• About the Maitlis thing.

    I think ‘impartiality’ imposed on the BBC is an ongoing problem.

    The BBC should direct resource to poll and source good public opinion data. This would allow the BBC to remain politically non-partisan whilst still bluntly speaking truth to power.

    Statements such as “a large sector of the public believe X” could be backed up and the complaints dismissed.

  • I think basing news stories on public opinion rather than facts would be a very, very bad idea.

    Facts are not the same as public opinion. At all.
