The BBC HAS NEVER BEEN IMPARTIAL since it started IMHO. Agreed. Completely in the Tory pocket these days. Disagree with that. The other 50% think they are left biased. Interesting observation though. Someone I know was visiting The White House (Yes the one in Washington). The wall in one room had several TV srcreens on showing the news. They were told the only one that is on 24/7 is the BBC News as it is the most reliable and factual. Reading about the shenanagons with Fox News I am not surprised. By all means complain if you think you see bias but discredit the BBC at our peril.

You are right, I was playing Devil's Advocate.
I think that is the charm of the BBC - too right for the lefties, and too left for the righties. Means they've probably got it spot on.

It has a metropolitan left liberal bias - the BBC knows this, tries for impartiality but often struggles to achieve it.

It has a metropolitan left liberal bias - the BBC knows this, tries for impartiality but often struggles to achieve it. And that's exactly what the establishment want you to think.....  said the BBC was biased "towards power and privilege, tradition and orthodoxy". He said that the view that the BBC was biased to the left, which he said had been "internalised even by liberals and leftists", "is a calculated and cynical move by the right to cow the corporation into submission".

I would guess that the paltry sample size was also people around him/her/they/it/them in the office. I doubt they went out and performed a serious check.
Probably sat an intern in the enterance to the canteen.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I didn't watch it as I have no time for the philanderer or his complicit partner but I did read this earlier today and thought what a pathetic under resourced poll it was  As far as him representing the Church of England with his marital history - I don't think so  Surely that sort of behaviour is at the very heart of the foundation of the Church of England? The very first 'Supreme Head' of the Church was hardly a bastion of marital fidelity And there are numerous 'Supreme Heads/Govenors' since HVIII that have had 'extra marital affairs'........:) I do like to think we learn from history though, he only had to follow his Mothers example, it wasn't rocket science.. On another level maybe he was getting down with the people by knocking off someone else's Misses whilst still married, who knows.. TIC

To be honest I would prefer a Head of the Church to be a one time extramarital affair person than the other faith option of child abuser.
