BBC pro-Labour bias

The Toady programme sounds more and more like the Labour party's house radio station. For the most part overly positive about the Labour party and its leader; with a negative article allowed every so often so as to show that they are not totally under the spell of "the man". Of course these pieces of "independent thought" are always "balanced" by a more serious and harder hitting attack on the hated Conservatives. David Cameron and other leading Conservatives have a problem; if they want not to be totally savaged by the BBC then they have to try and tickle the BBC's collective tummy by sounding as cuddly and "liberal" as possible. Of course the BBC hate the Conservative party and will look for any excuse to attack them and their policies so the Conservative leadership have to as anodyne as possible when interviewed by the BBC. This lack of policy teeth then allows the Labour/BBC axis to attack the Conservatives for having no distinctive policies.

As the BBC will not change its spots and as the bias of the BBC is becoming more obvious to the general public; the question is should the Conservative leadership make clear their distaste for the pro-Labour bias of the BBC.
