BBC Bias?
Helen Boaden (Director of BBC News) writing one of those boring anodyne journo blogs…
The BBC employs more than 20,000 people across the UK. It is not a chattering class club of the kind depicted by the papers. It is a hugely varied organisation with many different cultures and a huge variety of opinions on every single issue among its staff. What does unite BBC staff however, is a deep commitment to BBC values and at the heart of those values is a commitment to impartiality.
Clearly she has never read Biased BCC – maybe her journalistic objectivity has been obscured by the Gruiard’s editorial line
& more pointed out by Bill ... from View from the Right
You’ve probably seen the news about the BBC admitting its left-wing bias. Unfortunately, to describe the BBC as biased is a huge understatement. The sheer cold malevolence toward Israel, toward America, toward traditional Britain, toward the West, toward God, toward existence itself that emanates from the BBC newsreaders and reporters is like nothing I’ve ever seen. It chills the soul. Soviet newscasters were mere grumpy apparatchniks by comparison.
Just remember dear readers, bias of this sort of quality can only be brought to you by the unique way that the BBC is funded

Frightfully true, the Media employs a variety of Socialist "culture" not unlike the Staasi or KGBBC - that's an invented loyalty, rigorously fabricated "impartiality", and a variety of toxic microorganisms.
Since it's an ideologically sterile environment with no original culture, they choose to embrace "multiculturalism" as an ersatz replacement of Kulturny, and their so-called impartiality is a committment to a series Potemkin Villages, chanted slogans, and forged documents through which they blissfully drive.

I am able to view "al BEEB's" world service available several times a day on U.S. Public Television. Their bias is amazing, and displayed both by thier choice of material and the tone taken by their reporters. My 15 y.o. son usually watches with me, and we've both been struck by the BBC's frequent use of "American political experts" who are invariably total unknowns, and the truly frightening appearance and affect of so many BBC female reporters. It's almost as if they go out of their way to recruit the least telegenic women available. By contrast U.S. tv is staffed by attractive (although often brainless) reporters.

The Beeb's female reporters are like the gals at a Soviet swimsuit-contest, with rank and party-seniority having its "privileges" (*cough*)!

Look, if you're oging to have total crap read at you (moronic Yank TV fare, or socialist Brit cant), it might as well emanate from a pretty face perched above some splendid tatas.
Although Daljit Dhaliwal was quite a looker... no wonder she left.
