Left wing?? I’d say it’s more right wing covering up the opinions held by a large sections of society.

Psychodiva,

There is a website called Biased BBC which clearly shows a ‘trendy lefty’ in their reporting. I was surprised when I first read it as it is blatant.

As a lefty (and proud) I see the BBC as furthering a not-very-good-programmes agenda. Strictly speaking, though, the license fee is for telly, not radio.

There’s a more important issue here than the Beeb’s decline. Isn’t religion supposed to make you more ethical? And doesn’t that sort of imply honesty? I presume at least some of those involved in this exercise in lying to the listeners were churchgoing Christians.

I think he meant “airy-fairy let’s-celebrate-all-the-wonderful-unique-cultures” agenda. That’s what i call it anyway, i know plenty of decent left-wing people. I even used to be one myself.

Not long ago, the BBC broadcast footage of the Queen which had been heavily edited to misrepresent her. If they can’t even get their facts straight about the monarch, how can we believe what they say about the really important stuff?

Well what did we expect from the bible broadcasting corporation, a public owned broadcaster with a disproportionate number of religious nutters on its payroll who are given free air time to preach superstitious nonsense.

And I agree newspaniard, the BBC is not impartial and clings to a very trendy lefty bias – can’t upset the chattering classes can they?

I agree that the BBC were lying- and the religion and ethics part of the BBC has a lot to answer for- but what on earth has ‘left wing agenda’ got to do with it? where did that come from? why do you think there is a connection between religion and being left-wing? what left wing agenda do they have? what is wrong with being left wing? I am an atheist and I am left-wing as you might call it in some things but ‘right wing’ in others- please tell me more about your throwaway comment:)

Yet another case of the BBC lying through its teeth if the facts do not suit its left wing agenda.
