Is the BBC doing a good job on impartiality?

WE DON’T know when the next General Election will be, but the BBC has already started its proLabour news agenda. No good news from the Tories is reported until it is rubbished by a Labour Party activist, supporter, MP or BBC reporter/presenter/interviewer.

ROGER FOWNES, Bromsgrove, Worcs. HOW I agree with John Humphrys’s views on the Left-wing bias of the BBC. I have listened to or watched its evening news programme for 80 years. I still regularly watch the Six o’clock News and I wonder how many people do as I do, and switch to another news channel at 6.15pm. the second half is usually so biased that it could be mistaken for a party political broadcast.

The BBC has spent a fortune of the licensing fee on World On Fire, a tale of events leading up to World War II, but spoils it with its need to fit in Left-wing cliches and stock characters — heroic Poles, gritty working-class Northerners, strong independent women, posh English toff Nazi sympathiser — and it was only the first episode!

PAUL RUANE, Cannington, Somerset. AS THE BBC continues to ignore the Left-wing bias of its news and current affairs, further proof was the treatment of chancellor Sajid Javid on its breakfast show. the agitated tone from the presenter contrasted with the nice conversation that took place shortly after with Labour’s Jess Phillips.

EVERY evening at 10 o’clock I have to decide whether I can stomach the BBC bias or the droning oratory of ITV’s Robert Peston. I normally choose the latter.
