If you edited out Aliyev and replaced him with Poroshenko or even Zelensky, would this BBC bimbo’s brain overheat into meltdown?
Did Crimea or the Donbass republics engage in any ethnic-cleansing of pro-Kiev Ukrainians (if they managed to find any)?
No….so the analogy is moot.
Notice how she’s so concerned over Armenia’s fears of ethnic-cleansing by the Azerbaijanis but when it comes to the Donbass, oh – it’s just Putin propaganda.
BBC, go away….don’t bother coming back another day.
Those Ukrainian neo-nazis are very civilized and would never think of doing such a thing.
They’d prefer genocide anyway.
Oh, now she has the gall to speak of bombed churches and civilian areas, as if hypocrisy is an inbred British trait and the public’s ignorance that which it feeds on.
Churches? How many hundreds in Kosovo?
And here’s the latest from our Ukrainian friends. Must have been a military barracks disguised as a home I guess.

Yes, Mr. Blindken….that’s it. Blinders become you, in your circle that is.
Somebody’s truly cruisin’ for a Russian bruisin’
Blinken’s too busy scripting rules-based order theatrical events to bother with Donbass civilians.
It’s his fascist-rules based order at work.
Before calling the interviewer a “bimbo” – could it be that she didn’t hit back because she KNEW there was no valid argument against what Aliyev was saying, because he was telling the truth. Could it be that she chose to preserve her dignity, rather than make herself look ridiculous like all these other so-called journalists who scream back spoon-fed propaganda slogans, knowing that she risked her job by not doing so? Just saying.
You’re very generous Helga. Those of us who live in the U.K. know these people well enough now, to understand how they operate. She probably does have a view, but new rules at the BBC state that interviewers are not allowed to air their personal views. They have been banned from commenting one way or the other on Twitter and other social media since last year. The new Director General of the Beeb, Tim Davie, put that into effect upon his appointment.
I don’t know how the BBC works internally, nor did I say that she is NOT a bimbo, I was only reacting to the immediate conclusion that any female is automatically assumed to be a “bimbo” (rather than just be called mistaken, or ignorant) unless she overwhelms us with her brilliance. I also couched it in “Could it be….?” instead of IS. My comment wasn’t inspired by generosity, but I was questioning language based on presumptions based on prejudices. (In spite of the fact that I am not one of the “woke” cancel culture dems.)
Calling people names like “bimbo” or “racist” or “hater” is just pejorative propaganda designed to relieve the user of the necessity of concrete descriptions.
I don’t even know what a “bimbo” is. What’s a “bimbo?”
It typically refers to youngish females who get by just on looks and little savy, say of the Dana Perino variety (e.g. blond bimbo) but I think it should be more universally applied even to men and the full spectrum of hair and skin colors, in the name of ‘inclusivity’. 😉
Blonde Bimbo: Michelle Kosinski @MichLKosinski
As an American journalist, you never expect:
1. Your own govt to lie to you, repeatedly
2. Your own govt to hide info the public has a right to know
3. Your own govt to spy on your communications
Just to make sure I was right, I googled it and Google agrees with what I thought “bimbo” meant: “Bimbo is a slang term for a conventionally attractive, sexualized, naive, and unintelligent woman. The term was originally used in the United States as early as 1919 for an unintelligent or brutish man. … It is often used to describe women who are blond, have curvaceous figures, heavy makeup, and revealing clothing.” That’s exactly what I thought, with emphasis on “native and unintelligent.” Assuming that blonds are bimbos is not only sexist but racist into the bargain. I find it highly offensive.
Is Michelle Kosinski a blonde bimbo or not?
I rest my case.
Probably someone who thinks UPA singlehandedly saved Europe from the Nazis and babi yar was the Ukrainian version of babaganoush.
If you don’t know what it is, then why be bothered by it? For all you know, it was a term of endearment.
Give your local fascist a hug. Send the rest off to prison.
Oh, she’s an educated sort alright. Very serious and well spoken but a bimbo nonetheless. Somewhere along the lines of a Catherine Ashton perhaps.
