Drawing attention to the BBC pro New Labour bias

Iscar on Biased BBC suggests this morning that "I think from now on we should always write BBC/Nulab rather like the old tactic of IRA/Sein Fein - to highlight the unity of the operation."

I have thought for a while that the BBC is behaving as the media wing of the Labour party and this shorthand might be a nice way to get this fact into the public consciousness. It might catch on, so let's use it.

The only question I have is which way is best "BBC/Nu Lab" or Nu Lab/BBC"? I seem to remember it was "Sinn Fein/IRA" in the media not "IRA/Sinn Fein", that itself being a way of spinning that the media friendly wing was more important than the gangster/terrorist wing. I suppose to follow that pattern we should stick to "BBC/Nu Lab".

Here here. England win a rugby match on a Saturday night. Top news story on BBC new website and teletext on Sunday morning? 'Brown praises fantastic England'. Shameless political bias from the BBC/Nulab. Is it even news never mind a top story?
