As I've already mentioned above, feel free to critique them when they're in the wrong. As you have.

The FA Cup coverage wasn't in the least bit biased. I my opinion it was balanced. They showed the flare on the pitch. Referenced it, showed the pitch invasion, and showed the stewarding.

I don't work for, or have anyone who works for the Beeb who's a relative.
I don't buy into the biased Beeb narrative. Never have.

I think it's the same as the Beeb's supposed left-wing bias, i.e. it's there in certain people and departments, but not in others.

The BBC is a bloody huge organisation and inevitably every part of it ends up getting tarred with the same brush.

Lame, Alby.

AFC got fined by the FA for disrespecting us...so the BBC should be too :D

Oh, is this the program/scoreboard issue? When did that occur? How much. I didn't think it had happened yet? :?

We didn't put Coventry's name on three of the scoreboards but we got away with it.

Just recovering from shock at that comment, Lt Dan ! Sitting down with a stiff drink, recovering. I thought to work for the BBC you had to be a paid-up member of Momentum, and to have signed the "Politically Correct Magna Carta" ?

The Beeb is chock-a-bloc full of Oxbridge alumni. So, plenty of dear old lefties. And plenty of Jacob Rees-Mogg-alikes. So any bias, conscious or unconscious, is likely to vary in political stripe from programme to programme, department to department. Just as Dan states.

From a news perspective, study after study has revealed a consistent right wing bias. It’s s big old place though, so there will be other areas where that’s not true, or where there is a left wing bias.

I've always thought that the BBC is neither left or right, but a classic liberal establishment.
