There is growing concern about the continued left wing bias of the BBC. See todays comment about the biased reporting of benefit tourism and how much it is costing us tax payers.
The comment ends "The BBC is a great national institution, but there has been cause for complaint about bias before. Its news division spent nearly a week giving rolling coverage of Ed Miliband’s spat with the Daily Mail over an article it wrote about his father. How the press deals with the families of politicians is a valid debate, but the outcome was that the corporation gave the Labour leader day after day of glowing coverage at the licence-payer’s expense.
When Tony Hall was appointed Director-General of the BBC last April in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal, he pledged to make the organisation more accountable and to restore the public’s trust. We would like to ask Lord Hall when that agenda will be extended to the news division, where blatant bias is likely to damage the viewer’s confidence in the broadcaster. Addressing tendentious reporting is all the more necessary because the issues under discussion are so important. When it comes to the debates over immigration, our relationship with the EU or welfare reform, the public deserves honesty and clarity. The subjectivity shown by the BBC will not do."
