BBC report finds bias


"inherent liberal culture" pretty much says it all

I don't think this is going to surprise too many people.

The BBC has failed to promote proper debate on major political issues because of the inherent liberal culture of its staff, a report commissioned by the corporation has concluded.

The report claims that coverage of single-issue political causes, such as climate change and poverty, can be biased - and is particularly critical of Live 8 coverage, which it says amounted to endorsement.\

It warns that celebrities must not be pandered to and allowed to hijack the BBC schedule.

After a year-long investigation the report, published today, maintains that the corporation’s coverage of day-to-day politics is fair and impartial.

Bias in and of itself isn't the problem. I am a fan of advocacy journalism.

Bias pretending to be impartiality is the problem.

And dishonorable besides.

I just wish American networks would commission a similar report on themselves.
