Craig, Is the BBC biased? - 16 hours ago
Robin Aitken gives a fine 10-minute talk on this New Culture Forum video (posted below). A former BBC man himself, he describes how the BBC used to have two distinct divisions: BBC News and BBC Current Affairs.

When colleagues wrote a news bulletin piece it was all fact, no comment. Even adjectives were suspect. It was very much a matter of reporting who, what, where, when. We left the task of explaining the why to the current affairs peo...

Before I went to bed last night I noticed that the BBC News website was leading with the summary of a draft report looking into allegations of bullying by Priti Patel.

The curious thing, however, was that, whether it was the ITV News website or *The Daily Telegraph*, or the Sky News website or *The Times*, they all - to varying degrees - reported that the civil servants involved in the affair were also apportioned some share of the blame, not just Priti Patel. ...
