A quick search says that BBC is regularly accused of bias in both directions. Australia’s ABC is definitely accused of both.
Regardless. The policy doesn’t say anything about bias. It’s simply “editorial independence”.

Weslee@lemmy.world 1 year agoI think most people who live in the UK can tell you the BBC is extremely bias - they might not be controlled by the gov directly, but the people in charge are very pro right wing

Because the BBC has a a neoliberal, economically right wing while socially liberal, bias.

The left will shout bias when the BBC ignores reality. The right will shout bias when the BBC reports reality.

I live in the UK and I disagree with you. Assuming this right wing bias is true, how does it evidenced itself in the BBC’s programming and news coverage? Because I don’t see it. Especially their news, which seems very even-handed to me.

I stopped paying for and watching the BBC a few years ago, before I cancelled there was so much conservative coverage, they were inviting way more members of the Tory party onto the news
