BBC bias

Delicious.com reveal the newspaper sites with the most links from the BBC Editors blog. You will be shocked to learn that the list of the top four is as follows:
Guardian 56
Telegraph 31
Independent 24
Mail 18

No other paper received over 6 links.

Now why would the BBC have more links to the Guardian than any other paper and so many to the Independent? Could it be that they are the two most left of centre newspapers? I wonder how many of the links to the Mail are critical or sneering and how that compares to the links to the Guardian and Independent?

Maybe I'll find the time to do a links:readership calculation, somehow I think the Independent will rank rather high on that basis.

The BBC's left of centre bias is just so obvious isn't it.
