Same on Radio 4 this morning. It is quite obvious that anyone with right wing or centrist views would never be employed by the BBC. They couldn't function there and would be probably bullied out of the organisation. The fact that our national and heavily funded news organisation is so unashamedly biased towards the left is very chilling.