Would bozo be more acceptable?
in other words, no matter how highly educated, well spoken and serious she is, she is a bimbo (or a bozo) if you don’t agree with her opinion. Good thinking indeed.
If her opinion is thoroughly antithetical to the attributes you’ve named, then of course & thanks for the compliment.
BTW: That should qualify her as a bimbo^2, because given those attributes, she certainly should know better than the average bimbo.
When’s Cathy Ashton finally going to finish that investigation into the Maidan snipers? I mean, granted that she’s past her prime but this is ridiculous.
You must have been a product of a western ‘university’ within the last 10 to 15 years to be so bothered by the comment about the BBC bimbo. Men are not bothered by slights at male media dimwits, liars and propagandists.
The interviewer’s personality should not make difference.
But of course we are all subject to making judgements.
For example:
“fat cow”
“hard bitch”
“ugly”
“social just warrior”
“sold out”
“rude”
“aggressive” etc.
Women still have a chip on their shoulders by the cards dealt them from tens of thousands of years of a toxic-testosterone driven social pact. All I can say is: blame mother nature.
Test-tube babies and state-run youth camps will resolve all their complaints. Nurturing and bonding are the toxic bourgeois notions of the past.
Designer babies are my favorite. Tweak a few genes here and there and we’re off to the races.
I’m wondering if a lack of empathy is due to denial of nurturing. If so, we’re well on our way to PsychoWorld.
Some western women such as Helga have a chip on their shoulders due to self-hating and intentionally divisive ‘academic’ Jewish propaganda directed at western non-Jews.
Yes, but the hassidim women still walk 3 paces behind the men.
Wrong again, darling. Try 4 decades. And according to my experiences, men are just as easily offended when called names offending their masculinity, don’t they, little Dick, why don’t you grow a pair. Women have to deal with a long history of being looked down upon with disdain. Did you know that when the typewriter was invented, it was invented for men because it was assumed that women weren’t intelligent enough to operate the machine. I don’t recall how often I heard the phrase that “women just can’t think logically.” So when I hear a highly educated professional women referred… Read more »
Well, I can counter that argument by insisting that the smartphone was invented for women because that itsy bitsy keyboard is too small for my fat, ape-like fingers.
Anyway, do you consider the avoidance of hypocrisy in one’s journalistic endeavors to be a sign of intelligence because I consider the inability to recognize and avoid it to be a sign of bimbo/bozoism.
I wasn’t aware of that, thank you
No, I think she was reluctant to an absolute condemnation because she was caught between a rock and a hard place, condemn or console. British foreign policy would condemn Armenia were it useful but that it doesn’t want to console Erdogan’s policies yet it would condemn Azerbaijan but it doesn’t want to console Armenia and possibly its pro-Russian inclinations.
Or……it could simply be that once Biden recognized the Armenian genocide (for pos. the same rock and hard place reasons), the BBC simply and obediently followed suit, no independent introspection required.
Biden recognized the Armenian genocide simply to draw impetus from Armenia’s potential drift towards Russia. Nothing more nor less.
No doubt his neocon handlers whispered that requirement into his ear.
I am more inclined to think the US doesn’t much care one or the other what Armenians think. Raising the Armenian “genocide” from the dead after all this time was nothing more than a threat to Erdogan to not get too uppity with the West or else….
that may well be the simple truth.
….and by the way, that action by Biden is revealing of the general American character to stick their noses and two cents in at any time and anywhere on the planet. They had no role in resolving that conflict and I assume, no role in instigating it but they just can’t help themselves from butting in where they have absolutely nothing to contribute and in fact purposely kept a low profile, in public anyway.
But their poor little exceptional selves just can’t help themselves, can they?
Blinken will file it away in his portfolio of rule-based orders, for future threat as fits the occasion.
FACT, events in a foreign land thousands of miles away from Britain, contrary to popular belief, are no concerns of the Brits. The only time the Brits concern themselves in such affairs, is to control or guide events to benefit themselves. History is full of such examples from the Brits. They are in no position, to point the finger at any other nation, they are NOT squeeky clean.Let’s not forget their genocide attack against Iraq ?
