Why no interest on the BBC?

The BBC were obsessed with the cash for questions row in the 1990s, an affair that was concerned with Conservative politicians. The BBC reported very heavily the expenses row as broken by The Telegraph, although they did noticeably concentrate on the Conservative rather more than the labour culprits; duck ponds and moat cleaning being funnier than the more larger expenses claims from such as Gerald Kaufman.

The BBC seem to have taken no interest in the revelations on Guido Fawkes' site that some Labour MPs are receiving campaign contributions from Trade Unions and in return are directly amending legislation. Kate Green has been caught bang to rights and even apologised to Parliament about it but I can find no mention of this story on the BBC news website at all; I wonder why?

We all know the BBC is a propaganda machine, not an objective news provider.

Please keep on pointing this out whenever it happens.

More and more people are getting news from alternative channels or sources so dissatisfaction with the BBC is growing; the Beeb's attempt to start charging for programmes delivered across the web will make it vulnerable as this will contravene the broadcast licence and re-open the argument about why the Beeb has to be paid if people want to access other TV channels.

The Beeb had an opportunity to introduce pay-as-you-go with the switch to digital but was 'frit'.

I agree with David P.
I only access the BBC news to see the bias.
To find out what is really happening in the World, I go onto the internet.
