   Because they're paying for it, on pain of legal action. Because the BBC has   
   a charter; because it boasts of it's impartiality while, as the leaked   
   report says, is blatantly biased to the left. Even highly educated Harvard   
   types are ignorant enough to follow this line of reasoning and blurt   
   counterintuitively: so what, you want it biased to the Right?   
      
   No. I just don't like huge minitrus dedicated to telling lies - makes me   
   uncomfortable. Also, public service broadcasters - which is what the BBC   
   is - ought to think a little more about the public they serve.   
      
      
     I don't know why people like you get so worked up about the BBC's   
   > composition. (I'm American, so maybe I missed something.)   
      
      
   It is precisely because you;re American that you don't get it. American   
   lefties (Ms Bridegam is the textbook example) look with envious eyes at the   
   BBC because your own country is still very conservative. But when the Left   
   run an operation like the BBC those of us with intelligence are forced to   
   look at the nuances. When we do this we get shouted down - as people were   
   about the suicide bomb of multiculturalism-as-policy - as right wing nuts.   
   But it's just like the way Gollancz wanted to keep Orwell quiet over Animal   
   Farm.
