Notice that the two complaints from the Right aren't openly accusing the BBC of bias. The first one from the Left even goes so far as to call Marr's show a Tory broadcast, and the second one is also very poor quality.<br /><br />(I am on record as saying that Marr is personally anti-Corbyn and sometimes shows it, but that's not what's going on here.)<br /><br />The anti-UKIP and pro-LibDem complaints are similarly weak. Yet these are held up as proof that the BBC gets it about right. <br /><br />Having said that, top marks for Burley for making the effort anyway. It makes you wonder, though, how he'd handle a quality complaint.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.com
