BBC unmasked The British Broadcasting Corp. has "failed to promote proper debate on major political issues because of the inherent liberal culture of its staff," a report commissioned by the BBC itself has concluded. Coverage of single-issue political causes, such as climate change and poverty, can be biased -- particularly Live 8 coverage, which it says amounted to endorsement. The report warned "that celebrities must not be pandered to and allowed to hijack the BBC schedule." It concluded that BBC staff must be more willing to challenge their own beliefs. "There is a tendency to 'group think' with too many staff inhabiting a shared space and comfort zone." A staff impartiality seminar held last year is also documented in the report, at which executives said they would broadcast images of the Bible being thrown away but not the Koran, in case Muslims were offended. "During the seminar, a senior BBC reporter also criticized the corporation for being anti-American," the London Daily Telegraph reported yesterday.
