I am basically apolitical since I dislike and distrust all 3 major parties and threw my TV out 4 years ago due to BBC bias and dumbing down. The political person truly left out in the cold by them is Alec Salmond, who is treated as Winston Churchill was by the BBC prior to WW11. This shows the power Gordon Brown has over the BBC activists. Now is the time to bash the BBC over its so obvious bias on all fronts and to try to achieve true balance and honesty. People need to complain heartily giving daily specific instances of bias and demanding individual answers, as the website allows for (at the moment anyway)- a daily dose of bias is so easy to achieve with the Today programme from all commentators, as well as with Jacky Hardgraves on World at One or at the later news slot. The BBC will come back with parsimonious answer statements of investigation but no bias found, but if we insist on transparancy of complaints this will make them veeery veeery slowly change until we can weed out the worst and initiate a true culture change. I would advise people to subscribe on Google send emails to them on "BBC bias". They will get about 7 emails per day of which at least 50% give truly valid instances of BBC bias and lack of balance. Forget the phone-in fiasco - this is used as a red herring to counter the bias / balance claims. Regards, Colin. Hello,
