BBC bias - it's insidious

BBC bias is insidious, it's always there. I turned on BBC 5Live this morning and caught 30 seconds of Alan Davies's show. It was about 10:35 and he had just introduced Jo Brand. Alan Davies said that he had read an excellent  review of Jo Brand's sitcom in The Telegraph, 'on-line' he hastened to add - presumably in case anyone might think he purchased such a newspaper. Jo Brand wondered if the good review was connected with her father working for The Telegraph... comedic pause... 'not that he does, I'd kill him if he did'.

'Oh that's just a joke, you're too sensitive, Mr NotaSheep' - Maybe, but then whereas BBC comedians make regular fun of Telegraph readers, Sun readers and especially Daily Mail readers, when was the last time you heard a comedian on the BBC poking fun at the views of Daily Mirror readers or Guardian readers?

The bias on the BBC is insidious and ever-present, it'sa form of brainwashing, it's evil and it must be stopped.
