Biased BBC


Is it just me or does the BBC sometimes appear biased. It is hard to pin down but evolves around their culture and impacts upon their news coverage. Some of Nick Robinsons blogging has attracted criticism recently and I think the critics have a point. Judge for youself and read a few of his posts. They are all here.

The BBC culture has also been criticised recently by the BBC Trust who say it is overly focussed on London. No kidding and "now to our Northern correspondent for more" sounds a bit like we are going to see some "poor Southerner" tied to a lampost in some bleak wasteland and of course you don't need more than one correspondent for the North!

Although its just a feeling people have if the BBC don't address it, especially in their news coverage, they will lose prestige and audience share.
