The BBC is the best of British

The BBC has come in for criticism — justified and less so — from both right and left. The left’s critique is largely focussed on its news coverage. In these partisan times, coverage of criticism of Jeremy Corbyn was seen as BBC reporters actually delivering that criticism themselves. It’s not a view I share, as I think the public has a right not just to know, but to have these things set out by people who have spent years analysing these trends and who can dispassionately put them into a wider context.