I thought she did hit back in her journalistically devious way.
Thank you sir for calling out the fake BBC who moralise over everything except their own complicity. The BBC make all of us Brits pay for a licence to listen to their propaganda. And the have the audacity to call Russia and China about human rights.
When I lived in the UK, BBC channels were commercial free. Channels with commercials earned money that way, and the licence fees for the BBC brought in money that enabled them to remain ad-free. I’d rather pay for a licence than suffer the stupid brainless ads interrupting programmes every few minutes, that’s for sure. We have a few cinemas where I live that show ad-free films on Tuesdays for a fee of a few dollars. Definitely a plus.
That’s a shame. Probably more truth in the commercials than in the BBC.
Could have mentioned the recent hacks by anonymous re Foreign Commonwealth Development office…Strategic Initiative thingy….all the recent extra government funding to BBC for propaganda against foreign powers…but sadly and deliberately he is a close partner of Erdogan who has a terrible record of dealing with media and journalists trying to expose his dealings. Like draws to like?
‘Integrity Initiative’ Boy there’s a prime hubristic British oxymoron for you.
Yes, Helga….I know it’s not exactly an oxymoron by strict definition.
Now there’s an expression ripe to reap. Is saying ‘boy’ an earmark of misogyny?
I think I’ll tweet it and see if it gets scrubbed.
It was a racist insult when adult Black men were addressed as “boy.” I would consider it an insult to be called boy if I were a white man. As I am a woman, if someone addressed me as boy, I would advise them to see an optometrist to get a new prescription, or else perhaps that they are so brainwashed by the “woke” gender obsessed democrats that they are totally confused, and I would advise them to seek counseling.
Boy, I’m beat (tired) of the misinterpretation and misappropriation of American English slang.
‘Man, I’m wiped’ (70-80’s version of same)
Then there’s dude, on and on and on…..
The fact is, both sides in that conflict have legitimate gripes and maybe even casus belli. The interesting part is how the BBC instantly once again antagonistically takes a side to promote some agenda or other that comes from on high. Objectivity is dead. Journalism just mouths it in its dying breath. Wars start this way, in case no one’s noticed in her neck of the woods.
As opposed to Russia, who actually does actually engage in an objective diplomatic effort and work to find common ground for a cease fire.
That’s the true irony of it all. That’s why western propaganda stinks.
The EU did try to find common ground during Maidan but was headbutted by the US into the ropes and oblivion. They’re a pathetic lot.
she got sooo fucked she couldn’t even get up and go! 😎
MSM… prostituted attack dogs to the corrupt.
Meanwhile over at RT:
“HUMANS OF RT* (*Spoof of THAT CIA video)”
And some real “hard edge” journalism from the UK:
https://www.ukcolumn.org/ukcolumn-news/uk-column-news-7th-may-2021
Most of the British people know that the BBC keep skipping round important issues so as not to upset America and it’s best mates in a country who’s name I can’t mention. We Brits have to pay a licence fee to the BBC for the privilege of listening to this government propaganda machine.
Genocide in Azerbadjan?
BBC, how about genocide for instance in Libya?
Accused of illegal genocide in Libya: for the United Kingdom:
former PM David Cameron, Sir Stuart Peach, Def Min Liam Fox, Def Min William Hague.
And then tutoring other countries about their alleged behaviour? Quite arrogant.
The president is right. England have to let go Mr. Assange right away. England is keeping Mr. Assange illegally as prisoner. Unheard of!
Against International Law for Human Rights.
Free Julian Assange!
My only concern about freeing Julian Assange is where would he go? He cannot return to the US, he would be given a fake trial and incarcerated yet again. He could not be left to roam the streets of London, he’d be highly likely to be found dead in a dark alley once the CIA, or Mossad find him. Based on the Skripal case, they haven’t been seen nor heard of since the incident in Salisbury, supposedly given new identities and living in a “safe house”, but who the hell knows the truth? I’m sure Russia would offer hospitality to… Read more »
We in Britain have to pay a licence fee to watch or listen to their BS and if we don’t pay to listen to people like this overpaid woman, then it’s jail time for us.
