“Bloated and biased BBC”

Today’s Scotland on Sunday takes the BBC to task in an article entitled “Bloated and biased BBC“:

During recent decades the BBC has drifted into political bias to a degree that makes its licence-supported status as a “public-service broadcaster” a mockery. Alongside some excellent programming exists a mind-set almost always slanted leftwards. It needs much more pluralism in its output if it is to survive.

The BBC should take care: it has made too many enemies. Both main political parties now regard it as bloated and in need of radical reform.

Well said.
