    Are they? In what way are they "far left?"

    Nigel Farage has been on 33 times, more than any other politician. Andrew Neil, considered to be their prime interviewer, is the former editor of the Daily Mail. They have been found to air sources that are critical of Labour/Jeremy Corbyn DOUBLE the amount of times they portray him as a good politician and give almost twice as much unchallenged airtime to Corbyn critics as they do anybody else.

    They are bound by strict impartiality rules by OFCOM, and they have a pretty good track record of pulling up broadcasters who take the piss. Corbyn claims the BBC are out to get him, but in truth, it's not tipping either way, it's only perceived as such by people on each side of the political spectrum.

    My big friend, Andrew Neil is so right wing that Boris Johnson is running scared of him. Can't have it both ways.;

    But those things are all worth staying in.

    You don't know what the ballot paper will say, I highly doubt anybody would risk alienating a portion of the nation on something as controversial as this. No Deal shouldn't be an option ever, it's ****ing suicide.

    I wasn't suggesting he was biased, but he is of right wing stock.

    The MSM isn't just the BBC anyway, that's just one news outlet.

    For people like myself, the economics of it all do not matter. Each to their own I suppose.

    Who is this presenter? She’s brilliant. Not letting any of them dodge anything.

    Andrew Neil is the editor of The Spectator - he is well known for his right wing views.

    He is, however, a fantastic interviewer and usually manages to give everyone the same treatment and scrutiny. It will be a shame when he retires.

    Basically, Johnson's arse fell out.

    Dodgy parents. Did she know? Of course she did. Only got upset when she realised he was going to jail.

    For anyone who thinks the BBC have a left-wing political bias:

    Name the political presenters/correspondents on BBC TV that are left of centre.

    "Regarding his political affiliations, he was formerly a Maoist and a member of the Socialist Campaign for a Labour Victory, an offshoot of the International-Communist League, now known as the Alliance for Workers' Liberty. At Cambridge, Marr says he was a "raving leftie" who handed out copies of Mao's Little Red Book and he acquired the nickname Red Andy.[8][9][10]"

    Laura Kuenssberg? She’s always struck me as centre leaning rightwards.
