THE LAST DITCH
Link: BBC report finds bias within corporation | Uk News | News | Telegraph.
So? Please tell us something we didn’t know. Did anyone think that a broadcaster capable of lauding Cuba’s healthcare was unbiased? That a broadcaster which consistently pits the least videogenic Tories against the best from other Parties on Question Time was balanced?
The BBC knows how biased it is. So the only interesting question is why it commissioned this report.
Tom, have you come across this piece by Johann Hari?

It presumably thought it was buying insurance against a Tory election win. My own guess is that, short of a big recession, Brown will win the next election after a year or two of reverse-Toni policies. So he’ll bring the troops home, insist on a referendum on any more Euro-creep, repeal Human Rights folly, and so on. At least, he’s a mug if he doesn’t. (If he really has balls, he’ll dump the Olympics.)

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.
Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
