The BBC have another reason to support Gordon Brown and the Labour party and denigrate David Cameron and the Conservative party

The Conservative party's Shadow Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, was interviewed by Gloria de Piero on GMTV; this is part of the interview:

"Gloria de Piero: Does what has happened over the last couple of
months make it harder for the BBC to justify the licence fee?

Jeremy Hunt: I think if they don't sort this out very very quickly
then yes, we will in the next few years be going back into the debate about
whether the licence fee can be justified. There are voices that say in a
multi-platform, multi-channel age the BBC should be a subscription service
that you should be able to opt-in to, not be forced to pay the licence fee
for and the justification of the licence fee is that the BBC does things
that the market alone won't provide. So I think the lesson from this is the
BBC has got to be behaving like a commercial viewer, a commercial channel
and it's got to start behaving like the gold-standard that we all want to
BBC to be.

Gloria de Piero: So the BBC should realise the future of the license
fee as far as you're concerned is at stake over all this?

Jeremy Hunt: Well I think it will affect the debate over the licence
fee if there are not able to restore trust very quickly."


The BBC will not take kindly to this and will be even keener to support Gordon Brown and denigrate David Cameron.
