Balance...

Is the BBC biased?  Certainly there are those who think it is - Liam Fox (the International Trade Secretary) for one.  He has slammed the Corporation for what he sees as anti-Brexit reporting, saying that it seems "elements of the media" appear to want Britain to fail.  And of course there was Andrea Leadsom the other day suggesting that the BBC might be "a bit patriotic" when dealing with the Brexit negotiations.  Well I was (and to the extent that it still matters, am) a Remainer, so perhaps I don't see it, and it would in any case be naïve to suggest that BBC presenters do not have their own thoughts about contentious matters and it must be difficult not to allow these to colour, however slightly, what they say.  I still maintain that the BBC gives the most balanced coverage of any of the major news outlets.
