What always makes me laugh about the accusations of bias thrown at the BBC is that they're levelled from both those on the right and those on the left. Constantly. What does that actually tell you? That in actual fact they do a pretty good job of riding the middle.

You obviously don't read enough sources then

The constant criticism levelled at Laura Kuenssberg for her treatment and endless trashing of Corbyn (that the BBC Trust found breached impartiality rules, as well as another senior figure commenting that BBC News' depiction of him had been unfair)? Nigel Farage being invited on Question Time more than literally anyone else? The refusal to report on anti government marches whilst other channels do? The general discreet support of the government? These are all pretty blatant things.

From my perspective this all levels out when you consider other evidence and that of course they're going to be pro establishment when they're under threat of being cut, but yes, there is definitely accusations of bias thrown at the BBC from both those on the right and left.

That DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE truth, there's nothing LESS "lefty liberal" than the bloody Monarchy . BNP members exclusively masturbate to sepia photographs of Liz. STATISTICAL FACT.

Ignoring the evidence and only looking at and believing the accusations levelled from your side doesn't make you right I'm afraid. Those on the left who criticise the BBC for leaning to the right are wrong, and those on the right who criticise the BBC for leaning to the left are wrong. And both are right too. Confusing, eh!

And that's a futile point since the entirety of the UK media worship the ground the royal family walk upon. And no other channel sucks the proverbial dick of the monarchy more than ****ing ITV. You have to be kidding me.
