Editorial's in the BBC do have bias (they generally lean slightly to the left) - it's just their news articles that don't. Do you feel cautious reading the news on the Beeb or just the editorials? I've never really seen any bias on their news articles. My problem is that it's all been written from the side of the person being arrested. He claim's that armed men pointed their guns at his daughter and led her along at gun point, this doesn't even seem particularly likely. There is no countering point of view from anybody else and everything that he said is taken and written as fact. |
Well, being a member of the University's Conservative party... I can tell you that not a single person there watches the BBC, because they feel it is biased. There is a bias in their news reporting - more about tone, and what's not being reported, rather than what is. Sometimes the bias is amazingly obvious, like during the proposed NHS reforms last year, or the tuition fee increase.
A lot of their entertainment programming has subtle hints of bias, too.
