BBC to review biased news coverage, well not really
This news seems to have sneaked in, at least I missed it being reported anywhere.
The idea that the BBC can investigate whether the balance of its news reporting towards devolved Governments is biased whilst ignoring the general issue of its left-leaning incination (which is now widely accepted) seems ludicrous to me.
Having said that, it doesn't surprise me, it's the BBC.
What is a real shame about the BBC is that if it could sort out the bias the extent of its news coverage would make it world class. But without the necessary change it will remain mediocre.

Now generally accepted by whom?
Your paranoid delusional Tory mates?
Get a grip.
Here's the BBC denying it has accepted bias, with mentions of media reports that point to an inherent bias:

There were earlier reports which said the same thing.
Tory Porkie Pies, as the report says:
In fact, the report doesn't reach that conclusion - though it does quote people who hold those beliefs - and it also reflects concern over programmes associated with the Make Poverty History campaign, notably The Vicar of Dibley.
