Quite true. The Beeb is biased. Not the corrosive and intentional, overt
political or corporate sponsored type bias but the type that Andrew Marr
described as "cultural".

True, but anything beats the incredible *** pile which is the infotainment
networks of the USA - which excite but never inform.

I'd like to see the same test made of US news providers.

I'd say the Beeb is 'sympathetic' or 'sensitive' to Islamic issues. I don't see
that as outright bias.

Any time any media notices a politician lying, the politician declares
them to be "biased".

If you disagree with me, obviously you're biased. ;-)

I think the pols don't like the media because they're "biased" toward
telling the truth.

The BBC has a solid track record of being attacked by Governments of both right and
left which I find rather reassuring. ;~)
