Appointments are not directly political but you can bet that John Pilger would not be selected as a news-reporter by the Director General under a Tory Government. Also people confuse 'THE BBC' with the news departments and forget some of the excellent stuff they produce (or at least hard-fighting producers produce)like 'Hospital' which is at least as political as Newsnight and is hardly right-wing bias... I personally find Kuenssberg predictable and egotistical; it's fairly easy to see when she is a deliberate 'plant' (as at The Donalds/Theresa May interview in the good old USA) The BBC doesn't disturb me as much as do the millions of whingers who labour under the illusion that placing an X alongside someone's name every five years is 'democracy' ... THAT scares the shit out of me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
