Can I nominate people who reckon the BBC isn’t biased to the left for a cunting? The current argument seems to be “well, the Tories won [you can hear them sobbing into their muesli], so we can’t be biased”. I can watch an advert for cat food and see it for what it is, without having to rush out and buy a tin of Whiskas. You patronising lefty fucking CUNTS.

There are two conflicting biases at work at the BBC:
Obviously programme-makers – directors, writers, actors etc – tend to be lefties, we all know that, but this bias isn’t reflected in their programmes. You couldn’t argue that Call The Midwife or The Great British Bake Off has a crypto-Marxist agenda.
BBC News on the other hand has a clear pro-Tory agenda. Their coverage of the election campaign showed a pro-Tory bias that was clear for all to see – in the fact that Tory announcements always led BBC news broadcasts and were hardly ever balanced or rebutted by comments from other parties (unlike Labour/LibDem/Green/SNP announcements whcih were immediately trashed by Tory candidates); in the fact that Chicken Dave’s interview with his Eton chum led BBC news broadcasts (instead of being relegated to the PPB slot as all the other leader interviews were); in the fact that Tory announcements were rarely – if ever – challenged or questioned by BBC reporters or journalists (unlike announcements from any other parties), just routinely swallowed and presented as ‘facts’. But then of course BBC Head of News James Harding is a former Murdoch editor, so a pro-Tory bias is probably just second nature to him…
Maybe the BBC are labouring under the massive delusion that a pro-Left bias among programme-makers cancels out a pro-Tory bias in their news reporting? If so, then the BBC is a massive cunt for failing to grasp the concept of impartiality.
