The current Chairman of the BBC is Sir Michael Lyons. How did he get this rather important job? Well he got it by being appointed by the Government, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to be precise. Even the BBC understand the problem, see here "His links to Gordon Brown, who was Chancellor at the time of Sir Michael's appointment, led to accusations of cronyism.". Goes some way to explain the blatant pro Gordon Brown bias at the BBC doesn't it?
"Liberal Democrat spokesman Don Foster MP said the report "highlights the failure of the government's post-Hutton attempts to reform the BBC...There is now real confusion as to who ensures the BBC remains independent from political interference and who is representing the interests of the licence fee payer," he added."
The phrases State Controlled Broadcaster comes to mind.

It is serious in that the BBC is no longer taken as seriously as it should be and especially abroad is considered very biased.
The people inside BBC especially the presenters and editors are destroying this important institution.
They will fall behind on technology and content and eventually people will migrate to other news sources much as I do.
Keep up the fight, Colin.
