I was going to write my opinion that the BBC is run by a bunch of raging leftie 'liberal' anti-Semites but again everybody knows that too. Don't they? I am delighted to say that I don't have to pay their excessive salaries via my taxes. So I won't bother to write - you won't print the truth anyway.

Surely this can't be true? I mean, if the Beeb is that bothered about global warming, they wouldn't insist on placing a reporter at every minor story throughout the land. On the other hand, I do think it's worhtwhile having reporters outside No. 10 Downing Street, for example, because I can never visualise it.

And all of those programmes using ever more carbon-consuming ways to show the habitat that they are destroying. Not the Beeb, no!

Anti-American bias is so deeply-ingrained in the minds of otherwise moderate people that they don't even notice it. The Beeb is far from alone in this. In France, for instance, it is poltical sucide to be even mildly even-handed when it comes to the USA, its actions and policies (Sarko got close, but reined back in the nick of time). And yet France owes its liberation from German occupation not once but twice to American intervention ("Lafayette, nous voila!" and all that). And the French are baffled that the Poles and Czechs are not taking to the streets to protest against the installation of American anti-missile defences on their territory (quite the reverse). But during the long night 1945 to 1989 the military power and resolve of the USA was the only hope that people in E. Europe had that their ordeal would ever end. So unlike the French (and to a lesser extent the British) they are grateful. So a manichean attitude towards the USA is childish, simplistic and ignorant.

It is more serious than inadvertent cultural bias; rather more foaming prejudice. Blacks are adored, yellows are completely ignored and invisible, whites (if they are male, English or American) are vilified, while Islamists are treated with the most delicate of kid gloves. Truth is just too last century and censorship is institutionalised. The BBC has become a latter day Pravda with many of its programmes mere propaganda vehicles for its emoting feminist, polytechnic marxist agenda. How on earth it can still represent itself as 'British' I do not know. An appeal to the Trade Descriptions Act is overdue.

Fat chance.

As you say left wing bias in the BBC is obvious to everyone, however i doubt the ability or the will of the powers that be in the BBC to do anything meaningful about it. A few years ago the Metrepolitan Police were described as institutionally racist, the BBC are i think institutionally biased.
