+1 there! I was not protesting bias so much as astonishment that this gravity waves thing, which will affect no-one anytime soon or probably ever, had somehow been regarded as a more important issue than the Government war on the doctors.
The 'Beeb is a lefty outfit' thing, long trumpeted by the right, is smoke and mirrors. Rather than the left-wing bias the Tories frequently complain of the bias is clearly to the right. Nick Robinson, now the Today programme’s newest big hitter (formerly President of the Oxford University Conservative Association); flagship political TV presenter Andrew Neil (current Chairman of the Spectator), Neil’s editor (former chief of staff to recent Tory Minister Francis Maude); and Robert Peston’s replacement as BBC business editor was Kamal Ahmed (ex Sunday Telegraph).
Meanwhile, former BBC economics editor Stephanie Flanders departed for the UK arm of Wall Street’s JP Morgan; George Osborne's special advisor Thea Rogers is ex BBC; Cameron’s media bloke is former BBC news controller Craig Oliver; and Boris Johnson's communications supremo was ex-BBC political correspondent Guto Harri, replaced not long ago by the ex-BBC Will Walden. The list goes on!
