Bias is in the eye of the beholder. Whichever government is in power they always reckon the mainstream media is biased against them. If you are on one side of a political argument then any report about the opposite view seems biased against you. If you think the BBC is bad then try Fox News in the USA.

Having said that though the BBC is a pale shadow of its former self. It is top heavy with management who spend all their time worrying about diversity and how to protect their non-jobs with the attendant big fat salary. Still some excellent programs but their 24 hour news coverage is dire - endless repeats of the same few stories and 90% of the content is just 'experts' giving their opinion. News and comment are two separate things but they have lost the ability to distinguish between them. Mind you they are still the least worst option and Radio 4 news coverage is a lot better than the TV version.

Apart from which...............can we please keep the 'B' word off these pages? I like to think that there is at least one refuge from the subject.
