The debate on this is now over. The BBC has from it's own lips admitted that it has a liberal culture and bias. And just compare them to any american outlet you like.

BBC does not = Fox, a non lib outlet.

BBC = nearly everyone else, who are long known to be liberal media outlets.

Talk about stating the obvious!

The BBC likely has done two things no major American media organization would dare: go through an internal investigation of its reporting biases, and; share conceivably unpopular results with the public.

Sure why would they care about admitting the obvious. They are a taxpayer funded monopoly. What fear can they possibly have? They are immune from the constraints of the marketplace.

They are insulated from any conceivable backlash by a liberal dominated government. Even should the Tories win an election they are unlikely to assault the independence of the BBC which is a traditional hallmark of modern Britain.

Well, I for one am too shocked for words.

If the celebrities were being beheaded by terrorists the BBC staff would be lining up to have their heads behead because it would be the coolest thing... And they wouldn’t want to offend the beheaders, otherwise they might die being thought of by their peers as some kind of uncool conservative racist who discriminates against poor hapless minorities.

Radical groupthink’s the parent of totalitarian thinking.

The BBC should now label itself with every broadcast, it should be noted and be on the screen that they work for the Leftwing and are admitted Liberals.

LBBC.

And in other news, bears crap in the woods, fish are wet in their natural habitat, and the sun rises in the East and sets in the West...

Captian Obvious strikes again!! :)

A staff impartiality seminar held last year is also documented in the report, at which executives admitted they would broadcast images of the Bible being thrown away but not the Koran, in case Muslims were offended.

This indicates, among other things, the cowardly nature of journalists. They know if they print something that offends the Muslims they're likely to get their a-- kicked (or worse), whereas they can feel free to offend the Christians all they wish, knowing that they won't be hurt.
