excessive sports coverage and irritating trailers for itself (“In America…”, aaargh…), I switched over to BBC News 24. Between 3 and 4am they reported “In Britain, the Conservative’s have launched their latest campaign poster on immigration”, voiced over a tight shot from below of Liam Fox up a ladder with a paste bucket – then back to the presenter, without actually showing a shot of the poster (which is why politicians do posters these days). This was quite in contrast to the blanket coverage of Labour’s new posters a couple of weeks ago. So, the ‘balanced’ BBC can claim they’ve covered the Conservative’s poster, even though they’ve treated the two main parties quite differently. Perhaps the BBC didn’t like the message on the poster – It’s not racist to impose limits on immigration. Yes, I expect that’s it – complete anathema to the BBC.

See my comment above.
The BBC is a political party in its own right……it is flirting with coalition with Lib Dems/Labour and polarises its programming to this end. It is not however averse to criticising Lib Dems or Labour if their policies deviate from the BBC Manifesto
Yeah, but it really only criticises from the left.
