There is an excellent independent evidence based review by academics in Cardiff who published a report who agree with bias in many aspects of BBC reporting towards the right. I have been on many demonstrations this year some which we purposely start outside the BBC and we rarely get any coverage despite thousands standing outside.
The recent misreporting on Gaza anialation was very sad to see by the BBC.
That's interesting. For years people complained that the BBC is unreasonably biased toward the left. I suppose people see what they want to.
I love the Beeb, partly for the reasons @checkski mentions, as well as World Service, TMS, Radios 2,4 and 6. All that treasure for a tenner or so a month is incredible value, the license fee is the only bill I never moan about.
I find those who criticise the BBC for being too 'liberal' or left leaning generally don't know the definition of either term. The New York Times is roundly criticised for the same reasons yet it is fairly conservative in my view. That's it in the end, the definition of left or right leaning is wholly subjective.
