Overall though I'd say the Beeb tends to be balanced, and those who think otherwise are the ones who should question their ability to see things fairly.

Economics Editor Robert Peston, who became a household name covering the financial crisis, said his employer's anxiety about perceived bias against the right - which Tory MPs and current employees have accused it of - was a myth that actually made it go in the opposite direction.

But Peston said any suggestion the BBC has a left-wing bias is "bollocks" and the broadcaster actually veers towards a right-wing, pro-establishment view for fear of criticism.

Alright said Fred wrote:Didge if you reckon to be a Tory and can't see the left wing bias of much of the BBCs output then you ain't a Tory.

Even the Director General admitted to a bias in BBC news coverage.

If UKIP has been given a extra helping of air time snce they came second that seems only fair.

The truth is because of Politicians ignoring the peoples wishes and guys like you who excuse the lack of democracy n the EU UKIP has gone p the charts in popularity,

It is the weasel Politicians who have done this.
