This really shows the opposite ends of the spectrum where posters are!

Psaw - 'It doesn't bother to camouflage its hatred of the Tories anymore.

To me everything has an edge of poison to it, being critical of the Tories over everything, while sympathising with Labour.'

I think it's pretty obvious that they will appear critical of the Government because they are the ones who are making decisions etc. For that same reason, it will appear they are siding with the Opposition. For me, the BBC have their problems, especially ridiculous amounts they pay to presenters eg. Lineker and Shearer - but the problem is that to get 'names' they are competing with Sky, BT etc. Overall, I am happy with the BBC and have little problem with their news coverage.
