, a stated mission on its website, Aldi.us. While some alternative media reports have widely hinted that Aldi is attempting to become fully organic, these reports are not in fact true. That being said, the growing grocery store chain has been increasing its...

* Humanities professors are their own worst enemies* Virtually all the ills plaguing the modern humanities—declining enrollment, loss of funding, fewer tenure-track jobs, decreased public appreciation—have been caused primarily by the people who study and teach them, the humanists. Regardless of where they try to lay the blame, from college administrators to state legislators to students too dumb to know what’s good for them, humanities professors have indeed done all that to themselves. As a student in the 1980s, like many bookish young people of my era, I gravitated toward the ...
China’s J-20 Stealth Fighter Destroys the F-35 and F-22 in One Contest

*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * Maybe the most important of all for this century. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *There is much that is still unknown about the J-20, including its launch mechanism and the final specifications of its WS-15 engine currently in development. It remains to be seen if this particular armament configuration makes it into the regular production process, but the juxtaposition of the PL-15 and PL-10 inside the J-20’s frame can become a stark concern for the United States and some of its regional allies who continue to rely on aging AMRAAM technology.

A Tank of Firsts: For Russia, the T-64 was Special
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * Despite the technological leaps that were made with the T-64 platform, it was doomed by it’s price. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The T-64 was intended to fit the armor protection and firepower of a heavy tank onto a medium platform. This would, in theory, allow the tank to remain relatively nimble, despite the increase in firepower. The T-64 sported many firsts for the Soviet Union — the first tank with composite armor, first tank with an autoloader, first tank with a smoothbore gun. It was innovative, but expensive, and mechanically complex. ...
Sig Sauer’s MG 338 Heavy Machine Gun is Extending the Kill Range for Infantry Squads
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * The MG 338 represents Sig’s attempt to bridge the gap between the crew-served M2 Browning heavy machine gun, chambered in .50 BMG, and the M240 family of medium machine guns, chambered in 7.62x51 NATO. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The .338 Norma Magnum is certainly a powerful round. Combined with the light and relatively maneuverable MG 338 platform, the range of a Marine or Army infantry squad would definitely be extended. Still, it may not be what’s needed in future warfighting scenarios. In a press release on the Sig Sauer website, Sig annou...
