The BBC has failed to promote proper debate on major political issues because of the inherent liberal culture of its staff, a report commissioned by the corporation has concluded.
The report claims that coverage of single-issue political causes, such as climate change and poverty, can be biased – and is particularly critical of Live 8 coverage, which it says amounted to endorsement.
It warns that celebrities must not be pandered to and allowed to hijack the BBC schedule.
That’s from a report from Gary Cleland of The Telegraph. [1].
It’s not much, but it’s a start in the right direction. After all, admitting you have a problem, is the first step in solving it.
