To some, it is the voice of the nation, yet to others it has never
been clearer that the BBC is in the grip of an ideology that
prevents it reporting fairly on the world. Many have been
scandalised by its pessimism on Brexit and its one-sided
presentation of the Trump presidency, while simultaneously amused
by its outrage over 'fake news'. Robin Aitken, who himself spent
twenty-five years working for the BBC as a reporter and executive,
argues that the Corporation needs to be reminded that what is
'fake' rather depends on where one is standing. From where his feet
are planted, the BBC's own coverage of events often looks decidedly
peculiar, peppered with distortions, omissions and amplifications
tailored to its own liberal agenda. This punchy polemic - now fully
updated to cover the Corporation's tortured relationship with the
government and explore the challenges for the new Director-General
- galvanises the debate over how our licence fee money is spent,
and asks whether the BBC is a fair arbiter of the news or whether
it is a conduit for pervasive and institutional liberal left-wing
bias.
