I've read a lot about the "left" bias of the BBC. The thing is, "leftwing bias" has been a meme of the far right for since ever. It's the same strategy of projection that Trump does so fantastically well - project whatever they're doing (or trying to do) onto the opposition and pummel them with it. Sure they won't get exactly what they want, but every time they do it moves the needle a little towards their direction.
They should just me made to report the facts with the correct weight. The problem is that they include things like flat earthers, homeopaths etc into the conversation in a way which legitimizes them.
What they should be doing is requiring their news content to be fact based. So fact check politicians. Don't give the basket cases a platform (and fact check them if they slip in).
