Not that there's any reason to accuse the Beeb of bias.
Nope, no reason at all:

<<<

The BBC was last night plunged into a damaging general election row after it admitted equipping three hecklers with microphones and sending them into a campaign meeting addressed by Michael Howard, the Conservative leader.
>>>

"Quick, lads. We need some footage of hecklers disrupting the Evil HowardHitler's speech. Take these microphones and go make a bit of a ruckus, there's a good boy."

Of course, even though they were caught with their diminutive dicks clearly stuck in the cookie jar, the Beeb was quick to offer up a lame "explanation":

<<<

Last night, the BBC claimed that the exercise was part of a "completely legitimate programme about the history and art of political heckling" and said that other parties' meetings were being "observed". However, The Telegraph has established that none of Tony Blair's meetings was infiltrated or disrupted in similar fashion.
>>>

One can only hope and pray that the Beeb doesn't ever decide to run a "legitimate programme about the history and art of fiery plane crashes", or British Airways will be even more dangerous to fly than usual.
