Is the BBC biased?: Compare and contrast coverage of the latest Boris Johnson story

The BBC want to destroy Boris Johnson, he has popularity outside of the Conservative Party, supports Brexit and has the recognition that leaders need. So any excuse to attack Boris Johnson. 

The wonderful Craig at http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.com/2018/08/compare-and-contrast.html has some analysis that shows the BBC bias, here's part of it:

'Structure of reports (by paragraphs)

ITV:
1-2 Views of Boris Johnson
3 Views of critics of Boris Johnson
4-5 Background reporting
6-8 Views of Boris Johnson
9-10 Views of critics of Boris Johnson
(Tweet from critic of Boris Johnson)
11-16 Views of Boris Johnson
Total for Boris Johnson -  11 
Total against Boris Johnson - 3 (& 1 tweet)

SKY:
1-9 Views of Boris Johnson
10-17 Views of critics of Boris Johnson
18-19 Government's view
Total for Boris Johnson -  9 
Total against Boris Johnson - 8 
Government's view - 2

BBC:
1 Views of critics of Boris Johnson
2 Views of Boris Johnson
3-11 Views of critics of Boris Johnson
(Tweet from critic of Boris Johnson)
12- 19 Views of Boris Johnson
20-26 Views of critics of Boris Johnson
27-28 Government's view
Total for Boris Johnson - 9 
Total against Boris Johnson - 17 (& 1 tweet)
Government's view - 2'

The BBC bias is pretty clear.
