The Telegraph regards the BBC as biassed. Uh-huh. Accusations of bias by the BBC toward the establishment, or against it - for, or against, either one of the main political parties - are frequent. I'm glad to see the governors protecting themselves against such... Such accusations are regularly shown to be groundless. The most famous time was when a BBC reporter (Bell) accused of bias and 'witch-hunting' stood against a prominent Tory (Hamilton) at election, and overturned what had been the third largest Tory majority in the country. Some background on the Telegraph. The Telegraph is owned by Hollinger - owner Conrad Black, a Canadian citizen married to Barbara Amiel, very active for the more Zionist of Jewish causes and a frequent (though derided) contributor to the Telegraph. Exactly why a RW Canadian businessman feels he is such a fine judge of the British political scene is a mystery... Black is a close friend of the previous Conservative government, and no friend of the Labour government that ousted them. He's a virulent Eurosceptic. This is of course a total coincidence and does not in any way influence his paper's stance, I'm sure. Just like Murdoich, and his press.
