An internal BBC report has warned that the Corporation needs to beware in case it suffers from a liberal bias. Personally, I think this is overly self-critical - the BBC is one of the most neutral organisations I can think of. Examples given in the report included the Vicar of Dibley campaigning against poverty and the BBC broadcasting Live 8. Are the BBC meant to broadcast only fiction which has no bias in it? That would make for some exciting dramas and documentaries. And as for Live 8, just imagine the criticism if the BBC has refused to broadcast such a massive worldwide event! Just stupid.

The Guardian article is here.
