Biased BBC contributor Alan notes;
Attack: Lord Carey has blasted the bishops who tried to derail the Government's £26,000-a-year benefit cap
"Had the former Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, said Banker's behaviour was the greatest moral scandal of our time I'm certain the BBC would have trumpeted it like some avenging Herald....but he didn't say that which is why his words have been sunk in obscurity with no fanfare what so ever by the BBC. Although his comments were in the Daily Mail yesterday morning there has been a blanket silence across the BBC despite his powerful condemnation of the Bishop's who opposed the cap on benefits....and not even a peep out of the Today programme."

'Archbishop blasts clerics who oppose welfare reform and declares the REAL moral scandal is our £1TRILLION debt'

About Biased BBC

"Last year the BBC collected £3.2billion from licence-payers (pg. 82). The latest licence fee settlement will give the BBC at least £20 billion from licence payers over six years."

"We get from time to time people saying you're biased in favour of the Labour Party. Every time I ask people - show me a case of that bias, explain to me where we got it wrong and why what we said was so unfair - they seem to be unable to do so",

Andrew Marr May 11th, 2001.

"The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It's a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people. It has a liberal bias not so much a party-political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias",

Andrew Marr

the Daily Mail, Oct 21st, 2006.

"It's not a conspiracy. It's visceral. They think they are on the middle ground",

Jeff Randall former BBC Business Editor,

in The Observer, Jan 15th, 2006.

"The idea of a tax on the ownership of a television belongs in the 1950s. Why not tax people for owning a washing machine to fund the manufacture of Persil?",

Jeremy Paxman

James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture, Aug 24th, 2007.

"People who know a lot more than I do may be right when they claim that [global warming] is the consequence of our own behaviour. I assume that this is why the BBC's coverage of the issue abandoned the pretence of impartiality long ago",

Jeremy Paxman

Media Guardian, Jan 31st, 2007.

"I do remember... the corridors of Broadcasting House were strewn with empty champagne bottles. I'll always remember that"
Jane Garvey

BBC Five Live, May 10th, 2007, recalling May 2nd, 1997.
