BBC pro-Labour bias (part xxx + 1) - update

The BBC have now amended their puff piece to include some opposing views:

"The Conservatives accused Mr Brown of economic "incompetence"."

"Shadow chancellor George Osborne said the latest UK housing figures meant millions of homeowners were being "confronted with the consequences of Gordon Brown's economic incompetence".

He added: "Gordon Brown failed to prepare. He borrowed in a boom and allowed the debt bubble to grow. Now the whole country is paying the price."

Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman Vincent Cable said the falling market would be a welcome "correction" for first-time buyers struggling to get on the property ladder.

But he warned that up to three million people who borrowed 90% or more of their property's value over the last year or so "have been sucked into negative equity".

He added that the credit crunch had meant mortgage rates had not been cut despite interest rate cuts, meaning many people were "finding it impossible to service their mortgage"."


I am pleased that the BBC have made these additions to the article but why did they have to wait until they had received complaints or reviewed their initial bias. The pro-Labour bias at the BBC is endemic and instinctive, are they capable of reform?
