I would say at the outset that it is clearly no such thing. It seems to me, if anything, to be evidence of bias in favour of liberal Catholicism.</i><br /><br />Same thing, really. Excellent work, Craig. The two most-featured Catholic voices on TFTY are from the same liberal publication?

Friends giving work to friends. In just about any other walk of life this would be unacceptable. In the media it's customary, rather like the former leaders of the pro-Serbian Revolutionary Communist Party - Clare Fox, Ann and Frank Furedi, Brendan O'Neill - who keep each other in clover.

This really ought to change <br /><br />That the Tablet shows bias is one thing. After all no one need buy it and in my part of the Catholic world, few do.<br /><br />That the BBC should be party to such biased and collusive comment and reporting is another matter. After all we Catholics pay our license fee like anyone else and expect objective analytical reporting on Catholic or indeed on any other matters, and we are not getting it.<br /><br />So a formal complaint to the BBC is in order. <br /><br />Now this can be done easily via <br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/where-to-complain/<br /><br />Personally, since email complaints are too easily filed away and hidden in the “grass”, I prefer a written complaint, in this case to<br /> <br />BBC Complaints, PO Box 1922, Darlington, DL3 0UR <br /><br /><br />although a copy to shall we say Jeremy Hunt the Culture Secretary would perhaps provoke a few questions?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-52469026200871594462012-11-05T21:10:14.661+00:002012-11-05T21:10:14.661+00:00An on-line complaint of bias to the BBC complaint ...An on-line complaint of bias to the BBC complaint site only took a couple of minutes.
