I’m well aware that the media always twists the news, but by having the main channel prejudiced against one of the major political parties, the news we receive becomes even more biased. I’m not even tory myself, but I’d like to make my mind up without distorted news.
The Government needs to censor the news during wartime but this overlaps into BBC deference to the status quo and permanent anxiety about offending the powers that be.
Edit: A difficult knot to untangle. The BBC can’t avoid the appearance of bias because it’s Board of Governors is politically appointed.
Perhaps with a broader political base (eg if Goverment were commonly formed by coalition as might occur under proportional reprisentation) the pressure to please a single dominant ideology would lesten.
