MADAM,

I write to exhibit concern at the strong bias in favour of the Labour Party demonstrated by the BBC in its news programmes.

Sometimes subtle, yet often blatantly overt, this bias is also frequently shown in the disproportionate political imbalance within audiences on Question Time, for example; even those episodes coming from constituencies such as Norwich with a Conservative MP. Commentary and comedy programmes alike allow their guests to indulge the opportunity to hold forth with unchallenged, bigoted left-wing propagandist views.

Whatever one’s political view, this conduct by an institution funded by public money is totally undemocratic and absolutely unacceptable: such partisan, prejudiced bias should be resisted in the strongest terms.
