In fact I think it was the lefty quasi-academic Glasgow Media Group which pioneered detailed analysis of BBC output. However, as I recall they didn't half have to twist the data to match their ideology. <br /><br />The left have some basis for complaint. The traditional socialist wing of the Labour Party (now unusually in the ascendant within the party) has definitely been treated less well by the BBC than the soggy left end of the party. But of course that sort of differential fades into insignificance compared to the anti-Brexit, anti-right wing, anti-populist, anti-nationalist and anti-Conservative bias within the belly of the BBC. <br /><br />The far left are kind of indulged and patronised more than criticised. Far leftism is almost encouraged by the BBC in children and in the arts. But in terms of mainstream politics, the BBC's preferred ideology is the globalist, pro-EU, multicultural, PC social democratic model - really Blairism without the pro-US foreign policy.
