    Is some BBC bias actually as a result of it trying to be impartial?

    “Sarah Champion quits Labour front bench over rape article”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40952224

    Telegraph version –

    “Sarah Champion forced out of Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet after warning Pakistani men are raping white girls”

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/16/sarah-champion-quits-jeremy-corbyns-shadow-cabinet-warning-pakistani/

    Sometimes ‘impartiality’ isn’t appropriate.

    (The BBC received a complaint which was upheld – can’t find the details)

      Imho, This is an argument for Liberals to sort out for themselves.

      BBC has rarely been impartial towards what it perceives as ‘Right-Wing’ issues eg Trump, T Robinson

        It has dawned on me that ‘fairness’ and ‘equality’ are not the same. In fact, fairness appears to be an ‘out of date’ concept and rarely mentioned. ‘Box ticking’ such as we see in advertising and elsewhere is not the way to go.
