The BBC enjoys a reputation worldwide for having the highest standards of impartiality in news journalism. Just because they dont aceept uncritically
all news direct from US administration and military sources, or view those sources as the final arbiters of 'truth' in certain matters, it does not then follow that they are 'skewed like hell to the left'. That has become the defining characteristic of some people's determination of 'left' or 'right' bias in media - do they accept uncritically, in a time of 'war', the press war of the one side or the other? I presume we have heard of psyops, propoganda? 'The first casualty of war...' etc?
The BBC plays for neither the one side nor the other. This pisses off both (often, their own government from whom they receive funding), for obvious reasons...
