The BBC's promotion of the Alternative Vote has been clear to anyone watching, listening or reading their coverage of the story, Craig's piece at Biased-BBC being a good analysis of just one example, but many are asking why? Surely the Labour party are split on this matter so why are the BBC so decided? Then Vince Cable (government loyalist (?)) explained it with his comments this morning that voting for AV would end Tory dominance; what more reason does a true BBC person need to support AV than that?
I thought the BBC were firmly in the no camp.
ReplyDeleteAt first they refused to even acknowledge it was a referendum on electoral reform, then afterwards appear happy to parrot th no camp's hysterical scaremongering, cynical muddying of the waters and outright lies as if they are legitimate arguments.
Another case of the establishment fearing change.
