I don't think you are factoring in the spin to be expected from any CEO, never mind the Director General of the BBC, who has to admit that his charge is less than innocent. The accusation of bias against the BBC is common enough, indeed it is a national joke amongst most people with a smidgen of political nouse. To deny, via a second- to third-hand source that the BBC is currently a left-wing, propagandist instrument is to belittle everything George Orwell warned us about via 1984. '... is now more technocratic' !? Does this not send a shiver down your spine? It should do. I suppose if you are a Blairite it could be a cosy affirmation of intention, so there would be no need for alarm.
