BBC Bias
Today Oliver Kamm (link to the right) lays into the BBC:I am frequently a defender of the BBC against allegations – which I think are mistaken and miss the real criticism of its approach – of political bias. This programme does strike me as inflammatory and unprofessional, however.
The fact that a defender of the BBC is moved to complain clearly adds weight to the complaint. Indeed in the past he has said:
The problem is not that the BBC is politically biased – a charge I have never made and do not believe.
Strangely however in his second blog post of all time he declared:
The BBC's incomprehension of the requirement for political impartiality is as predictable as its inability to frame its tendentious and self-important polemics in grammatical English
