In this article , "BBC accused of institutional 'trendy left-wing bias", an official report from the BBC itself said that the organization:
•"institutionally biased".
•Not thinking outside of its Left-leaning "comfort zone" in its programming.
•pandered to politically motivated celebrities such as Bob Geldof
•allowed schedules to be hijacked by special interest groups promoting trendy issue
Interestingly enough, the report goes on to say that senior figures were forced to admit that they promoted Left-wing bias and anti-Christian points of view. In addition, gays and minorities were overrepresented in their staffing.
Their own reporter, Justin Webb, accused the BBC of being anti-American in its derogatory attitude toward the United States.
One excerpt from the article above[bold/italics mine]
The report follows a speech by Paul Dacre, editor-in-chief of Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail, at the beginning of the year about the BBC's failure to reflect the broader views of British people.
Delivering the Hugh Cudlipp Memorial lecture in January, Mr Dacre said: "What really disturbs me is that the BBC is, in every corpuscle of its corporate body, against the values of conservatism, with a small "c", which just happen to be the values held by millions of Britons.
"It is hostile to conservatism and the traditional Right, Britain's past and British values, America, Ulster Unionism, Euro-scepticism, capitalism and big business, the countryside, Christianity, and family values.
"Conversely it is sympathetic to Labour, European Federalism, the State and State spending, mass immigration, minority rights, multiculturalism, alternative lifestyles, abortion and progressiveness in the education and the justice systems."
He added: "The BBC is consumed by the kind of political correctness that is actually patronisingly contemptuous-of what it describes as ordinary people."
